PLANTA LA YAGUARA

1946 marks the beginning of the modern era of Ponche Crema, with the first industrial plant in Antímano. There, the most sophisticated machinery and equipment available are installed. In 1995, the filling lines and manufacturing areas are modernized and expanded using high technology that allows us to attend the growing market demand efficiently.
