“We are honoured to have both Presidents witness this new trade agreement and of course we are honoured to be working with Mexico. It was one of the first countries in the world to identify the benefits of our unique Biochip technology; it is a very progressive nation, we are a very progressive company, we appreciate this cohesion.
“Of course, it is not just about economic growth and job creation, most important to us is the fact that our technology, researched and developed in Ireland, will contribute to earlier diagnosis, more accurate treatment and better outcomes for patients in Mexico, as well as reducing the burden on the country’s health service.”

“Randox Teoranta is a prestigious and renowned company. We have achieved a successful, cordial and long-lasting relationship, always based on the quality of the products boasted by the brand, on respect and on excelling international quality regulations.

The continued success of this partnership will now generate an additional 20 jobs here in Mexico, with more to come in the future.”
