Nelipak, a healthcare packaging solutions provider, has unveiled plans to build a new production site in Grecia, Alajuela, Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Having been active in Costa Rica since 2012, Nelipak has been providing thermoformed trays and die-cut mounting cards.<\/p>\n

The new facility is expected to commence operations by mid-2026, further supporting customer growth in the country and wider region.<\/p>\n

The upcoming site will comprise a 60,000ft\u00b2 Class A industrial building, constructed to Nelipak\u2019s specifications by Portafolio Inmobiliario.<\/p>\n

Portafolio Inmobiliario project director Roberto Arguello said: \u201cWe are pleased to welcome the multinational company to Costa Rica Green Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe start of their construction marks an important step in the consolidation of our project as an ideal ecosystem for leading global companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be part of Nelipak\u2019s growth in Costa Rica and to continue driving projects that combine innovation, sustainability, and world-class development.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new packaging production facility will be International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 13485-certified and will feature ISO-7-certified clean room manufacturing space to ensure high-quality production standards.<\/p>\n

Production capabilities at the new facility will include thin-gauge thermoforming for medical device trays and blisters, as well as heavy-gauge thermoforming for deep-draw tubs and trays.<\/p>\n

Additionally, die-cut pouch cards and inserts will be produced at the site.<\/p>\n

The facility will offer expanded warehousing space to support the local distribution of Nelipak\u2019s range of flexible healthcare packaging products.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the site is designed to allow for future expansion to meet increasing capacity and capability requirements.<\/p>\n

Nelipak CEO Pat Chambliss said: \u201cWe are excited to announce another major investment in our global operating footprint in order to support customers on a global, regional, and local basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cCosta Rica is a significant and growing hub for medical device manufacturing and this investment demonstrates our commitment to serve customers in the region with world-class local production.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Nelipak announced that it would invest<\/a> in sterile barrier medical packaging in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n
