• The new facility will enable the packaging and distribution of innovative medicines from Costa Rica to the entire Latin American region.
• This strategic investment reinforces SteinCares’ commitment to sustainable growth and job opportunties for the region.

San Jose, Costa Rica – August 26, 2025 – In line with its purpose to create healthcare opportunities across Latin America, SteinCares today announced the opening of its new secondary packaging facility in Costa Rica. This strategic investment is a milestone for SteinCares’ regional consolidation and will support its expansion and portfolio growth.

Located in Cartago, Costa Rica—a key logistics hub for regional distribution—the new facility will enable SteinCares to centralize supply chain management and respond more efficiently to each country’s specific needs. The new site will also enable SteinCares to participate more competitively in public tender processes, generate significant savings for public health systems, and expand access to specialty healthcare in the private sector.

“This investment reaffirms our commitment to creating health opportunities for Latin America, transforming logistical challenges into service opportunities for both patients and health systems across the region,” said Mitchell Waserstein, SteinCares’ CEO.

The facility has been designed to comply with international quality and sustainability standards, and it has obtained ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and ISO 14001 certifications. SteinCares is implementing initiatives to achieve carbon-neutral certification for its logistics fleet, which highlights the company’s commitment to the environment.

Beyond its strategic importance for the company, the new facility represents a tangible opportunity for economic and professional development in Costa Rica. The country was chosen for its stability, highly skilled workforce, and leadership in the regional pharmaceutical industry.

The investment enables a shift towards a more efficient distribution model, which in turn allows better access to innovative healthcare in markets that previously did not meet the minimum volume requirements of our global partners. This approach not only strengthens relationships with strategic licensors but also enhances SteinCares’ capacity to grow in the private market by ensuring faster, more reliable access to specialty care treatments.
By centralizing packaging and distribution in Costa Rica, SteinCares takes a decisive step toward a more agile model, improving supply chain efficiency and expanding access to high-quality treatments throughout the region.
