Innovation

WHAT IS INNOVATION FOR ARCOR?

Since Arcor Group's inception, innovation was always in its DNA. Arcor is the result of the dream of a group of young pioneers who, with entrepreneur spirit, created a candy factory, and made it a leading multinational group. To achieve this, innovation has always been present in each step. Innovation in the first manufacturing processes, in launching new products and vertical integration, in developing new businesses and strategic alliances, and in creating a retail distribution model considered world-class.

Furthermore, innovation is applied from its development of consumer food products in the field, ranging from packaging and raw materials and agro-industrial products the Group itself produces.

The innovation of new products is not only present in the development of consumer food products, but also in materials and raw materials the Group itself manufactures.

Arcor’s Award to Innovation

Arcor's Award to Innovation arises in 2009 to reaffirm its commitment towards the industry's development and the promotion of scientific and technological activities of the country. Furthermore, it seeks to foster innovation and technological development to translate them into increased productivity and competitiveness in the food industry sector, better living conditions and social situation of communities. It also seeks to acknowledge and encourage the talent and entrepreneurial attitudes and contribute to the relationship between science and the industry.
