Mexican fruit export leader, Coliman group, is celebrating 50 years in the industry, reaffirming its commitment to offering the best flavor, quality, and nutrition across its product line.


Founded in 1963, the company now exports to 11 countries and is opening distribution centers in several states of Mexico.



The export of bananas and avocados to the United States and Europe represents a substantial part of the company’s business, noted Jorge Aguilar Jr., Corporate Divisional Director. "The company was also one of the first to venture in to the Asian export market.


“We saw a very important niche in Asia. No one had ventured there."


"The group was born in the state of Colima, hence the name," Aguilar. "It was founded by my grandfather, Custodio Aguilar Malaga, 50 years ago, dedicated to banana and mango agricultural production.”

Jorge Aguilar Jr. attributes the group’s success to its quality control throughout the value chain: from planting and harvesting, to ensuring successful distribution.



"Our clients get advice on the proper management of the fruits: how to retain the quality and have good presentation, until it reaches the final consumer households. There may be other companies that offer the same products as us, but they don’t have the same quality control" he said.

In the future, Aguilar stated that as a third generation, he intends to continue the philosophy of values that his grandfather started. The company aims to target the central and eastern United States, areas which host a large Latino population. It also plans to double banana exports to Europe and open new distribution and marketing centers in southern Mexico.

“We will continue working to offer the best service and quality, strengthening its commitment to the families that choose our products in Mexico and all over the world," said Aguilar.

Congratulations on so many successful years in the industry!
