By Alajuela, Costa Rica — Mexican manufacturing company Modumex is investing in Costa Rica, establishing a new production facility in Grecia, Alajuela. The plant, slated to begin operations in the final quarter of 2025, signifies a strategic move for Modumex’s expansion within the Central American market.
The company specializes in designing and manufacturing solutions for privacy and comfort, particularly for bathroom and high-humidity environments. Their product line includes sanitary partitions, doors, lockers, coverings, and accessories, primarily crafted from compact laminate.
To gain a deeper understanding of the legal landscape surrounding Costa Rican manufacturing, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica.
Costa Rica’s manufacturing sector benefits significantly from the country’s Free Trade Zone regime. These zones offer numerous incentives, such as tax exemptions and streamlined import/export processes, making Costa Rica an attractive location for international companies looking to establish manufacturing operations. However, navigating the specific regulations and requirements for operating within these zones requires careful legal counsel to ensure compliance and maximize the available benefits.

Indeed, the Free Trade Zones offer a powerful engine for growth within Costa Rican manufacturing, but as Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas rightly points out, successfully leveraging these advantages requires diligent attention to the legal landscape. We thank Lic. Vargas for offering this valuable perspective on navigating the complexities of these zones and maximizing their potential for businesses contributing to Costa Rica’s dynamic manufacturing sector.
The Grecia facility will focus on transforming compact laminate into solutions for sanitary and commercial spaces, bolstering Modumex’s regional production capacity.
The opening of our new production plant in Costa Rica represents a key step in the expansion strategy of Grupo Modumex in Central America.

This investment reflects a broader trend of foreign companies recognizing Costa Rica’s stable political climate, skilled workforce, and strategic location within Central America. The new plant is expected to create job opportunities in the Grecia region and contribute to the local economy.
Modumex’s commitment to quality and innovation in its products has positioned them as a leader in their sector. This expansion into Costa Rica further solidifies their dedication to providing high-quality solutions for commercial and public spaces.
The move to Grecia is particularly advantageous given its central location within Costa Rica and access to transportation networks, facilitating distribution throughout the country and the wider Central American region.
This investment highlights Costa Rica’s continued appeal for international businesses looking to expand in Latin America. Modumex’s new manufacturing facility promises to be a significant contribution to the country’s growing industrial sector.
