| | | | | | | | Extra info | Ceuta is an 18.5-square-kilometre (7.1 sq mi) autonomous city of Spain and an exclave located on the north coast of Africa, sharing a western border with Morocco. Separated from the Iberian peninsula by the Strait of Gibraltar, Ceuta lies along the boundary between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Ceuta, along with the Spanish exclave Melilla, is one of two permanently inhabited Spanish territories in mainland Africa. It was part of Cádiz province until 14 March 1995, when the city's Statute of Autonomy was passed.
Founded in 1908, this factory, the pride of the Spanish Protectorate in Morocco, was dedicated not only to the manufacture of soft drinks but also produced ice and syrups, as well as manufacturing soup pastas, spirits, aniseed and being a wine warehouse. Sometimes referred to as Weil and others as Weill, it was located on Calle Isabel la Católica de Melilla and also had branches in Tetouan, Tangier and Ceuta, always in establishments of its property. that was transported to Melilla in tanks, being later filtered to leave it completely devoid of impurities.
The electricity was obtained from its own power plant.
There were 120 workers working in the factory, and in 1925 it had seven cars and three trucks for the distribution. Five years later, in 1930, the cars had already been replaced by trucks, and of the ten that it owned, six were assembled specifically for the distribution of soft drinks.
It was also the concessionaire of Damm beer for Morocco, which it would surely bottle in the same factory, since that was the general practice in those years, and also of the carbonic acid of the L. Coromina company. In 1929 it bottled Coca-Cola, and in 1931 Orange Crush.
In 1936 there is evidence in the press that he petitioned the Grand Vizier of Nador for the construction there of a factory that was to consist of a bottle cleaning machine, two bottle fillers and two siphon fillers. At that time the company was already a limited company named Hijos de Weil S.L. which later changed to S.A. Weil.
The company would continue at least until the 70s, always related to the world of soft drinks and beer. |
