The new 100,000-square-foot laboratory located in Grecia,
Costa Rica doubles DDS Lab's
global capacity
TAMPA,
Fla., April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DDS
Lab (DDS), one of the largest full-service dental laboratories in
the world, today announced the commencement of operations out of
its new state-of-the-art, full-service dental laboratory based in
Grecia, Costa Rica. The
100,000-square-foot laboratory doubles the global manufacturing
footprint of DDS Lab. In recent years, DDS' unique business model
has driven organizational growth outpacing the market. DDS has
significantly invested in the expansion of its global fabrication
operations to ensure that it can continue to meet the needs of its
customers and the patients they serve.
"With fabrication locations now in Central America and Asia, along with our full-service facility in
Tampa, Florida, we have the
flexibility to utilize distributive manufacturing to execute a
seamless and interchangeable operation across global time zones,"
said Chuck DiNardo the CEO of DDS
Lab, "For DDS customers, this will ensure less idle turnaround
time. As one continent's business day ends, dental technicians on
another continent can pick design and other process steps up right
where they last ended."
Grecia, Costa Rica is
recognized as a technologically advanced life sciences operations
hub with a large, skilled pipeline of talent. The presence of DDS
Lab will bring added skilled labor opportunities to the region for
this highly technical and specialized trade. The company's vision
is to introduce up to 1,000 jobs to the region in the next five
years. The Costa Rica facility
will support DDS' first-in-class digital dental solution workflows,
a core competency of DDS. Jenny XJ Li, the Global Chief Operating
Officer for DDS has relocated to Grecia where she will focus on
transferring operational best practices and talent development
programs from DDS' ISO 13485 certified Shenzhen operations. "In Shenzhen and
Tampa, we have succeeded because
of our technologically enabled and fully integrated standardized
operations," said Li. "Our best-in-class employee development
program, which includes in-school apprenticeships, internships, and
on the job, training will bring the same operational excellence and
employee enrichment approach to Grecia. In doing so, we enhance the
quality and efficiency our customers have come to expect from day
one."
