announced that it is extending the reach of its Ingram Micro
Mobility services and solutions capabilities with the opening of a

solutions facility in Costa Rica is an excellent addition to Ingram
Micro Mobility's capabilities to meet the needs of our global
customers," said Christopher Newell, vice president Global Reverse
