Overview

  • Two additional lines will boost output of non‑carbonated beverages, including juices and nectars, at the Lagos de Moreno facility.
  • The company projects about 700 direct jobs once the new capacity is fully operational.
  • Governor Pablo Lemus Navarro, municipal president Édgar González Chávez, and representatives from the Economy Ministry and CONAGUA attended the ceremony with company leaders.
  • IMCC cites a national footprint of 73 factories, including recycling units IMER and PetStar, supporting more than 106,000 formal jobs and nearly 2% of Mexico’s GDP.
  • The announcement follows a $133 million investment at the site two years ago that lifted raw‑milk production capacity by about 30%.
