Vision Engineering Costa Rica microscope and metrology showroom

Vision Engineering Opens Technology Showroom in Coyol Free Zone, Costa Rica

Vision Engineering, Global designers and manufacturers of high-quality patented digital and optical inspection and measurement systems, opens a new showroom in Costa Rica’s Coyol Free Zone, known as the medical device hub, home to the top life sciences and advanced manufacturing companies in the world.

Richard Nagel, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Vision Engineering comments:

“We chose the Coyol Free Zone for the new Vision Engineering showroom as validation of our commitment to the many medical device manufacturers we supply systems to, who have manufacturing facilities at this location. The showroom will serve as a place where customers can demo new systems or receive training on systems they already have”.

Located at Centro Coyol Innovación y Servicios, 50 mts Sur de Riteve, Coyol, Alajuela, the premises provides approximately 1000SF of space and is fully equipped with Vision Engineering’s latest immersive, optical and digital systems, including the newly launched Deep Reality Viewer (DRV) microscope, the world’s first ultra-high definition glasses-free 3D stereo viewing system.

Historically, Costa Rica was known for its agricultural exports. In 2017, medical devices export surpassed agricultural products. The showroom opening coincides with the rising success of OEMs establishing facilities in Costa Rica, with medical device manufacturing leading the way.

The big attraction to medical device manufacturers establishing facilities in Costa Rica are the benefits from the tax laws implemented in the economic free zones. Medical device manufacturing companies located in a free zone are exempt from income tax for the first eight years. After this time companies are eligible to receive a reduced rate of tax.

In addition to supplying medical device OEMs, Vision Engineering products are used globally in electronics, aerospace, plastic and metal manufacturing.

Coyol Free Zone is ideally located, only 5 miles from Juan Santamarίa International airport and close proximity to Cladera Port.
