    I'm aware of erricsson, and Alkermes medtronic and a new one called Ariel? Who bought elan?
    Is there one in Longford also? "
    Thanks.

    Alkermes (this was formerly Elan), Alexion, Ericsson, Covidien, KCI Manufacturing, Utah Medical and DPD among many others are all large employers in the town.

    The why? Well Athlone is a large (in Irish terms anyway) town with a 3rd level institution, young workforce, is a regional capital and has excellent transport links.
