Enrolled on the Mexican Stock Exchange as AC, Arca Continental was formed in 2011 through the amalgamation of Embotelladora Arca and Grupo Continental. Its central office is in Monterrey.



“Some of these machines are able to create up to 21 different shapes and sizes. There are 1,200 molds equipped with Kohlox, a system made of thermo composite material that aids parts move freely without lubrication and cuts down machine downtimes.”



“Alpla will produce complete the Coke bottle shapes from 250 milliliters to three liters” on the Modern machines, it added.
