With more than 20 years of experience developing and managing industrial parks and 13 years since the beginning of this successful project, Coyol Free Zone does business in a sustainable way and in a privileged location.
It is the best option for the Life Sciences Cluster and advanced manufacturing companies in Latin America. Consistently awarded and recognized by multiple entities as the Top Free Zones in Latin America and The Caribbean, Coyol Free Zone offers much more than tax incentives and outstanding infrastructure. It also provides proven know-how in the construction of buildings for the Life Sciences Industry, and the services required to support the successful operation of a Life Sciences company in Costa Rica.
By developing a Life Sciences cluster with on-site suppliers and contractors, Coyol Free Zone (CFZ) provides the ideal conditions for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to operate. Strategic suppliers operate within CFZ and include services such as packaging, molding, extrusion, assembly, sterilization (ETO & EBeam), and logistics. The presence of on-site sterilization services and logistics companies allows for Medical Devices to be exported directly from Costa Rica to different destinations around the world. This means important savings in production, time, transportation, and warehousing.
