SABMiller antitrust complaint against Corona, Heineken producers extended
[Note: video above is in Spanish if anyone wants to translate.]
Modelo, maker of Corona beer, and Dos Equis producer Heineken offer loans, upfront payments and refrigerators to restaurants and retailers that agree not to serve other brands, said Armando Valenzuela, the head of SABMiller’s Mexico unit. The practice is the focus of SABMiller’s 2010 antitrust complaint against Mexico’s two largest brewers, the second time the London-based company has formally accused them of blocking competition. Mexico’s antitrust agency decided Feb. 14 to extend an inquiry into the complaint for 120 business days after grouping it with other cases filed by undisclosed parties.
