History

AGRANA is the world leader in the production of fruit preparations for the dairy industry.

AGRANA was founded in 1965 as SIAS MPA in France.

AGRANA Fruit Mexico S.A. DE C.V. was founded in 1981 as SIASPORT in the city of Zamora, Mexico. It started within the facilities of another company in the same sector as a subsidiary of SIAS MPA (France), later as Atys and currently as AGRANA. Ever since we have witnessed and participated in the growth of the dairy product market.

In 1982, Pernod Ricard takes over the management or SIAS, the worldwide leader in fruit preparations.

In 1990, AGRANA Fruit Mexico opens its own facilities in the city of Jacona, Michoacan, operating as a subsidiary of SIAS MPA under the name of SIASMEX, focusing on quality control policies in the purchasing departments, supporting other subsidiaries in the attention of a select group of clients worldwide.
