Company visits

We made interesting visits during the semester with the school. We had the opportunity of visiting important manufactures in Mazatlan like the Bimbo factory, one which is one the most important baking companies around the world.

We also discovered the cerveceria Pacifico and visit one of the best hotels of the city, the Royal Villas.

All these visits were really instructive; they permit us learning more about the business in Mexico in a different and entertaining way.

Throughout the semester, Tec de Monterrey offers several fieldtrips for the students. These fieldtrips range from a visit to the port, a trip to the machado to learn about the old architecture, a tour of Bimbo, the local bread factory and a visit to the Pacifico Cerveceria, the local beer brewery.

• The visit to the port is very informative and interesting. You get to learn about the cruise ships that come into Mazatlan, as well as the imports and exports. A tour around the grounds gives you a better idea of the mass of products and the amount of money that the port brings in.

• The visit to the Machado gives the students an insight to how Mazatlan was built and the construction of the surrounding neighborhoods.

• The Bimbo tour is a fieldtrip that takes you into the factory and shows how the majority of Mexico’s bread and bread products are made on a mass scale, while giving statistics and other facts to demonstrate just how important the company is in the Mexican economy. 

• The Pacifico tour is equally as informative, and gives the visitors a look into how the local beer is made, as well as about 12 other beers. A guided tour through the plant allows the students to see up close the brewing process and how the beer is tested and bottled.
