MUECAS

What MUECAS does

MUECAS (legal entity Muecas Alimentos S.R.L.) is an Argentine healthy food company headquartered in the City of Buenos Aires, operating a portfolio of cereal bars, a co-branded protein bar with SportClub, and a 71% cacao dark chocolate bar. The brand is built on a real-ingredient formulation philosophy — oats, dehydrated fruits, nuts, pure cocoa, seeds, and grape must as a natural sweetener — explicitly positioned against artificial additives and ultra-processed syrups typical in the conventional snack-bar category. The current portfolio includes five core cereal bar SKUs (Pasas & Arándanos, Manzana & Arándanos, Pasas & Almendras, Banana & Dulce de Leche, Cacao & Avellanas), the Barra Proteica Muecas x SportClub, and the Chocolate 71% cacao almendras & sal, sold both singly and through multi-unit packs and combo bundles (16, 32, or 48 units, plus a 2025 Pack x5 launch).

The business operates a hybrid D2C-plus-distribution model. The official e-commerce store (muecas.com.ar, hosted on Mitienda Nube) serves as the primary direct channel with subscription/recurring delivery options, free shipping above a threshold, and accepts Mercado Pago and installment credit/debit payments. Wholesale distribution covers roughly 10,000+ points of sale across Argentina, including 500+ dietéticas, gas station chains (YPF, Shell, Axión Farmacity), supermarkets (Jumbo, Disco), kiosks (Open 25), SportClub gym locations, and digital marketplaces (Mercado Libre, Rappi Turbo, Pedidos Ya). However, also described as selling direct to consumer. The company is privately held, founder-operated, with no disclosed external funding, no AI/ML infrastructure, and a 31-employee headcount concentrated in brand, operations, and distribution.
