GW Plastics Corporation has opened a new medical manufacturing facility in Cartago, Costa Rica. The new facility marks the establishment of GW Plastics Catargo, a joint venture with Catargo-headquartered Corprosemm Corporation. The facility is located in the Cartago-Techno Park Free Trade Zone, about 16 miles southeast of San Jose.
“We are delighted to form a partnership with Corprosemm and are committed to meeting the global outsourcing needs of our healthcare customers,” said Brenan Riehl, GW Plastics president and CEO. “A manufacturing location in Costa Rica will allow us to more effectively support our customers in Latin America.”
Production will begin this summer at the 10,000-square-foot injection molding and ISO Class 8 clean room assembly facility owned by Corprosemm Corporation. Early next year, production will expand to the new 33,000-square-foot facility that currently is under construction—the new space will be capable of expanding to 44,000 square feet, depending on business needs.
“Our experience acquired during many years in the healthcare industry will support GW Plastics’ decision to enhance its global presence with this manufacturing operation. We are absolutely confident in the success of this business partnership,” said Magin Mora, one of the founders of Corprosemm.
GW Plastics’ corporate headquarters is in Bethel, Vt.
