HEREDIA, COSTA RICA -- Specialty Coating Systems has opened an 8,000-sq. ft. facility in Heredia, Costa Rica.

The company will make conformal coating at the plant, its tenth location worldwide.

The company called the site a natural choice as many international companies find attractive the country’s location, workforce and access to growing markets — including electronics and medical devices.
The facility will be managed by Max Montero.

In a press statement, chief operating officer Terry Bush said, “We are pleased to be able to expand to meet the needs of our current customers and position the company for future growth. SCS’s location in Costa Rica enables us to better serve our worldwide markets.”
