Boston Scientific Galway is not only the company’s largest facility in Ireland, it is also the largest manufacturing facility in Boston Scientific’s global plant network.

The Galway site serves the company’s cardiovascular group, manufacturing key product lines that include drug-eluting stents, biliary stents, and catheters. In Galway, more than 3 million life-saving devices are manufactured each year.

Boston Scientific came to Proactive Design & Marketing with a 300-page Crisis Management Plan, which contained detailed operational information about the company’s crisis management processes and procedures. Management wanted to work with a creative design agency to best present this large amount of information in a digestible format for staff. The result was a visually pleasing and simplified format that included the graphic design and layout of an A4 slip folder, which contained 5 tabbed brochures complete with icons and illustrations. Feedback was extremely positive and the new manual received a ‘best in class’ commendation as part of a corporate H&S audit.
