One of Mexico's leading glass industry entrepreneurs was recently named as the 41st recipient of the prestigious Phoenix Award. Juan Rafael Silva Garcia joins a distinguished list of people to be recognised by The Phoenix Award Committee for their contributions to glass and the glass industry. A founder partner and current CEO of FEVISA Group, Mr Silva represents the definition of a true entrepreneur. Leading his company from humble beginnings in 1989, operating one furnace and an 8-section DG drum-driven machine trying to make wine bottles, FEVISA is now recognised as a major producer of glass containers. This has been achieved with good business sense, a strong faith in glass, and the adoption of the latest technologies available. Juan Silva's business success and commitment to glass as a packaging medium make him a worthy winner of this prestigious award.
