The Michigan-headquartered company Terumo Cardiovascular inaugurated its facilities in La Lima Free Zone in Cartago Province.
According to the firm, there was a total investment of $42 million to develop its manufacturing plant of medical devices for cardiac and vascular surgery. The company's new facilities are about 157,000 ft2, which includes 25,000 ft2 of clean rooms (production), warehouses, office space, a cafeteria, a doctor's office, and a lactation room, among others.
Costa Rica operations are home to the Perfusion Circuit Technology and Manufacturing Center becoming the first company to produce this line of medical equipment in the country.
Local operations employ approximately 245 associates today and are estimated to hire about 300 new employees in the production and administrative departments. People interested in a job vacancy should contact the firm by emailing tcvcr.reclutamiento@terumomedical.com
“Our focus is on the patient. By strengthening our global manufacturing footprint with our new plant in Costa Rica’s La Lima Free Zone, Terumo Cardiovascular is better positioned to serve our global customers and provide effective solutions for patient care – today and well into the future,” said Robert DeRyke, President and CEO of Terumo Cardiovascular.
The company, which is a subsidiary of Japan's Terumo Corporation, is backed by more than 100 years of group experience, as well as global operations that comprise more than 28,000 employees and a production system that includes 32 plants, with business in more than 160 countries and regions.
Terumo is one of many U.S. companies hiring in Costa Rica. Recently, the U.S. startup Hakkoda has opened job vacancies for working at its facilities located in Heredia Province.
