Mexican glass maker Vitro has signed a contract with Constellation brands to produce some 7,300/M beer bottles for export, with a sales value of US$ 950M. the contract will be in place over the next seven years and will triple the volume of Vitro's production for the beer market. As a result, the company will invest US$ 100M dollars for the construction of a new furnace at its Monterrey plant. "The new furnace will be built using our own technology, developed by Fabricacion de Maquinas, and will begin operations within 18 months. During that time, we will manufacture in Toluca and Queretaro to meet these new commitments; both sites will continue producing for Constellation brands once the new Monterrey furnace starts working," said Adrian Sada Cueva, Vitro CEO.
