Abbott Ireland Nutrition Sligo
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.

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. Over the years, we’ve transformed from manual operations to a state-of-the-art, fully automated facility. Now located in Carbury Point, Finisklin, Sligo, our award-winning site is recognized for operational excellence, safety, training, and community involvement. The prestigious Shingo Prize for Operational Excellence highlights our commitment to continuous improvement and a culture of excellence, delivering sustainable results year after year.
