Nearly a century and a half of operations has made Casa Sauza, owned by the multinational Beam Suntory, a pioneer brand in the production of iconic Mexican tequilas. Since beginning operations in 1873, Casa Sauza, located in Tequila, Jalisco, has used numerous distillation and preparation methods for its tequilas, ranging from manual production to fully automated processes. The company is now focusing on integrating Industry 4.0 production concepts.

Casa Sauza Tequila increases production efficiency by 20%According to data gathered since 2018, efficiency in Casa Sauza has grown by 20%, while critical defect cases have been reduced by 50%. Another indicator of higher efficiency under the Industry 4.0 model is the flexibility of filling lines, currently running more than 100 different products with diverse presentations and bottle shapes.Casa Sauza
