From this location, MeKo\u00ae aims to strengthen its specialized medical manufacturing capabilities in medical components made from nitinol\u2014a biocompatible alloy of nickel and titanium\u2014, joining an ecosystem that already hosts over 90 multinational companies in the medical technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kai Leymann, President of MeKo\u00ae MedTech S.A., expert in nitinol and medical device manufacturing, will lead the new operation. Regarding the expansion, he commented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cMeKo\u00ae has a strong culture of innovation and development. I\u2019m excited to bring that spirit to a new facility in a country known for its warm and welcoming culture. We already feel how Costa Rica\u2019s energy and enthusiasm enrich our company\u2019s strengths with a healthy dose of \u2018Pura Vida\u2019 spirit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Manuel Tovar, Minister of Foreign Trade, MeKo&#8217;s<strong>\u00ae <\/strong>decision reinforces Costa Rica\u2019s position as a global leader in the medical technology industry. As the Minister stated, \u201cThe medical device sector, declared of public and national interest, accounts for more than 40% of the country\u2019s exports and generates quality employment for over 58,000 people. MeKo&#8217;s<strong>\u00ae <\/strong>expansion validates the strength of Costa Rica\u2019s ecosystem, which combines highly skilled talent with an institutional framework that fosters innovation, sustainability, and investment in healthcare\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a 1,400-square-meter facility, the company will contribute to local economic growth by creating high-quality jobs and fostering the transfer of specialized technical knowledge. MeKo\u00ae aligns with Costa Rica\u2019s dedication to renewable energy, leveraging the country\u2019s, on average, 97% clean energy supply to support environmentally responsible manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Laura L\u00f3pez, CEO of Costa Rica\u2019s Trade &amp; Investment Promotion Agency (PROCOMER), this investment reaffirms the country\u2019s positioning as a strategic partner for companies in the sector:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPROCOMER is proud to support investments such as MeKo&#8217;s\u00ae, which generate knowledge transfer, quality jobs, and demonstrate a business commitment to sustainability and excellence. The arrival of MeKo\u00ae in Costa Rica, whose capital is from Germany, represents an important step forward in our strategy to diversify the origin of investments. Furthermore, it consolidates Costa Rica&#8217;s position as a regional leader in medical device manufacturing, thanks to the strength of our productive ecosystem, the quality of our human talent, and the competitive conditions we offer investors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For MeKo\u2019s<strong>\u00ae<\/strong> clients across America, the new facility brings significant advantages. Being located in the Metro Free Zone &amp; Business Park allows the company to optimize logistics, reduce lead times, and benefit from Costa Rica\u2019s favorable trade agreements. The free-trade zone framework provides duty-free access for production, enabling a more efficient and streamlined operation while maintaining the high-quality standards that define the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About MeKo\u00ae MedTech<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1991 with over 400 employees, MeKo\u00ae MedTech is a part of MeKo\u00ae Manufacturing e.K.
