SOLUTIONS FOR JUICES
BY PURCHASING A GLASS BOTTLING
LINE, MEXICAN PRODUCER JUMEX
PUTS ITS TRUST IN SIDEL YET AGAIN
Jumex turns to Sidel again in purchasing a new glass line for fruit juice its goals: innovation, high speed and efficiency
Jumex - derived from
Jugos Mexicanos
(Mexican Juice) - is the
favourite brand of juice
and nectars for Mexican
consumers due
particularly to its
packaging
sidel.com/JNSDIT
Famous for the packaging
and its 'little blue can'
One of the leaders of the
Mexican domestic market
The early origins of Jumex were with
the Fruit and Juice Packing, Inc. and
its Frugo brand, which were founded
on April 27, 1961. The first flavours
produced were apricot, apple,
guava, mango, pear, plum and
tamarind. The actual Jumex brand
and its well-known 'little blue can'
were introduced in 1964 and quickly
becoming the favourite brand for
Mexican consumers. It features the
famous latita azul, which was to
become the symbol for the country’s
best fruit juices and nectars.
Almost a half-century later, the
Jumex Group is associated with the
Mexican canned products company
La Costeña and Frugosa, Botemex,
Jugomex, Alijumex brands, Vilore
Services and Vilore Foods, Inc. The
Group is now one of the leaders on
the national market, and exports
more than 20% of its production
mainly to the USA and other
countries around the world.
The Jumex brand is particularly
popular among Hispanic consumers
in the United States.
Packaging innovation always a
fundamental priority for Jumex
The Jumex Group focuses on innovation, both for
products and for packaging, as part of an
extensive sustainability project. As resistant as a
can and as practical as a bottle, the 'bottle
can' (lata botella) in the half-litre and litre formats,
is an idea unique to Mexico - and 100%
recyclable. “Jumex has always considered
packaging innovation to be a fundamental
priority,” confirms Roberto Fernández Bravo,
Group Engineering Director. “Currently, we are
working on bottle lightweighting while still being
very attentive to costs and to the quality of
protection."

A leader because customers appreciate the quality of its products
Jumex and Sidel have enjoyed a lengthy relationship since 1990 when Jumex bought its first 250ml
glass bottling line for juices. Since then other lines and many standalone machines have followed.
The most recent Sidel line producing 250ml (at 54,000 bph), 410ml and 473ml glass bottles at the
Jugomex plant near Mexico City is giving excellent results. Equipment includes a Sweepoff
depalletiser, empty bottle conveyors, Blockrinser bottlewasher, a Veloce HF filler, a cap feeder, a
Pama cooler, and conveyors for filled bottles.
“Before, the three formats were bottled on three different lines. However, we wanted to run them on
one high-speed line with greater performance and efficiency. That’s why we contacted Sidel,”
explains Roberto Fernández Bravo. “Our experience has been very positive, which we wanted to
repeat this time. Sidel is a large group that has always provided us with optimal service. It’s a
cutting-edge company whose philosophy is quite close to our own. Jumex is a leader because our
customers appreciate the quality of our products. The same goes for us when we buy machines."
