ABBOTT WORLD

We understand that proper nutrition is the foundation for living the best life possible. That’s why we develop science-based nutrition products for people of all ages. Our products help babies and children grow, keep bodies strong and active, and support the unique nutrition needs of people with chronic illnesses — to make every stage of life a healthy one.

Abbott is a leader in providing enteral nutrition feeding devices, including enteral feeding pumps and pump sets. Enteral feeding (also known as tube feeding) is a means of providing nutrition to people who cannot obtain nutrition by swallowing. Enteral nutrition contains all the calories and vitamins a person needs.

HISTORY

Abbott established our first manufacturing facility in Ireland in 1974 at the Ballytivnan site in Sligo. With further investment, Ballytivnan transitioned from a manual to fully automated operation, with state-of-the-art automated manufacturing lines. The facility comprises moulding, extrusion and high-speed assembly in a lean operation. Now located in Carbury point, Finisklin, Sligo the Shingo prize winning site is a Class A facility with awards for operational excellence, safety, training and development, as well as employee volunteering. The Shingo Prize for Operational Excellence recognises the site’s journey to continually improve using tools and systems and most importantly a culture of excellence which has delivered sustainable results year on year.

In addition to the manufacturing facility, the site has developed into the Abbott Nutrition Devices Centre of Excellence, with responsibility for all aspects of international enteral pump management.
