Heineken Mexico

Heineken Mexico is investing approximately $460 million to build a state-of-the-art brewery in Yucatán. The brewery will integrate circular economy practices that ensure water reuse through cutting-edge treatment systems. It also will operate with minimal waste and utilize renewable energy sources through advanced processes, equipment, and technology.

The construction will take place in the Kanasín municipality, making it the company’s first brewery in the southeast region, allowing Heineken to address the growing demand in the area while capitalizing on the region’s road, rail, and port connectivity. Operations at the facility are projected to begin in 2026. The site will produce brands such as Tecate, Dos Equis, Indio, Bohemia, Amstel Ultra, and Sol, among others.

“Mexico plays a pivotal role as one of the company’s foremost global markets,” says Dolf van den Brink, CEO, and chairman of the executive board at Heineken. “This investment has strategic significance. It is designed to propel growth and seize the abundant opportunities that the Mexican market presents. We look forward to the continued relationship between Heineken and the people of Mexico, spanning more than 132 years.”

“We take pride in being a part of Mexico’s history and in connecting with our customers and consumers in Yucatán and the southeast, all while safeguarding the environment and the welfare of our people,” says Guillaume Duverdier, managing director of Heineken Mexico. “We are dedicated to and have strong confidence in Mexico, and we remain committed to continue brewing moments of joy and true togetherness through our portfolio of brands.”
