Abbott came to Ireland in 1946 with its commercial operation. In 1974 Abbott Ireland established two manufacturing facilities and has since added a further five employing approximately 3,400 staff, resulting in Abbott Ireland being one of the largest overseas activities of Abbott Laboratories.

Six of Abbott's Manufacturing Divisions are represented across its sites:                                                               Diabetes Care in Donegal Town; Nutritional in Cootehill, Co. Cavan and Ballytivnan, Sligo; Diagnostics in Sligo and Longford; Pharmaceuticals in Sligo and Vascular Devices in Clonmel. Abbott Ireland's Headquarters and Abbott Nutrition Limited are also located in Sligo.                                                                                                                                           Abbott Laboratories Sales and Marketing Division and Abbott Mature Product Management Limited are located in Dublin.
