Resonetics completed the expansion of its manufacturing facility in the Coyol Free Zone in Alajuela, Costa Rica.
The expansion doubles the size of the class 8 cleanroom for laser ablation and cutting of polymer components, and adds a full mezzanine to create space for laser welding and centerless grinding operations. With the expansion, Resonetics expects to double its number of employees over the next two years.
The site operates 24/7 and is focused on high volume component and sub-assembly production for export and for the local medical device industry. Resonetics notes that presently, eight of the top 30 life sciences companies worldwide have facilities in Costa Rica, including Medtronic and Smith+Nephew.
“We are pleased to invest further in our Costa Rica operation and to be located in the number one ranked free trade park in Latin America and the Caribbean,” said Tom Burns, Resonetics President & CEO. “This expansion allows us to offer more capabilities to local customers, as well as provide additional capacity to support the dramatic growth we are experiencing. The Costa Rica operation is a strategic component of Resonetics’ global manufacturing network with strong engineering resources, terrific productivity and excellent infrastructure for advanced manufacturing.”
