Constellation Brands invests in Mexican breweries for US export
What happened
Constellation Brands has budgeted between $5 billion and $5.5 billion for beer capital spending from fiscal 2023 through 2026, which includes a new brewery in Veracruz, Mexico. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, former Labor Secretary under Donald Trump, is advocating for Mexican workers and companies, including Constellation Brands, which produces beer in Mexico exclusively for export to the United States.
Why it matters
Policy experts note that Constellation Brands’ expansion into Mexico is a business decision, not a requirement due to antitrust issues. This significant investment increases the production capacity and market reach of Constellation Brands for its US exports.
