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.
