CONSTELLATION BRANDS REINFORCES STRENGTH OF ITS BREWERY PRODUCTION FOOTPRINT IN MEXICO

March 24, 2020

VICTOR, N.Y., March 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B), a leading beverage alcohol company, today responded to the outcome of a recent public consultation in Mexicali, Baja California (Mexico) which voiced opposition to the company’s plans to build a new brewery in the city.

“We will continue working with local authorities, government officials and members of the community on next steps related to our brewery construction project in Mexicali and options elsewhere in Mexico,” said Bill Newlands, president and chief executive officer at Constellation Brands. “In the meantime, it’s important to note that we have ample capacity, based on current growth forecasts and production capabilities at our Nava brewery and soon to be completed expansion in Obregon, to continue fueling the growth of our beer business in the medium-term. We’ve had a positive, mutually beneficial relationship with Mexico for more than 30 years and we fully expect this to continue.”

Since 2013, Constellation has made significant investments in its production operations throughout Mexico to support the robust growth of its import beer business. The company will leverage these investments and other options to continue meeting the needs of U.S. consumers over the long-term.
