Ahead of the April 20 meeting, Cathaoirleach of the Limerick Metropolitan District, Cllr Daniel Butler, presented the scroll to Brendan O’Dowd, Managing Director of Precision Technology and Limerick Site Lead at ADI. This took place at the ADI Catalyst building, a state-of-the-art innovation and collaboration hub that opened in 2022 following a significant investment by the company.
The scroll acknowledges ADI’s long-standing contribution to the Midwest, with the text:
“In recognition of their 50 years in Limerick and their significant contribution to employment, innovation and investment in the region”
Cathaoirleach of the Limerick Metropolitan District, Cllr Daniel Butler, said:

ADI has been a cornerstone of employment, innovation and economic development in the region, and its continued investment, including in the Catalyst building, demonstrates a strong and ongoing commitment to Limerick’s future.
“On behalf of the Metropolitan District Councillors, I would also like to sincerely thank ADI for hosting our April meeting. The opportunity to hold our meeting in such a modern, innovative space was greatly appreciated and reflects the strong relationship between the Council and key employers in our region.”
Brendan O’ Dowd, Managing Director of Precision Technology and Limerick Site Lead at ADI, said:
“Celebrating 50 years in Limerick is a proud moment for ADI and for everyone who has been part of our journey here. What began as a small operation has grown to be one of our strategic centers globally and our European regional headquarters. This growth reflects the talent, commitment and support of our people and the wider community, contributing significantly to our global operations.
“We are honoured to receive this recognition from the Metropolitan District Councillors. The strong relationship between ADI and Limerick has been central to our journey over the past five decades, and we look forward to building that partnership into the future.”
