El Manantial, S.A. de C.V.

Soft drinks the spring is a story of challenges, efforts and sacrifices. A story that has been forged day by day through dreams but with feet firmly on the ground. Our dreams have led us to reach the goals we have always set ourselves, no matter how great they are. Our goals are what we are today, a proudly Mexican company, Sinaloense and Rosarense. Our history was born in Rosario Sinaloa towards the year of 1880, where there was a boom derived from the activity of the people. El Rosario was the most prosperous town in northwestern Mexico. Within this maelstrom of development, there were two small soft drink bottlers in this population: La Eureka and Azteca. The first, owned by Antonio Espinoza de los Monteros, was inside the "Sinaloense" apothecary and made flavored soft drinks, among which was the specialty of the house: a fruit drink with a special touch of vanilla called by the owner of this factory: "Tony Co.", name that derives from the diminutive of Antonio "Tony" and "Co.", English abbreviation of Company. La Azteca, on the other hand, was also dedicated to the elaboration of different flavored soft drinks and was owned by Don Enrique Castañeda. On October 16, 1911, a small rural community near the Rosario would be born in Potrerillos, the man who would completely change those two small soda pops that existed in the Rosario: Don Ángel Solorza González. Don Ángel, a young boy who starts washing bottles in the Eureka on a good day in July 1925, is the one who would be in charge of converting his dream of "Doing something in life" through what is now the spring into a reality. That boy who started as a bottle washer, little by little, would know everything about the preparation of soft drinks, as well as business administration. His vision of born entrepreneur, makes those two bottlers that existed in the Rosary merge to give way to the success story of what is now the spring. Thanks to Angel and his vision, great things were done for the benefit of the company, among which the fact of having taken the soda "Tony Co.", anonymous, giving it its own identity until it became our leading brand.
