Contract manufacturer Micro today announced plans to open a new plant in Costa Rica.

The 32,000 ft² facility will significantly increase Micro’s cleanroom assembly capacity, according to the Somerset, N.J.-based company. It will be located in the Zona Franca Metro business park and is expected to open in late 2021 with operations beginning in 2022.

“As the medical device industry continues to outsource manufacturing while consolidating supply chains, our customers require full-service contract manufacturers who can support everything from product and process development to component manufacturing and finished device assembly,” said Micro president Brian Semcer in a news release.

The company also has three manufacturing plants in New Jersey.
