Rosenbluth International, the second biggest travel management company in the world, is looking at sites in Tralee or Killarney for a major call centre operation with the former Klopman plant in Tralee and the Pretty Polly plant in Killarney possible locations. Should a project go-ahead it is likely to involve about 200 jobs.

Rosenbluth is thought to be the second biggest travel management companies in the world, after American Express, and had sales last year of around $3 billion. A call centre in Ireland would be aimed at servicing Rosenbluth's European customer base.
