Cool Pasion

The Mexican Container and Packaging Association (AMEE) granted last June 49 awards to bottles designed and manufactured by Vitro for the wine and liquor, drug, food, cosmetic and soda pop industries during its annual 2007 AMEE competition.

Among the 49 awards is included the prestigious "Star Award for Export Packaging" that was awarded to Vitro's container designed for Comercializadora de Pulques y Bebidas Poliqui, S.A. de C:V: a company that revived the concept of pulque, an ancestral drink from Mexico, by repositioning it towards a younger market.

The “Star Award for Export Packaging” rewards those containers that promote the export of Mexican products as well as originality in design and the use of innovative materials.

 “To have received the star award for the best export bottle awarded by AMEE reiterates our commitment to ongoing support for our customers in their quest to penetrate and dominate new market segments. The 49 star awards that we received once again establishes a new record in our company history for recognition by AMEE and is representative of the integral service that Vitro offers to its clients” commented David González, President of Vitro’s Glass Container business unit.

The competition “Star Containers and Packaging” is organized annually by AMEE to distinguish those products that had an outstanding placement in the categories of: protection and conservation of contents, ease of handling, attractiveness for selling purposes, graphic design, manufacturing quality and environmental friendliness among others.

In addition to these awards received by Vitro and its subsidiaries in a ceremony that took place in the Banamex Center in Mexico City, can be added 5 awards received on May 7 of this year in Chicago from the North American Institute of Glass Packaging (better known as GPI) in its yearly competition “2007 Clear Choice Awards”.

Vitro is the industry leader in Mexico that relies on technology, delivers value added containers, is environmentally conscious and socially responsible thus allowing its client base to consolidate their respective market positions.
