Brian Highley, Cirtec CEO commented, "This is an exciting time for Cirtec. However our continued growth has created some real challenges with space. The new site and the addition of our Costa Rica facility are a necessary part of ensuring we have the capacity to support our customer's growth over the longer term."

Construction on the new facility is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2020, with completion targeted in the second half of the year.
