What Cremeria Americana Sa De Cv does

Cremería Americana S.A.P.I. de C.V. is a privately held Mexican food ingredients manufacturer founded in 1924 (with firmographic data also citing 1905), headquartered at Mártires de la Conquista No. 92, Col. Tacubaya, Mexico City. The company operates across nine core product categories: butters (Mantequilla Gloria, Gloria Gourmet Le Cordon Bleu, La Abuelita, Nonna), margarines (Untarella, San Antonio, Flor Americana, Adresso, Dalia), creams (Crema La Abuelita, Crema LeChef, Crema Gloria, Queso Crema Gloria), chocolates (Buena Gloria Alpezzi), baking mixes and bases (backaldrin brand), leavening agents and dough improvers (Mauripan, XXL Improver), baking supplies, and coffee (Café Cielo Abierto, Café de Coatepec). The company holds FSSC 22000 food safety certification (since 2017) across its Toluca, Guadalajara, and backaldrin Americas production facilities, has been recognized by CEMEFI as an Empresa Socialmente Responsable (ESR) for 19 consecutive years, and is a participant in the UN Global Compact.

The company serves four primary customer segments: artisanal bakeries (Panaderías, the primary segment), HORECA (hotels, restaurants, and caterers), industrial food manufacturers, and retail/SMB customers (tienditas and fondas). Revenue is generated through B2B distribution of food ingredients via company-operated distribution centers (sucursales) across Mexico and the United States, a dedicated industrial sales force, a direct-to-customer e-commerce storefront at cremeriaenlinea.com, and complementary technical services such as the TPA (technical baking support) program and the Centro de Capacitación Al Pan training center. The US market is served through San Antonio Bakery Solutions LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary based in College Park, Georgia.

The business model is a traditional sales-led, transaction-based food ingredients distribution and manufacturing operation with no disclosed pricing transparency and no public API or technology platform offering. Distribution is anchored on owned physical infrastructure (distribution centers and production plants), proprietary brand equity (over 100 years of heritage), and direct customer engagement via field sales, WhatsApp, and a Facebook presence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; product offerings span individual consumer sizes (e.g., 1 kg) through industrial bulk formats (20 kg), and the company does not appear to operate a software-, subscription-, or AI-driven business model.
