Constellation Brands Inc , the U.S. distributor of Corona beer, said on Friday its Mexican breweries were still operational and supply to the United States was intact even as rivals suspended production due to the coronavirus pandemic.
AB InBev-owned Grupo Modelo and Dutch brewer Heineken recently suspended their Mexican operations after the country declared a health emergency and ordered the suspension of non-essential activities.Constellation Chief Executive Officer Bill Newlands said the company was not going against government recommendations.
The brewer's Corona and Modelo beers have been a huge hit with consumers, especially among the Hispanic population, helping it gain market share in the United States.AdvertisementThe company operates two breweries at Nava and Obregon in Mexico, where it produces about 34 million hectoliters of beer, according to a 2019 filing.
"We have changed how we run shifts in our plant to make sure there are no overlaps in case any issues occur with people's health," he said.
