SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA – Zollner Elektronik will invest a reported $10 million to open a manufacturing plant here, according to local news reports. The German EMS company will greenfield a site, and will eventually employ some 200 workers within the next three years.

Zollner will offer SMT assembly, engineering services, research and development and support at the new location. While the printed circuit board assembler has 16 sites around the world, this would be its first in Latin America.

Costa Rica Foreign Trade Minister Anabel González said Zollner's investment is a “clear example of the diversification of the origins of direct foreign investment that Costa Rica has been able to attract.”
