Investment in New Paint Plant Announced

In Costa Rica Grupo Sur plans to invest between $60 million and $70 million in the construction and equipping of a new paint production center in El Coyol, Alajuela.

Monday, March 27, 2017

The construction of the new facilities by the company will take place in an area measuring 150 thousand square meters which Grupo Sur possesses in the industrial zone of El Coyol in Alajuela. 

Company president, Enrico Giordano, told Nacion.com that "...The transfer of operations of this company will be made within five to eight years, in view of the difficulties involved in mobilizing some areas and specialized equipment."

Giordano added that "... the transfer of a paint plant is a complicated process. In the case of El Coyol, he explained, the problem was that for rainwater pipes and earthworks alone, they had to invest about $5 million."
