Foxit Software, a provider of innovative PDF and e-signature products and services, has opened a new European Hub at Stephen’s Green in Dublin, with plans to expand its local headcount.

Founded in 2001 in Fujian, China and headquartered in Fremont, California, Foxit’s mission is to develop market leading and innovative PDF products and services, helping knowledge workers to increase their productivity. This strategic move to a new Dublin office represents Foxit’s continued expansion into Europe, following significant growth in both Europe and Ireland over the past few years. 

Foxit currently employs 25 people in Ireland, which includes a rapidly growing R&D incubation team concentrating on new products and has plans for further investment to invest in this activity over the coming years. 

The company first started operating remotely in Ireland in 2021 and is now relocating to the Greenway, Stephen’s Green. The Dublin office will contribute to Foxit’s R&D capabilities globally. Its Irish operation is led by Susana De Abrew, Foxit’s chief strategy officer. 

“Given the large number of tech companies that have already established themselves in Ireland, it made perfect sense for us to open one of our European Hubs in Dublin,” said De Abrew. “The region boasts incredible talent, exceptional IDA support, and provides an excellent gateway to Europe. We are thrilled with the growth opportunities that this move presents, and we remain committed to investing in the region.”

Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Simon Coveney joined the staff and senior leadership of Foxit to celebrate the official opening of their new office in Dublin.

“The news that Foxit is to establish one of its European Hubs in Dublin is very welcome. Since 2001, Foxit has provided secure PDF solutions software which enable people and organisations across the world to reduce costs and drive efficiencies,” said Coveney. “With twenty-five people currently employed in Ireland, the company has witnessed remarkable growth over the last number of years, and I wish them every continued success as they develop their business in Ireland and across Europe.’’
