Lefix Y Asociados

What Lefix Y Asociados does

Lefix Y Asociados is a privately held Mexican food-industry services firm headquartered in Coyoacán, Mexico City, founded in 1992. It serves Mexican food manufacturers, processors, hospitality operators, and food-science students with three integrated offerings: implementation consulting for international food-safety management systems (HACCP, FSSC 22000, BRC, SQF, ISO 22000); instructor-led training delivered both in-person and live-online via Microsoft Teams; and specialized equipment distribution and laboratory calibration accredited by Mexico's EMA (Entidad Mexicana de Acreditación). The firm additionally conducts thermal-process validation studies for canned and aseptically packaged foods. Named corporate clients include Sukarne, La Florida, La Morena, and Valle Redondo.

The company differentiates through a portfolio of hard-to-replicate authorizations: it is an authorized training provider for the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG), the FDA-recognized Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA), and the International HACCP Alliance. Founder Marco Antonio León Félix carries 30+ years of food-safety experience and personally holds the international instructor credentials required to deliver these regulated courses. Adjacent lines include distribution of Kikkoman ATP luminometers and other instrumentation, plus a founding-partner role in SOMEICCA A.C., the Mexican Association of Food Science and Technology, which embeds the firm in the country's food-science institutional network.

The revenue model is a hybrid of open-enrollment individual courses (MXN $1,800–$6,890, USD $460–$1,900 per seat), corporate contracted training, project-based consulting engagements, equipment and consumable sales, and recurring EMA-accredited calibration services. Operating with 1–10 employees, the firm operates as a specialized micro-SMB with founder-led execution, no external funding, and no parent-company or subsidiary structure.
