Gruma Expands Into Russia

Mexican company Gruma, the world’s largest manufacturer of tortillas, is to build two plants in Russia for an initial cost of $100 million. The plants are located in Moscow and will serve that region as well as northern Germany. Gruma already operates in Latin America, the US, Europe, and Australia. Last August it opened a plant in China and plans to expand its operations in Asia as well as looking at moving into Africa.
