Baxter will move its Latin American financial operations to Costa Rica
Baxter, a company dedicated to the manufacture of medical devices, announced it will move to Costa Rica its financial operations now located in different Latin America countries.
This was announced by Carlos Alonso, president of the company for the region. Alonso said Baxter began this year with the reorganization transferring the management of suppliers expenses from their operation in Puerto Rico. By 2010, the company based in Illinois, United States, will do the same with financial operations in Argentina, Chile and Colombia, and the 2011 Mexico and Brazil.
These movements will generate more jobs, but Alonso did not offer details on the numbers.
“For Baxter, Costa Rica is very important because of the quality of its workforce, its stability and its proximity to the U.S., both geographically and culturally” he said.
He added: “In the Latin American context, Costa Rica is way ahead and that is visible to the company. Costa Ricans should be proud and continue working in that direction”.
In Costa Rica, the company -who arrived in 1988- has 1,450 employees, of whom about 140 are devoted to financial and accounting transactions of the company, not only here in the region but also in the U.S.
