DIFA Glass Company to Supply Grupo Modelo

Dirección de Fabricas de Nava (DIFA) is the glass company that will supply Grupo Modelo's Coahuila brewery with the appropriate bottle for use in the global export market. In the first phase of investment, Dirección de Fábricas de Nava will invest US$250 million in the construction of a plant. DIFA will contribute to the regional development of the area by making the commitment to use raw materials, such as silica sand, lime and barite located in Coahuila and its surroundings -- while reaching production levels of an estimated 3 million 2 thousand bottles daily. Estimates are that the first stage DIFA will generate 550 direct jobs in the construction and when the plant is in full operation approximately 2,000 people will be working.
