Pura Vida: Norwood to Showcase MIM Capabilities at MPO Medtech Forum in Costa Rica

Events
April 9, 2025

We’re packing our sunglasses and heading to beautiful Costa Rica for the MPO Medtech Forum, April 24-25. We’re delighted to make our debut at this event, where we’ll highlight our expertise in precision-machined components; in particular, our metal injection molding (MIM) capabilities.

This second annual networking and educational event will bring Costa Rican experts together with U.S.-based industry thought leaders—including OEMs, contract manufacturers, suppliers, consultants, investors, and academics—to discuss critical medtech topics and offer tools to compete and grow in today’s challenging business environment.

“We’re proud to be a Silver Sponsor of this meeting to support the vibrant medtech community in Costa Rica,” said Gregg Olson, Vice President of Sales. “This is a great opportunity to demonstrate that we have the capabilities and capacity to meet the manufacturing needs of OEMs in Costa Rica.” Before the meeting, Olson and CEO Jeremiah Allen will visit customers in the area.

“Pura vida” is Costa Rica’s unofficial but ubiquitous motto. While the English translation is “pure life,” its meaning is closer to “full of life” or a sense of wellbeing. “’Pura vida’ aligns well with Norwood’s mission of developing innovative devices that make a difference in patients’ lives,” Olson said. “We’re excited to be part of the conversation at this event and look forward to meeting customers and colleagues from Costa Rica and beyond.”
