To serve Healthcare customers in the Caribbean and more broadly across the Americas, the Heredia operation has expanded by 16,000 square feet. The new space accommodates additional extrusion equipment and production lines, enabling production of sterile packaging leveraging Tyvek – such as pouches, header bags and lids – and increasing DuPont’s extruded tubing production capacity.

The new expansion is ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, with its technical, assembly and packaging staff adhering to the highest quality standards and protocols. To support current and new customers, the facility is operating on a 24/7 production schedule.

“With this expansion, we are now the first company in Costa Rica and the Caribbean to produce fluid management and sterile packaging offerings for the medical device industry,” said James Chambers, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Fluids & Flexibles at Spectrum Plastics Group, A DuPont Business. “This significantly enhances our robust, growing portfolio of unmatched offerings and capabilities as a trusted supply chain partner to leading global healthcare companies.”
