MEXICO - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Mexico's $1.3 trillion economy has become increasingly oriented toward manufacturing in the 20 years since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into force. Per capita income is roughly one-third that of the US; income distribution remains highly unequal. Mexico has become the United States' second-largest export market and third-largest source of imports. In 2013, two-way merchandise trade reached nearly $507 billion. Mexico has free trade agreements with over 50 countries including Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, the European Free Trade Area, and Japan - putting more than 90% of trade under free trade agreements. In 2012 Mexico formally joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations and formed the Pacific Alliance with Peru, Colombia and Chile. Mexico's current government, led by President Enrique PENA NIETO, emphasized economic reforms during its first year in office, passing education, energy, financial, fiscal and telecommunications reform legislation. The three-party "Pact for Mexico" reform agenda aims to improve competitiveness and economic growth across the Mexican economy

History of Piosa

 

1930 - 1937

Don Rafael Fernández Saldaña, founder of PYOSA, founded along with his brother Julio, the firm Convertibles Monterrey S.A., a firm devoted to trading lead oxides in the State of Nuevo León.

 

A technological change in gasoline refining methods put an end to the use of lead oxide as a sulfur eliminating agent.  Having lost its main market, Convertibles Monterrey was forced to close.

 

1938 - 1940

Don Rafael, at age 60, with his son Albert of 20 years, formed at the end of 1938 a commercial and industrial and company under the name of Mercantil Fernández.

In the commercial sector, they sterilized and packed Kremo wheat breakfast cereal and conducted purchase - sale activities and commercial representation of all kinds of products related to cream of wheat.  In the industrial field, Mercantil Fernández purchased raw litharge from Minera y Metalúrgica Peñoles foundry operations and milled molten litharge, and then sold it to potters, battery manufacturers, and others.  Producing minium and lead oxides was the first diversification of the company that was to become Mexico's leader in this field.

 

1947 - 1954

In 1947 Pigmentos y Óxidos, S. A. (PYOSA) was duly incorporated. That same year it started exporting lead litharge to accumulators makers in the USA and competes with American producers including Eagle Picher, a company with which manages a partnership that allows PYOSA to acquire more equipment and so that it quadrupled its plant capacity.

 

1955 - 1952

In 1955, the Plant 2 is built, which will serve to increase the area of pigments and textile dyes and certified colors for food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. That same year Pigmentos y Óxidos merged and its subsidiary Insecticidas Cruz Negra of agricultural chemical area.

 

In 1968, they began to produce dispersed colorants at Plant 3 and, by 1969, dispersed colorant production led the Company to develop solvent colorants for Pemex to differentiate greases and oils and, later on, for gasoline too.  In 1971, Insecticidas Cruz Negra was liquidated.

 

In the following years, true to its vision, PYOSA implemented actions to transform itself in order to offer its customers more and better solutions, not just through products but by integrating added value services too.
