HISTORY of MOCTEZUMA BREWING

Moctezuma Brewing, the Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, was founded in 1890 in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. José Calderón and Don Isaac Garza led a group of founders that also included José A. Muguerza, Francisco G. Sada, and Joseph M. Schnaider. They initially invested 150,000 pesos in the creation of the brewery, which began by introducing the brand Carta Blanca to the domestic market.
The brewery found success and over the years obtained more factories, including additional brewing facilities in Tecate (1954), Toluca (1969), Guadalajara (1970), Orizaba (1985), and Navojoa (1991), which installed the most modern equipment on the market. All told, Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma’s six plants produce 30,900,000 hl annually and employ over 19,000 people.
