Thinking about investing in Costa Rica?  You're not alone.  American manufacturing giant Procter & Gamble (P&G) announced on Feb 4, 2013 that it will open a new supply-chain planning facility in Costa Rica.  The Procter & Gamble Costa Rica facility will service P&G's entire Latin American operation and will consolidate the supply-chain planning of 25 company operations.  

The new facility means a Costa Rica investment of $5-6 million US Dollars and the creation of 500 new jobs for engineers, business administrators and logistics and customs specialists.

P&G has operated in Costa Rica since 1999 and chose the country again after evaluating several other options.
