HISTORY
There are four generations backing this hard work and commitment.
First generation...
Our driving force, Maximino Rice, practiced his mechanical abilities starting at an early age, working in mines, workshops and foundries. With a forge, anvil, hand tools and the help of Luisa, his wife, he opened a blacksmith’s shop to service both the general and naval industries, which has flourished since then.
With small furnaces of his invention, in 1919 in Mexico, he patented a system for the production of cast iron rings for internal combustion engines. His motto being: “Better to be a big fish in a small pond, than a small fish in a big pond” has been the motivational factor behind the development of our company.
