CONSTANT INNOVATION, THE KEY TO GRUMA’S GLOBAL SUCCESS. (MILENIO ONLINE 0) Since its founding in 1949, Mexican multinational Gruma has been known for its continuous innovation, which has led it to position itself as the world leader in the production of nixtamalized corn flour, tortillas and wraps. However, the current health emergency caused by COVID-19 provides a clear view of the fruits of the funds invested in improved production processes and product diversification in the markets in which it operates. According to the report: Innovative Hispanic Food Market Trends, Growth Drivers Analysis 2021-2030, prepared by Market.Biz, innovation is driving competition in the food sector in a market pressured by the economic effects of the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The report describes Gruma as one of the main suppliers worldwide, thanks to its innovation. Thus, despite being a Mexican company, more than 70% of its revenues come from outside Mexico, primarily from its top market, the United States of America.
