Key events in Q216
Gruma donates USD 4 million to create the Mission Foods Texas-Mexico Center
This important center will begin researching and promoting policy-based discussion to improve strategic ties between Mexico and Texas in the United States.
Gruma Chairman of the Board and CEO Juan González-Moreno, and Gerald Turner, President of the Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, signed an agreement to createThe Mission Foods Texas-Mexico Center, whose primary objective will be the study and improvement of the relationship between Mexico, Texas, and the United States through research, annual events, and public forums.
Gruma/Mission Foods decided to support the creation of the Center after seeing a great opportunity to contribute to the improvement of Texas-Mexico relations, and upon discovering that there has never been an academic center dedicated to the specific analysis of this vital relationship throughout the long history of economic, social, political, and family relations between Texas and Mexico.

The Agromas plant, located in the state of Tlaxcala, has an installed production capacity of more than 10,000 tons per month, and will primarily serve clients in the states of Guerrero, Hidalgo, Mexico, Morelos, Oaxaca, Puebla, Queretaro, Tlaxcala, and Veracruz, as well as Mexico City.
