Expansion will add sterile DuPont™ Tyvek® medical packaging capabilities and expand our medical tubing operation in Costa Rica.

Expansion Operational in 2024

Spectrum Plastics Group, a DuPont Business, (“Spectrum”), a global solutions provider for development through scaled manufacturing of critical polymer-based components and devices for medical and other demanding markets, has just announced the expansion of its Costa Rica manufacturing site.

From its manufacturing facility in Heredia, Costa Rica, Spectrum provides its Latin American customers with medical packaging tubing, and assemblies.
