CMI Foods opens Experts Lab in Mexico: innovation to serve our clients’ growth

Innovation is a fundamental pillar at CMI Foods. As part of our commitment to the development of the baking industry, we are introducing an initiative designed to foster creativity, research, and collaboration with our customers. This milestone represents a step forward in our approach to driving growth in the sector and strengthening our value proposition.

At CMI Foods we believe that innovation is key to driving sustainable development and generating opportunities that change lives. As part of our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement, we opened Experts Lab in the State of Mexico. This is an innovation center for AIS Bakery, part of CMI Foods, specializing in the sale of value-added products and services. It was designed to focus on strengthening the bakery industry through product development, sensory analysis, and collaboration with our clients and strategic partners.

This initiative represents a significant step forward in our ability to offer innovative and customized solutions to respond to changing market needs. With Experts Lab we seek to consolidate an ecosystem of knowledge, creativity, and technology, where research and development are the foundation for the growth of our partners and clients.

An initiative designed for innovation

In a 185 sq meter space, Experts Lab has four key areas:

• Coworking: An open space for clients and sector experts to create together;

• Bakery: An area available for technical advisors where new recipes and techniques can be developed and tested;

• Research and Development (R&D): A lab that specializes in innovative product formulation;

• Weighing and storage: Adequate spaces to manage inputs and product tests.

This center operates under the Spoke-Hub model, a concept that will be implemented in the regional operation. It consists of a network of small development centers that will feed into a larger center in Guatemala. These investments in research and development (R&D) seek to strengthen the flour industry and CMI’s business.

Growth and commitment to innovation

The bakery sector in Mexico has grown in the last year, driven by the development of new projects and a commitment to strategic solutions. At AIS Bakery, we live our C2 value proposition: “Crecer al cliente para crecer nosotros” which translates into “Growing our clients to grow ourselves,” reaffirming our commitment to evolving alongside our partners and clients. Experts Lab will allow us to share knowledge, technology, and best practices to continue transforming the industry.

At CMI, Corporación Multi Inversiones, we believe in innovation as a driver of responsible and sustainable growth. With Experts Lab, we strengthen our ability to offer the highest quality products and solutions, driving the growth of the bakery industry and creating new opportunities for all.
