Strengthening Supply Chains in Central America
From warehousing to compliance expertise, Formerra helps manufacturers in healthcare and other heavily regulated industries across Central America accelerate their lead times, secure inventory, and navigate regional logistics.
Centrally Located, Compliance-Ready Materials
Formerra’s Central America facilities — strategically located in Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic — provide manufacturers in compliance-sensitive industries with regional access to high-quality, specification-grade materials for faster fulfillment and greater operational flexibility.
Our bonded and non-bonded warehousing solutions help to simplify import/export logistics and offer secure, controlled storage for certified polymers. With full traceability and documentation, U.S.-based OEMs and other manufacturers operating in the region can trust that materials meet strict regulatory standards from entry to delivery.
Regional Access in Action: How a Sixty-Day Lead Time Became Four
A major healthcare device manufacturer faced the fortunate challenge of rapidly increasing demand; however, they would need to improve working capital and expand inventory capacity to keep up. Sourcing the raw materials from five different U.S. locations would result in lead times of over sixty days, without accounting for possible weather delays. Formerra stepped in to assist. By leveraging our Costa Rica facility, supply chain resiliency analysis, and local sales and technical support, the manufacturer was able to reduce its lead times from sixty days to just four, free significant warehouse space, and improve production flexibility.
