Heraeus Medevio Expands Its Manufacturing Footprint in Costa Rica
Heraeus Medevio recently celebrated the completion of its impressive new Center of Excellence in Costa Rica, a significant milestone that underscores the company’s commitment to innovation and growth in the medical technology space. Set in the La Lima Free Zone of Cartago, this expansive 118,400-square-foot facility represents a $35 million investment and the potential to create 500 new jobs for the local workforce.
Enhancing Medical Technology Through Strategic Expansion
The new facility features advanced capabilities including an ISO Class 7 clean room and an ISO Class 8 clean room, designed specifically to cater to high-precision manufacturing needs. Operations at the facility are slated to commence in July, and are expected to drive significant advancements in the production of electrophysiology sub-assemblies, catheters, guidewires, and more. These innovations not only bolster local economies but also enhance the ability of healthcare providers to deliver state-of-the-art medical devices efficiently.
Strategic Location Benefits for MedTech Growth
According to VP of Operations Anna Jansen, Costa Rica's renowned talent pool has been a critical element in the site’s expansion. The favorable location enables streamlined supply chains and fosters effective collaboration, essential elements for companies aiming to solve complex medical challenges.
Sustainable Practices Integrated into Expansion
Reflecting a commitment to environmental conservation, the construction project has been awarded an Ecological Blue Flag for its sustainability efforts and public health initiatives. This aligns with Heraeus Medevio's broader goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045, demonstrating their responsibility towards both business and the planet.
