Oxnard, CA — June 17, 2026 — MWS Wire Industries, a leading supplier of specialty wire products and value-added wire processing services, today announced plans to open a new manufacturing and processing facility in the Grecia area of Costa Rica. Operations are expected to begin in 2027.

The new facility will focus on the manufacturing and processing of specialty wire products for the medical device industry, with an emphasis on serving local medical device manufacturers in Costa Rica with tailored wire solutions, technical support, and value-added services.

MWS expects the Grecia-area facility to represent the first dedicated medical wire manufacturing presence in Costa Rica, positioning the company closer to customers operating within one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-growing medtech ecosystems.

“Costa Rica has become an important center for medical device innovation and manufacturing, and we are excited to establish a local presence that allows us to better serve customers in the region,” said Benjamin Konrad, President of MWS Wire Industries. “By being closer to our customers, we can support critical engineering decisions earlier, respond faster to technical requirements, and provide tailored specialty wire products that meet the high expectations of the medical device industry.”

The Costa Rica facility will expand MWS’s manufacturing footprint and strengthen the company’s ability to provide value-added capabilities for medical device customers. These services are expected to support a range of applications where precision, material performance, consistency, and responsiveness are essential.

“Our goal is not only to supply wire, but to be a technical partner to medical device companies developing and manufacturing advanced products in Costa Rica,” said Benjamin Konrad. “This sizable investment reflects our commitment to supporting local customers with specialty materials, custom processing, and responsive service close to where engineering and production decisions are being made.”

The new facility will also support MWS’s broader strategy of expanding its value-added service capabilities and building a stronger presence in key medical device manufacturing

regions. By locating in the Grecia area, MWS will be positioned near a growing base of medical technology companies, skilled talent, and advanced manufacturing infrastructure.
