Firestone Industrial Products Company LLC (FSIP) will open a new air spring manufacturing plant in Turrialba, Costa Rica.
The facility, to be located between San Jose and the port of Limon, is expected to initially employ approximately 100 people.
“As the emerging markets for air springs develop and grow internationally, Firestone continues to expand its global footprint,” said Mike Cerio, president of FSIP. “Costa Rica represents a new opportunity to better support these emerging international markets in a cost-effective manner.”
The company has signed a lease on the former Conair facility in Turrialba, and will initially occupy 11,500 square meters to manufacture air springs and Marsh Mellows springs. FSIP is currently awaiting government approval on the necessary permits it has filed in support of this new location.
