Industrias Peñoles
Industrias Peñoles, founded in 1887, is today one of the largest industrial groups in Mexico, with integrated operations in smelting and refining of non-ferrous metals and chemical processing. Industrias Peñoles is the world’s largest producer of refined silver, metallic bismuth and sodium sulphate. It plays a leading role in the production of gold, lead and refined zinc in Latin America. The firm wished to migrate from TDM telephony to IP and found that the best option was to choose an Open Source solution.
