The company, which was spun-out from the National Microelectronics Research Centre more than 20 years ago, was acquired by Exaketara, a subsidiary of US private equity firm Union Park Capital, in late 2021. Prophotonix makes LED lighting systems used across a range of sectors including industry and medicine in products such as disinfection systems and 3D printing.
The company said the latest investment would allow it increase production flexibility at the Cork facility, “enabling Prophotonix to deliver its LED lights faster for its diverse customer base”.
