On Our Way to the Next 100 Years

Based on our values, Grupo Herdez has built a profitable business that is constantly growing, always adding value for our shareholders, employees, consumers, communities, government and suppliers.

Our history of long and successful partnerships attests to the transparency and integrity of our operations.

BEGINNING A NEW CENTURY

We upgraded our mayonnaise production capacity With the inauguration of the Mexico Plant, located in Zumpango, State of Mexico, we replaced the Group’s first manufacturing plant, built in 1948. This new state-of-the art plant puts us at the forefront of Mexico’s food industry.

We consolidated our operations in Los Mochis

By consolidating our vegetable production capacity in the state of Sinaloa, we comply with the highest quality and safety standards in the world and seek to increase the efficiency of our operations.

We began to build a new tuna vessel

With fishing capacity of over 4,000 tons per year, our new tuna vessel will help us meet the long-term growth target for this segment.

We revitalized Nutrisa

After the acquisition of Nutrisa in 2013, we decided to strengthen the foundations of this business in order to ensure its sustainable growth and double its size in the near future. This included streamlining its product portfolio and stores, as well as incorporating new talent.

We expanded our business in the international market

MegaMex, our associated company in the United States, added about 3 million new households to its consumer base. The brands Herdez® and Wholly Guacamole® reported double-digit growth, surpassing the industry’s average.

We certified our plants with global standards

Several plants in the Group achieved BASC (Business Alliance for Secure Commerce), C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification 22000), GHG (Greenhouse Gas) and Industria Limpia (Clean Industry) certifications.

We were recognized in Mexico and the World

In Mexico, 39 products in our portfolio were recognized as Sabor del Año (Flavor of the Year) by Global Quality Certifications México; while 13 of our products in the US received Progressive Grocer 2014 Editor’s Pick in the magazine’s excellence awards for innovation, creativity and profitability.

In the field of sustainability, for the seventh consecutive year, we received the Socially Responsible Company distinction awarded by CEMEFI and were part of the Sustainable Index of the Mexican Stock Exchange for the third consecutive year.
