Command Medical Products Expands to Costa Rica with IMATS Deal

Command Medical Products, a medical device contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has acquired Injection Moulding & Tooling Services S.A. (IMATS), a provider of injection molding and tooling services based in Costa Rica.

The transaction adds a third manufacturing site for the company in the medical device hub of Costa Rica. With IMATS’ injection molding and tooling expertise, Command now offers integrated services from component production through finished-device assembly, including tooling, injection molding, tube extrusion, RF welding, cleanroom assembly, and packaging.

IMATS operates from a 32,000-square-foot facility in Costa Rica’s Free Trade Zone. The company provides injection molding, pad printing, assembly, and packaging as well as comprehensive injection mold tooling design, manufacturing, and validation services. The facility has significant available capacity, with the ability to more than double its current production volumes.
