VICTOR, N.Y., June 18, 2015 - (ACN Newswire) - Yesterday, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto welcomed Rob Sands, president and chief executive officer of Constellation Brands, to his official residence, Los Pinos, and discussed the significant investments the company is making. Last year, Constellation announced that it planned to invest approximately $2 billion to increase the Nava brewery's production capacity, and expand the glass plant, also located in Nava.
During a press conference in Mexico City yesterday, Sands reinforced the company's commitment to growth in Mexico, and shared that the expansion projects at the Nava brewery and glass production facility are well underway. "Constellation Brands is proud to be in Mexico, and we are here to stay," said Sands. "Our commitment and investments in our Mexican beer portfolio have resulted in record-breaking growth and accelerated U.S. consumer demand that is far ahead of market trends. We are thrilled about the investments we are making in Mexico because we believe Mexican high-end beer will continue to grow and be a leading beer segment in the U.S. for years to come."
When the expansions are complete, Constellation Brands expects that approximately 2,500 people will be employed at the brewery, glass plant and Mexico City office locations.
President Pena Nieto expressed his gratitude during the event. "Thank you for trusting Mexico, thank you for believing in Mexico. We wish the company great success and will support your business plans as you continue to grow."
Also present during the day's events were Mr. Luis Videgaray, Secretary of Finance; Mr. Ildefonso Guajardo, Secretary of the Economy; Mr. Enrique Martinez, Secretary of Agriculture; Mr. Ruben Moreira, Governor of the State of Coahuila, and Mr. Anthony Wayne, Ambassador of the U.S. in Mexico as well as representatives of the Mexican Government.
