Medical device contract manufacturer Tegra Medical is expanding its manufacturing operations in Costa Rica with the purchase of a new building.
The new building is located in the CF Free Zone in La Aurora de Heredia, Costa Rica, near many other life sciences businesses.
Tegra Medical’s new building is located near its two current buildings in the CF Free Zone in La Aurora de Heredia, Costa Rica, an area where many of the country’s life sciences businesses are located.
The 85,000-square-foot building will allow the company to consolidate its metals manufacturing footprint. This will enable it to expand cleanroom moulding and assembly operations in its nearby locations.
Sean Mikus, general manager of Tegra Medical in Costa Rica, said: “The new building and subsequent remodeling are part of a $13 million investment in our Costa Rica operations, qualifying it as a “mega-project” in the Costa Rican Free Zone system. The completion of this project will give us a total of 135,000 square feet of manufacturing space in this country.”
Walter Kobler, Tegra Medical CEO, added: “Tegra Medical is committed to its operations in Costa Rica. We appreciate the country’s great stability, highly educated workforce, proximity to U.S. markets, and efficient operations. It’s an attractive location to support the global requirements of major medical device manufacturers.”
