Hola, hola, bienvenidos a M��xico, tierra de colores, vibrantes, paisajes que te quiten al aliento y sabores que te encienden el alma. Estoy aqu�� para explorar las tradiciones, los aromas y por supuesto, el picante. ��Sabor local today where? Getting into what makes Mexico so exciting, from nutrition to fragrance to taste. First stop El Saldo Faras. El salto fue inaugurado en el 2000, o sea, ya tenemos 25 a��os en este lugar. Nosotros producimos mezclas tanto en polvo como l��quidas. Bienvenido al salto, muchas gracias. Al contrario, vamos y producimos para dos unidades de negocio, tanto titi, H como h and C nuestras mezcas pueden ser simples de vitaminas, as�� tambi��n podemos usar mezclas muy completas que puedan estar listas para el envasado. Interactivo. Nosotros hacemos mezclas efervescentes, el ��nico sitio que tenemos la tecnolog��a para poder producirlas y tambi��n aprovechamos la sinergia en tu nuestro negocios, haciendo que nuestras premescas puedan ir saborizadas. Y es solamente para M��xico que producimos aqu�� no exportamos, De hecho 20 pa��ses son de los cuales llegamos. En el 2022 nosotros compramos paneles solares, estos paneles han representado para nosotros un ahorro de un 30% en nuestro consumo de energ��a. Ay, fant��stico, gracias. Es claro que el salto no es solamente un sitio de producci��n, es un centro de innovaci��n y sostenibilidad. Now let's go and learn more about the premixes that we are sending across the Americas and beyond. On marriage and then tell me what we're making here in El Salto. We are making full high quality premises for our customers. If we have premixes for all the segment like medical nutrition, early life nutrition, dietary supplement and also farmer products. We have been focused on innovation for our customers. We have one of the biggest project for Synergy all over the world and my colleague Mario can tell you more about it. As you mentioned, this drugstore chain has nearly 10,000 stores in Mexico and now they're expanding to Colombia and Chile. And last year, we worked with them on 2 full premix projects, one focusing on beauty and the other one on healthy joints. They contain micronutrients, vitamins, flavors or the customer has to do is repackage and sell them. And one important topic is that this drugstore chain targets low income consumers. So through them, we're able to bring innovation in a more accessible and affordable way for them. People in Mexico, we do have some hydration supplements in the form of powder in very interesting flavors such as chocolate and mango chili. Would you like to give it a try? Absolutely. So Angle, here we are in an application lab with my colleague roofer going through Questo. Are you ready to try some of the products we discussed? Yes, I am. OK. So this is a full remix. It's a hydration supplement we talked about it's mango chili flavor, which is a Mexican flavor. Let's see what you think of it. Great. I Carico Mccampbell. El mango de Chile, gracias, Mario y Robert. I learned so much about premixes, but now I'm excited because I hear there is a sweet surprise waiting for me around the corner. Oh my God, what a wonderful surprise. Me and me, Este. Pastel maravilloso y los mariachis. This is not just about sweet treats, it's about community, Alegia, and everything we stand for at the SM termination. Yeah. Settled all. Anybody got 1 follower? Ross. I had a fantastic time in El Salto, but now I'm in Mexico City and I'm meeting with Joao, our perfumer who's recently moved here. Hey Joel. Hi Angel. DSM Furnish hadn't had a perfumer here for over 20 years and the first one you moved here in a while. We have a great team in place. And if we're here locally, we're able to deliver fragrance as much faster to our clients and much more tailor made for their specific needs. Mexico is a country where the consumer is very involved in the laundry process. It is a way to express care, is a way to express the deepest family love. Here, we try to simulate different consumer situations in order to replicate almost the same process that the consumer do in their homes. Let us know. Yes, Mexico is a quite unique place effectively. We have some heritage in fragrances from the rest of Latin America. So we're going to have a tendency to see fragrances here. They're a little bit more fresh and clean on the top. That smells fantastic. But also the American market has some influence. So all these mixture is really what makes the Mexican market unique effectively. And do we have any technologies that help us achieve just that? So our pops and technology, our Fergus encapsulation technology really delivered the level of freshness that is required on dry clothes in laundry. I love it. And also our Halo. And technology, while also helping in laundry can also help in cleaning products and we can get this level of intensity and longevity of the fragrances that the consumer demands. Let me talk about the surface care here in Mexico. So it's a category in which the fragrance plays a very important role. Consumers are really involved in the process. I mean they like to get their hands inside the water, they like to smell and they like to perceive the well done job that they're doing inside their homes. Excellent, I've heard. And rumors that you're not quite a fan of doing laundry, but I also heard somewhere that you were a lover of fragrances. So I was hoping to inspire you a little bit during the visit. And I wanted to give you something that will probably do just that. Excellent. We'll have to do the laundry now and test this out. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Mexican snacks are like a Fiesta in your mouth. I'm here to discover how our local teams are capturing that complexity in every bite and sip. Hola Hola, Let me show you an interesting project. It's about the tomato juice. We have some issues in the stability in the beverage. They separate. We work with the ingredient solution team globally in order to achieve that. And so do you just drink that? As it is, no, we prepare because we love spicy. Let me show you. OK, you can put some lime, some chili, Worcester sauce, Maggi sauce, hot sauce, and finally some lime. OK, let's try this. Yeah. Wow, what an explosion of flavors. It's spicy and tangy. I've seen on TikTok that here in Mexico the youth is really into street food and creating new snacks. We playing a big role in this. We work in the SM-3 manage and the flavors of the snacks. It's very important for us. You wanna try it? Sure, put some fruit, some carrots, cucumber and of course Line and Leslie. We can put some chamoy, please. You want to try? Let's taste this. I'm burning up. I love this deep dive into the Mexican flavors and how we atheism Furmanite are at the heart of it. A shared culture where everybody embraces the same values and behaviors is key to any successful organization. You don't just talk about it, you have to live it. And they do that here in Mexico. Hi, Linda. Hi, you. Really, it's nice to have you here. And I know you feel all the passion that we put in everything we do. You know that we have four sides, Apodaca, El Salto, Toluca and Condesa. We have a good mix of generations. We have young talent at about 49% of our members, but we have two along seniority, about 40 years of experience with us. This is how we own the outcome. We create this meaningful connection sessions to understand the behaviors and to recognize how we live them. So has that impacted our ways of working? Yes, I see how we move from collaboration to innovation and sharing best practices to work hand in hand to do this amazing scenarios for our customers. So we like to be in progress to life with passion together. I can feel it everywhere I go. The values really come to life. Thank you very much.
