About Us

We began operations in 1890 with the founding of our brewery in Monterrey, Mexico. Today, over a century later, we have grown from a brewer into a leading company with soft drink, juices, water and retail operations.

Our core businesses are soft drinks and our fast-growing chain of small-format stores, OXXO.

On April 30, 2010, FEMSA announced the closing of the transaction pursuant to which FEMSA agreed to exchange 100% of its beer operations for a 20% economic interest in the Heineken Group, through this transaction we will increase our scale and geographic reach competing effectively.
