By Alajuela, Costa Rica — Mexican manufacturing company Grupo Modumex® has announced its plans to establish a new manufacturing plant in Grecia, Alajuela, Costa Rica. The facility will focus on the production of solutions for sanitary and commercial spaces, including sanitary partitions, high-traffic doors, facades, coverings, and other accessories. This strategic move is part of Modumex’s regional expansion strategy in Central America, leveraging Costa Rica’s competitive and sustainable business environment.
The new plant, operated under the name Modumex Mamparas Sanitarias Finas, S.A. de C.V., is expected to begin operations in the last quarter of 2025. It will specialize in the transformation of compact laminate, catering to institutional, commercial, and corporate sectors. This investment underscores Costa Rica’s continued attractiveness for foreign companies seeking growth opportunities.

Foreign investment in Costa Rica offers diverse opportunities, from real estate and tourism to technology and sustainable development. However, navigating the legal landscape requires careful due diligence. Understanding property rights, corporate structures, and tax implications is crucial for successful ventures. Investors should seek expert legal counsel to ensure compliance and maximize their investment’s potential.

The decision of Grupo Modumex® to establish a plant in Costa Rica demonstrates that the country continues to be a strategic hub for companies looking to grow. Our combination of legal security, preferential access to international markets, competitive infrastructure, and highly qualified human talent continues to attract high-value investments. From the Ministry of Foreign Trade, we celebrate that this new plant is located outside the Greater Metropolitan Area, as investment is a tool to promote more balanced territorial development, generate productive linkages, and enhance the capacities of regions with high growth potential.
Manuel Tovar, Minister of Foreign Trade
The location of the plant in Grecia, outside the Greater Metropolitan Area, highlights a trend of companies investing in regions beyond the capital, San José. This decentralized approach contributes to more balanced regional development and stimulates local economies.
More and more companies are choosing to establish operations outside the Greater Metropolitan Area, and that is no coincidence. The arrival of Grupo Modumex® in Grecia reflects a real evolution of the sector: towards a dynamic industry, more integrated with the local environment and with a focus on solutions that respond to specific market needs. From PROCOMER, we promote this type of project that brings greater development to different areas of the country.
