Quality that builds trust: our Guayaquil mill earns FSSC 22000 certification

At Superior, our commitment to quality and food safety is present in every one of our operations nationwide. Achieving FSSC 22000 certification for our Guayaquil mill, which began operations in mid-2025, marks a key milestone in our strategic growth. This recognition reaffirms our ongoing priority: to provide inputs and products that meet the highest quality standards to support the requirements of our Consumer Goods and Industry divisions.

Implementing a world-class food safety management scheme in a newly opened operation was a challenge that required coordination, discipline, and deep operational commitment. Building technical capabilities and consolidating rigorous processes required a coordinated effort across multiple areas, all united by the shared purpose of producing safe food that provides complete peace of mind at every table and in every industrial process.

Quality DNA is in our people

This achievement is the direct result of the effort and dedication of the entire team. Every member of Gente Superior, from their respective roles, makes a decisive contribution to ensuring excellence in our processes:

• Strictly complying with every operational procedure and food safety instruction.
• Continuously verifying operating conditions at the plant.
• Identifying and promptly addressing any deviation or risk in the production chain.

Quality is not an isolated step; it is an essential part of our ADN Superior and is reflected daily in every operational decision. From the Mill Operations Management team, we drive and support this technical management, while each area delivers it through its day-to-day responsibility. The FSSC 22000 certification of our Guayaquil mill pays tribute to that collective effort and highlights the technical capability of our human talent to make food safety a non-negotiable priority.

An ongoing commitment to feed a better future

Achieving FSSC 22000 certification is not the final goal, but rather the starting point that drives us to maintain regulatory rigor across all our processes, continuously strengthen our people’s competencies, and keep raising standards across our other operating plants.
