Casa Leyros

What Casa Leyros does

Casa Leyros (legal name Destilería Leyros S.A. de C.V.) is a family-owned tequila producer founded in 1999 by Enrique Legorreta and Roberto Rosales — the company name fuses both founding families — and is headquartered at Carretera Internacional Guadalajara–Tepic 394, Tequila, Jalisco, within the protected Denomination of Origin. The business operates as a vertically integrated B2B tequila manufacturer combining four pillars: agave cultivation (Agave Azul Tequilana Weber) across multiple regions within the DO, an industrial distillery built around the Modern Process with diffuser extraction and continuous distillation columns, fully automated bottling covering 50ml–1,750ml formats (first line launched October 2023), and warehousing — supplemented by the VIAGAVE Tequila Industrial Park, Transportes Norteamericanos logistics, and a bagasse-to-product loop with Green Loop. It is distinguished by an unusually broad certification stack (HACCP, Kosher, CTPAT, GLOBAL G.A.P., FSC, ARA, HECHO EN MEXICO), water sourced from the Tequila Volcano, and a CRT-confirmed ranking among the top 10 most efficient tequila companies in Mexico.

Casa Leyros generates revenue through four primary streams: contract tequila production for other brands (the core B2B offering), its own branded tequila sold in export markets, private-label bottling services, and infrastructure services via the VIAGAVE industrial park. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting brand owners seeking quality, consistency, and international certification compliance across 30+ countries, with first exports to the U.S. and Canada completed in 2001 and continuing expansion of own-brand distribution globally. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public ticker; ownership remains with the founding families under second-generation leadership. Recent capital deployment has been intensive: new bottling infrastructure (2015), corporate offices (2019), expanded facilities (2022), fully automated bottling line (October 2023), integrated milling train and diffuser plant (2025), and a new canning line for ready-to-drink formats (2026). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; service packages are customized to client volume and specification.
