By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

Germany-based Bayer, a global company focused on bio-health sciences and nutrition, announced an expansion of its facilities in Alajuela Province.

“As a company, we appreciate enormously the availability of technically skilled talent, the solid cooperation between the business community and public sector, and the demonstrated leadership in environmental sustainability,” Christian A. Meyer, company president said.

The firm celebrates more than 40 years in Costa Rica, with offices in Escazú, Heredia and its Shared Services Center in Alajuela.

The company also promotes research and development of agricultural solutions on two properties: one in Limón for fruit trees, and another in Guanacaste for cottonseed production.


Bayer registered 600 employees in 2020. The new building in Alajuela will be used for company health resources, and pharmaceutical products due to the expansion of chronic diseases.

In the fiscal year 2019, the company reported 104,000 employees, invoiced 43.5 billion euros, invested 2.9 billion euros, and allocated 5.3 billion euros to research and development.
