Mexican tequila industry growth and professionalization

Overview

The Mexican tequila industry is experiencing growth driven by both specialized entrepreneurship and professional technical training.

Tequila Design, a firm based in Jalisco, has expanded its business model to include five distinct lines—individual, corporate, social, tourism, and licensing—focusing on hyper-personalized, collectible agave blanco tequila. The company is transitioning from a startup to a business with national reach and plans for expansion into the United States market.

Complementing this entrepreneurial growth, the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara and the Consejo Regulador del Tequila have graduated 39 new technicians. This joint diploma program has now trained a total of 1,065 professionals in areas such as fermentation, raw material management, and international trade to support the Tequila Denomination of Origin.
