80's
GRUMA is considered an international company.
As part of our expansion strategy into the international market, we acquired 10 plants in the United States.
We built the first cornflour mill in Edinburg, Texas which created Azteca Milling, a subsidiary that would quickly produce profits and would represent significant growth in flour sales for the tortilla industry in the United States.
In the United States we also acquired "Guerrero", a brand with strongroots in southern California, which is now very beloved by the Mexicans in this country.
At the end of the decade we established ourselves into an international company and during these years our executives were already equal to the highest performance standards for directors of U.S. transnational companies.
