In November last year, vegconomist en español interviewed Aldo González, regarding his plans for further expansion into Mexico. He said at the time: “The opportunity is huge not only in Mexico but in all of Latin America. Our experience has been incredible! We are currently present in more than 800 points of sale nationwide including the most important retailers (Walmart, Costco, HEB, Chedraui, etc.) Our team is growing day by day and so is our footprint. We are very excited about the acceptance and connection that our products have had with all Mexican consumers. However, we are just starting and we are a Mission-Driven-Company. We believe that if we keep doing things, putting our values at the forefront, we will have more and more impact on humans and our planet.”
