The most important is Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA), a concessionaire of the transnational Coca Cola, whose negotiating capacity for the supply of the liquid is very effective.
    - - Major industrial companies such as Ternium, Industrias del Álcali and Cervecería Cuauhtémoc/Heineken are practically the "owners" of water in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area.
        These industries, together with 64 other concessionaires, account for more than 50 million cubic meters of water for their consumption, according to data from Germán Marténez Santoyo, general director of the National Water Commission (Conagua).
    - - Beer production requires several processes, the beer and soft drink industries occupy a prominent place in Monterrey's industrial production. The statistics analyzed means of cross-data analysis and the construction of indicators confirm this. Other raw materials and inputs are involved in the production of beer, but to a lesser extent in the composition of the product.The water is the largest component per unit of product. Heineken has the largest establishment, in 2017, approximately 17 182.8 million liters of water were used.
