Advanced manufacturing
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008The decision to set up plants in Costa Rica made by companies such as Deshler (auto devices) and Microcell (mobile phone assembly and repair) promoted the image of this Central American nation as an ideal site for high-technology manufacturing. This also led to the establishment of an organization to attract foreign investment in the advanced manufacture sector, meaning auto, electronic, air and space, and aeronautics industries. So far, the efforts had been focused on the service, medical supply, and electronics industries, sources of the Costa Rican Coalition of Development Initiatives (CINDE in Spanish) and the Foreign Trade Promoter said.
