New Firestone Industrial
Products Facility in Costa Rica
Firestone Industrial Products
Company LLC (FSIP) will open a
new air spring manufacturing
plant in Turrialba, Costa Rica.
The facility, to be located
between San Jose and the port of
Limon, is expected to initially
employ approximately 100 people.
“As the emerging markets for air
springs develop and grow
internationally, Firestone
continues to expand its global
footprint,” said Mike Cerio,
president of FSIP. “Costa Rica
represents a new opportunity to
better support these emerging
international markets in a
cost-effective manner.”
The company has signed a lease
on the former Conair facility in
Turrialba, and will initially
occupy 11,500 square meters to
manufacture air springs and
Marsh Mellows springs. FSIP is
currently awaiting government
approval on the necessary
permits it has filed in support
of this new location. (Tire
