A Story of Pride and Tradition

We are an Ecuadorian food company that has contributed to the country’s development since 1909.

In 2008, we consolidated as Moderna Alimentos by merging Molino Electromoderno (Cajabamba), Panificadora Moderna (Quito), and Molinos del Ecuador (Guayaquil). By 2018, we had positioned ourselves as leaders in Ecuador’s milling industry.

Responding to market challenges and global trends, with a sustainable and high-quality focus, we produce and market wheat-based products and their derivatives to meet the needs of our customers and consumers.
