The company reported that by 2020 will close its Financial Shared Service Center in Costa Rica, as part of a corporate strategy focused on fewer centers, but larger.
"While we will close this center, Amway remains committed to the Costa Rican market and will continue to provide support to our businessmen and customers, our commercial operations in Costa Rica will continue normally," states a company statement.
The direct sales company invested $2 million to open a service center.
The first shared service center for the Americas will provide financial and accounting services for the region and in its first two years of operation will generate 160 direct jobs.
"This is the company's first venture into the shared services market and with near-shoring outsourcing", reported newspaper La Prensa Libre.
Direct marketing giant Amway is planning an operations center in Costa Rica.
Michigan newspaper "The Grand Rapids Press" obtained a confidential memo from the company to its employees. In it, the organization communicates that it is planning an "enterprise process center" in Costa Rica. This center would consolidate financial operations and processes for the entire Americas region.
