A new office facility has been opened in Co Louth by a global human resources firm.

Kenexa received support from IDA Ireland to launch the new Dundalk facility.

Trade Minister Mary Coughlan welcomed the firm to the region.

"Located in the North-East region, Dundalk is in Ireland’s busiest economic corridors, between Dublin and Belfast, the two largest cities.

"The decision by Kenexa to locate here further adds to the regions portfolio of high calibre Foreign Direct Investment companies including Xerox, Heinz, ABB, National Pen, International Fund Services and Coca-Cola," she said.

Kenexa European Managing Director, Eric Lochner, said: "Dundalk is an ideal location, from which we'll be able to deliver a personal, local service to our customers in Ireland as well as allow us to scale our operations to better service our customers throughout Europe."

The Dundalk office is located at Regional Development Centre on Dublin Road.
