Ritrama opens facilities in Costa Rica and Guatemala

Ritrama has opened slitting and logistics centers in Costa Rica and Guatemala to serve the Central American market. The company had been represented in the region by DigiFlexo. 

‘This investment is a sign of our attention to this market, which will benefit from shorter delivery times and a wider range of products from our production sites in Europe and Chile,’ said the company in a statement. ‘The strategic locations in Guatemala and Costa Rica also allow us to give a better and faster service in El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.’  

The facility in Costa Rica hosts a warehouse and slitting system in Belén in the Heredia province. The Guatemala site is located in the country’s capital, Ciudad de Guatemala, and will have slitting capability by the end of the year.  

Both centers are managed by Olga Lucia Botero, said to have vast knowledge of self-adhesive materials after 16 years of experience in Colombia and six years in Central America.  

Italian company Ritrama also serves the Latin American market through existing operations in Mexico and Chile.
