- Industrias Peñoles, S.A.B. de C.V. (Peñoles) operates as a leading Mexican mining and metals company, primarily engaged in the exploration, development, extraction, and processing of precious and base metals. The company produces silver, gold, lead, zinc, and copper through its mining division, which includes key operations such as the Fresnillo, Saucito, Ciénega, Herradura, and Sabinas mines; it also manufactures refined metals, chemicals, and industrial products via its industrial group, encompassing sulfuric acid, sodium sulfate, and animal feed additives under brands like Met-Mex Peñoles and Química del Rey. Peñoles serves industrial clients, refiners, and manufacturers across mining, automotive, construction, and chemical sectors, with primary operations in Mexico and exports to international markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. Founded in 1889 and headquartered in Mexico City, the company maintains strategic subsidiaries including Fresnillo plc, a London-listed silver and gold producer in which Peñoles holds a significant stake. In recent developments, Peñoles reported robust production growth in 2024, including record silver output amid rising metal prices, and advanced sustainability initiatives such as expanded renewable energy use at its mines; the company also navigated market volatility through optimized zinc and lead smelting operations at its Reynosa facilities, with no major acquisitions or name changes noted in the past two years.
