SMC Ltd., a medical device contract manufacturer based in Somerset, Wis., is expanding its operations in Latin America.
The company, which also has operations in California, Massachusetts, Ohio and India, is moving its Costa Rica facility to a larger site, with company officials citing increased demand as the reason for the move. The facility will move to a new location within the Coyol Business park in Alajuela, Costa Rica. The move will double the company's manufacturing space and offer an additional 32,291 square feet for future growth.
The new building provides an increased assembly area, giving the firm's global customers more options in manufacturing, according to company officials.
“We have been fortunate to see a lot of growth over the last year and as a result, we have out grown our current facility. The new facility will not only double our manufacturing space, but allow us to provide additional services to our global customers,” said Jason Larocco SMC's Costa Rica facility manager.

The company’s medical operations offer ISO 13485 quality systems, white room, class 7 and 8 clean rooms with services including: design, engineering, project management, and validation.
