GRUMA is the indisputable worldwide leader in corn flour and tortilla production, with operations in United States Mexico, Mexico, Central America, Venezuela and more recently, Europe. The Company began operations in Mexico in 1949. Its objective was to modernize the traditional Mexican masa and tortilla industry, which is an activity of huge economic and social significance, through an industrial, ecological and more efficient process. Because of its constant research and development efforts, GRUMA developed proprietary technology that allowed the Company to position itself as the worldwide leader in corn flour and tortilla production, in production costs and product quality. Its technological leadership has made GRUMA an integrated vertical producer of the corn-flour-masa-tortilla chain. This represents important competitive advantages not easy to duplicate. Additionally, it permitted the Company to develop not only in Mexico, but has also to transcend to international markets.
