Washington Post – On a scorching April morning in Monterrey, Mexico, Enrique Garcia, Vitro’s local plant manager, crosses under a mural that commemorates the 100th anniversary of the company’s first glass factory. He points to brick structures from the original plant.
Then, with visitors in tow, Garcia heads toward a steel-and-tin building where machines the size of minivans churn out 3 million bottles a day for Avon Products, Coca-Cola and Francis Ford Coppola Winery. Vitro is Mexico’s biggest glassmaker and among the nation’s top employers, with 17,000 workers.
