Grupo Herdez is a leading Mexican food company based in Mexico City, with origins dating back to 1914. Over more than a century of operations, the company has grown from a regional salsa producer into a diversified packaged foods group serving both domestic and international markets. Grupo Herdez is publicly traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange and its American depositary shares trade on the OTC market under the symbol GUZOF.
The company’s core business encompasses the production, marketing and distribution of value-added preserved and refrigerated foods. Its portfolio includes well-recognized brands such as Herdez, Doña María, Embasa and McCormick’s Mexican food line, covering categories like salsas and sauces, canned vegetables, soups, guacamole, tortillas, frozen meals and pasta products. Grupo Herdez also produces private-label foods for major retailers and operates joint-venture partnerships to extend its offerings in key segments.
Grupo Herdez maintains an extensive distribution network across Mexico through direct sales, third-party distributors and a growing logistics platform. In recent years the company has expanded its presence in the United States and other export markets, leveraging cross-border retail chains and specialty grocers to reach Hispanic and mainstream consumers. This international footprint supports ongoing efforts to balance domestic growth with global opportunities.
Still led by descendants of the founding family alongside a professional management team, Grupo Herdez places emphasis on innovation, food safety and sustainable practices. The company invests in research and development centers to adapt recipes and packaging for evolving consumer trends, while maintaining a governance structure that blends multi-generational stewardship with independent oversight.
