Recognition
Owen Moore, Head of Astellas Tralee Plant, has been named BioPharma & LifeSciences Connected Person of the Month for September 2026.
The recognition acknowledges Owen’s leadership in the development of Astellas’ new biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility at Kerry Technology Park in Tralee and the contribution of the team he has built around the project.
Owen has led the Tralee operation through the development of the greenfield site while simultaneously building the team that will bring the facility into operation.
The award follows Astellas Ireland Co. Ltd’s announcement of a further expansion of the Tralee facility, including a second aseptic filling line and associated manufacturing infrastructure.
The expansion will double drug product manufacturing capacity at the Tralee facility and create additional highly skilled roles across engineering, production, quality, logistics and support functions by 2029.
Owen will join the other 2026 Person of the Month recipients at the BioPharma & LifeSciences Connected Awards at the Radisson Blu, Little Island, Cork on 28th January 2027.
