Coloplast has acquired a lush area of 100,000 square meters in Costa Rica, designated for two new large factories, around 20,000 square meters each. The Danish medtech company has injected around half a billion kroner (USD 76.2m) into the project so far, but tax payments in the country are nonetheless kept a secret | Photo: Coloplast/PR
