November 11, 2026
New facility will support global business growth and strengthen Hologic’s presence in Costa Rica
Alajuela, Costa Rica — Hologic, Inc., a global leader in women’s health, today announced a significant investment in its Costa Rica operations with the addition of a new facility dedicated to its Breast and Skeletal Health Solutions business unit.
The new building will be located approximately 2 kilometers from Hologic’s current Costa Rica site in Alajuela. Once construction is complete, Hologic’s Breast and Skeletal Health Solutions employees and assets in Costa Rica will move to the new facility. The company’s GYN Surgical Solutions business will remain in a dedicated facility at the current location. Hologic’s Shared Services employees who are based in Costa Rica will also continue to work from the current location.
Hologic plans to begin construction of the new building in March 2027, and the company expects the facility to be completed by December 2028.
“This expansion reflects our confidence in Costa Rica as an important part of Hologic’s global operations and in the teams who have helped build our strong presence here,” said Joe Almeida, CEO, Hologic, Inc. “The additional capacity will support our continued growth and provide our global business units with dedicated space to focus on their respective priorities and better serve the patients and customers who count on us.”
The investment builds on Hologic’s presence in Costa Rica, addresses the company’s growing capacity needs, and underscores its commitment to operational excellence, business growth and long-term opportunity in Costa Rica.
“This investment is a strong recognition of the talent, commitment and momentum of our Costa Rica teams,” Almeida added. “We are excited about what this means for the future of our Costa Rica operations and for Hologic.”
“Hologic’s decision to expand in Costa Rica speaks to the strength of the country’s medical device ecosystem. This investment will build on the capabilities already established here and create new opportunities for Costa Rican talent and local suppliers to contribute to an increasingly specialized industry,” said Laura López, CEO of the Trade & Investmente Promotion Agency of Costa Rica (PROCOMER). “As companies like Hologic continue to grow in Costa Rica, they strengthen the country’s role as a trusted partner in advancing innovation and developing healthcare solutions.”
Additional details on construction timing and transition plans will be shared as they are finalized.
