Since its inception, technological research and development has been the main pillar on which GRUMA has supported its success.

As a result of the emphasis placed on technological development for more than 5 decades, GRUMA currently owns state-of-the-art technology to build corn flour and tortilla plants.

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.
By implementing state-of-the-art technology, 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.

With this advanced production technology, the company has reduced its variable production costs for corn and wheat tortillas 36% and 25%, respectively. These machines have been used successfully in GRUMA’s operating facilities in the United States and Central America.
