Sachs Chemical, Inc. chose Costa Rica to become its distribution center in Central America with an investment over US$2,7 billion.

Recognized as a leading chemical distributor serving the Puerto Rico and Caribbean markets, Sachs Chemical was founded in 1986, the company now has two operation plants of 8,400 square meters in Caguas and Carolina, in Puerto Rico. In Costa Rica, it currently has 4 collaborators working at the distribution center of 1,900 square meters located in The Green Park Free Zone, in Alajuela.

“We identified Costa Rica’s exponential growth in different industries, and we found that there was a great need that we can satisfy, by providing value added to companies within the Free Zones, thanks to our different services and high-quality products,” explained Fernando Ortega, Sachs Chemical’s President.

Jorge Sequeira, Managing Director at the Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency (CINDE), said: “Sachs Chemical’s presence in Costa Rica promotes a more efficient supply chain by reducing costs and delivery time of the chemical products. This strengthens the medical device manufacturing, which is the main exports sector of the country. Last year, it represented 29% of Costa Rica’s goods exports with US$3,247 billion sales. This was 19% above 2017’s.”

The company plans to hire more personnel for the center and customer service during this and the following year. Those interested in applying can send an email to: [email protected]
