Costa Rica’s Minister of Foreign Trade, Alexander Mora, is pleased with the announcement, thanking PCCI for its confidence in developing this new operation in the country. Mora said, “The announcement of Precision Coating’s new operation is highly relevant to the life sciences ecosystem and the medical device sub-ecosystem; it incorporates a new specialist supplier with great potential to complement the capabilities and functions of other related businesses. Its operation will complement and strengthen these ecosystems with new, sophisticated, and highly technical features. The investment, on its own merits, also brings more job opportunities for Costa Ricans within this company and in this sector. We are honored that they have selected Costa Rica as their site of choice to establish their operations. We wish them success in their business.”
Precision Coating opening plant in Costa Rica
Precision Coating (PCCI) will establish its first manufacturing operation outside the United States with a new 14,000 square foot plant in Costa Rica. The new plant will be located in El Coyol, Alajuela, and up and running by the end of July.
PCCI president Robert DeAngelis announced, “Costa Rica presented the best combination of operating cost, workforce talent, and logistical advantages as we considered our options to establish a low-cost manufacturing facility for our rapidly growing company.”
According to the company, Costa Rica has become a regional hub for medical device, biotech, and health care companies with an increasing amount of medical device products being produced there.
This new plant will allow Precision Coating to run highly automated processes and will result in approximately 30 Costa Rican jobs. The new plant will produce fluoropolymer coatings that are used in the medical device field.
The company has already begun hiring for the new plant, for which it will require engineers and technicians specialized in chemistry and basic manufacturing assembly. Interested parties can send their resumes to: Jobs.CostaRica@precisioncoating.com.
