GRUMA has favored among its most significant values, its faith in research andtechnology, as a driving force of industry and progress. Thus, the company dedicates a good part of its initiatives to constantly improve all corn related traits: nutritional content, physical properties, yield, pest resistance, and storage, among others

As a result of the emphasis on technological development for almost six decades, GRUMA has the most advanced technology to build plants to produce corn flour and nixtamalized tortillas.

As technology advances, GRUMA has been considerably modified in the last five years. It now has a system, able to take advantage of any type of grain. This advancement has a domino effect: it allows for the discovery of viable solutions, to resolve the problems that could arise in the different markets the company serves.

This technology permits GRUMA to produce different types of flour suitable for every use. In the last years we developed whiter flours with better yield, which makes them superior in quality, compared to the competition.
Additionally GRUMA has developed equipment to make tortillas, which produce substantially higher volumes and cost savings compared to traditional machines. GRUMA's tortilla machines produce up to 1,200 corn tortillas or 400 wheat tortillas per minute, whereas traditional machines in Mexico produce only 30 to 50 tortillas per minute.

Also, GRUMA, is convinced that, to grow, we had to devote resources to research, and this is aimed at finding new products that achieve higher added value, in order to meet the needs and tastes of its consumers in different markets and regions, and to reduce manufacturing costs of their products, develop processes to increase their performance and refine their ecological systems to comply strictly with environmental regulations that each one of the countries where it operates.

The continuing trials and tests that are performed within all plants serve to offer the best attributes in the products produced.
