There are over 1200 businesses based in Offaly. A number of high-profile multinational companies with headquarters in the United States, Britain, Germany, France and Italy, such as Sennheiser (audio equipment and Zannini (packaging) have established operations in Offaly. There is a growing healthcare industry cluster that includes multinationals, as well as local companies. Offaly is part of the Border, Midlands and Western (BMW) region, which means, among other things that development agencies can provide higher levels of financial support than for other parts of the country.
