FAMA

IS MACHINE

FOR GRUPO MODELO

Grupo Modelo has ordered an IS machine from FAMA
for the Nueva Fábrica Nacional de Vidrio container
glass manufacturing facility, located at Mexico City.
The 10-section triple gob machine will be started-up in the
first week of April as part of a turnkey project, which will
see FAMA deliver, install and start-up the machine.
Jose Huerta, General Manager at Grupo Modelo’s Nueva
Fábrica Nacional de Vidrio plant said: “Grupo Modelo is
committed to the environment and is looking for strategic
partners with the same vision.”
Luis Zertuche, Director of Sales and Marketing at FAMA
said: “For us it’s a great success, we have been talking to
Grupo Modelo for two years now and we are very proud
to supply them with this machinery.
“Grupo Modelo is a prestigious customer and very Working for a
well-known both in Mexico and the world, so we hope
it is the start of a very long relationship between our two
companies. FAMA is confident we can deliver the quality brighter future…
of services that they require.”
“We have been trying to penetrate the market for two years
and have been working very hard to position ourselves as
an alternative option to the existing companies that provide
moulds, IS machines, engineering services and technical
services, so for us it’s excellent news.”
FAMA, based in Monterrey, Mexico had previously sold
Grupo Modelo moulds and participated in some minor
jobs for the glassmaker. But this is the first time Grupo
Modelo has ordered such a large item of equipment from
FAMA.
The machine will produce beer bottles at an approximate
speed of 375 bottles per minute.
FAMA celebrated its 75th anniversary in February.
