According to Daniel Caridi, part of his vision of the future is a possible move into the manufacture of PE crates for beverages and plastic pallets. In addi- tion, there is, as far as Coca-Cola is concerned, the “2020 Vision“ adopted in 2010, which aims at doubling margins. And that, according to Daniel Caridi and Guillermo Sem- coff, is wholly realistic, taking into account experiences to date as regards sales and growth.

In 1888, a German immi- grant called Otto Sebastian Bemberg, a beer enthusiast, laid the foundation stone of the brewery that, commercially speaking, now dominates the Argentinian market. The HQ of the new brewery, Quilmes, a town some 30km from Buenos Aires, itself has an interesting history, for it was here that a native Indian population of the same name was resettled from their original lands in the North West during the Spanish colonial period. Discussions on Quilmes and the development of Argentina’s strongest brand of beer: Juan Pablo Zug (in front of the window), ( and in the 360° vwersion: Pablo Heras (at the door) Kay Barton (right), and Chiraz El Goudi (PETplanet) After two years of preparatory work, the first beer flowed here in 1890, as Juan Pablo Zug explained. The business flourished and over the years the brewery expanded, and even now the number of employees continues to grow. Gradually, the brewery has come to participate in the town growth and its influence is felt everywhere. Cervecería y Maltería Quilmes has supported local facilities such as the local fire service, the hospital, a sports association and the set up for the water supply service, all of which continue to benefit the local community. Training programmes are also being spon- sored by the brewery. Company growth was not just confined to the local area; new branches were already being set up in Buenos Aires, Santa Fé, Entre Ríos and Córdoba as early as the 1920’s. 360° petengineering.com info@petengineering.com P.E.T.
