By the A.M. Costa Rica staff Electroplast, a Costa Rican company that designs medical device components, will transfer its operations beginning in the second quarter of 2021 to La Ceiba Industrial Park, located in Orotina. The company will invest more than $9 million in remodeling, expanding its industrial warehouse, and transferring its operations, which will soon occupy a space of 8,000 square meters (86,000 ft2), said the Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency (CINDE).

"At Electroplast, we know that this effort reflects the promise we have made to our clients to pursue continuous improvements and, at the same time, it also allows us to offer new employment opportunities in the region," said Diego Vicente, General Manager of Electroplast. Companies located in free-trade zones represent transactions that are key to economic revitalization, as they generate employment, secure supply chains, and guarantee exports, specialists said. “In recent years, industrial parks have moved toward locations outside the GAM," said Bernal Rodríguez from AB Advisory. "This makes it possible for companies to take advantage of additional tax benefits offered by Costa Rica’s Free-Trade Zone Law. Additionally, and in this specific case, La Ceiba Industrial Park is located on Route 27, less than one hour to Juan Santamaría International Airport.” The Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM) includes cities englobed in the conurbation of San José such as Alajuela, Heredia and Cartago.
