Establishment Labs Holdings Inc., a Costa Rican medical technology company, opens 1000 new jobs at its new facilities in Coyol Free Zone, Alajuela Province. According to the firm, when complete, the new facilities will total approximately 145,000 square feet (13,500 square meters) and will support the company’s continued global growth with additional capacity and capabilities in manufacturing, R&D, digital media, training, and medical education. “The groundbreaking on our Sulàyöm Innovation Campus is a critical next step in our growth, as Motiva Implants continue to gain recognition as a new standard in breast aesthetics,” Juan José Chacón-Quirós, CEO and Founder of Establishment Labs said. The name Sulàyöm comes from Bribri, an indigenous Costa Rican language, and is translated to mean, ‘The place in the mountains at the center of the world.’ Over the next several years, this new facility will give the manufacturing capacity to support planned global growth, especially in the U.S. and China when it comes to invasive breast aesthetics and breast reconstruction, the firm said. Once fully operational, according to the company, the new plant will expand the company's annual production capacity from the 700,000 implants currently in production to more than 1,900,000 Motiva implants per year. The new campus will be completed in two phases. The first one is expected to cost approximately $35 million, and the company intends to finance with a local credit partner. The construction is anticipated to begin in the second half of 2021, following the finalization and execution of certain contractual arrangements. People interested to apply for a job vacancy should visit the company Careers site. Establishment Labs is the fourth large company searching for employees this month. Recently, the Paris-based company, Teleperformance, announced 700 open vacancies due to business expansion in Costa Rica. Also, the San Francisco-headquartered company, Mismo, announced its expansion in Costa Rica with the hiring of more than 40 software engineers this year. The Arizona-based company, Confluent Medical Technologies, is now expanding their manufacturing facilities in the country to attend to their customer demand for specialized medical devices. According to the Ministry of Foreing Trade, Costa Rica exports twice as many services as the average for OECD countries. Just the previous year an accumulated 81,371 jobs were generated in this sector. The knowledge-based services sector reached $5 billion in 2020. There is an average annual growth of 17% in the last two decades. This development is reflected in a wide portfolio of more than 75 corporate processes that are carried out from Costa Rica to the world, according to the Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency, CINDE. However, despite the extraordinary numbers released by the authorities, the National Employment Survey shows an unemployment rate of 17.3%, meaning there are more than 422,000 people without registered jobs in the country from February to April 2021. -------------------- What have you heard of expats looking for a job in Costa Rica?
