Casa Sauza, one of Mexico's oldest and most respected tequila producers, is part of the Suntory Global Spirits portfolio. Founded in 1873, Casa Sauza has been a pioneer in the tequila industry, exporting its product since the late 19th century. Since 2014, when Suntory Holdings acquired Beam Inc., Casa Sauza has benefited from Suntory's innovation and global expansion, solidifying its position as a leader in the production of high-quality tequila.
