Intel expands Costa Rica operations

On the heels of last year’s closure of chip manufacturer Intel‘s assembly plant in Costa Rica, the company announced Monday that it’s opening a new Client Computing Group (CCG) in Costa Rica. The new unit will be responsible mostly for developing tablets and PCs.

Intel is waiting to disclose details until the official announcement Tuesday. But the company already confirmed that the new department will employ Costa Rican engineers who will work “in coordination with Intel teams worldwide to develop new technological devices to be launched in coming years.”
