Industrias Peñoles

The world’s largest producer of refined silver and other metals, Industrias Peñoles, S.A. is comprised of 50 companies with nearly 7,000 employees throughout Mexico. Traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange since 1968, Peñoles places great emphasis on increasing their value to shareholders, and one way they do so is to strictly control costs company-wide. This meticulous fiscal responsibility is increasingly important given the strong effect that the international market for silver and other non-ferrous metals has on prices Peñoles can charge for its products.
