Founded in 2007 in La Tabla, Santa Rita, Río Cuarto, Alajuela, Faustica is a family-owned Costa Rican company dedicated to the production and export of fresh tubers.
From modest beginnings in rented facilities, in 2011 Faustica acquired its own plant and began formal exports to the U.S.
Over the years, Faustica has maintained high quality standards, complying with FDA and food safety certifications.
Since 2023, Faustica has taken a firm step toward the future with its new frozen products plant, certified with Primus.
