Our story begins in 1914 with Calkins & Burke LTD in Vancouver Canada, a company which is at the forefront of the food industry in the world. In 1993, due to the need of growth, it arrives to Mexico.
Calkins, Burke and Zannie de México, begins operations by developing and marketing food products. Launching the brand “Corina” for the wholesale and retail market, together with “Astra”, a brand for the institutional sector or food service industry. Their success gives way to the development of private labels in the supermarket business.
With the consolidation of our own brands (Corina, Astra, and others), along with the organic growth of a strong commercial relation with big Mexican clients and the need of fast adaptation, CBZ, assumes autonomous operations and it is reborn. Today, we consider ourselves as a 100% Mexican company, proud of its origins.
With an extensive family of own brands and private labels, the values contributed by each one of them, give us the confidence to know that we are satisfying our customers in all aspects. We seek in the face of all adversity, the continuous improvement in our operational process, the implementation of good practices and the inclusion of our staff in an adhocratic manner.
With more than 25 years of constantly enhancing commercial relationships, the option of improving ourselves as a whole, is one our everyday work routines that we like to strengthen the most. We find in our collaborators, the path of loyalty to our consumers, which makes our service, an integral one with values and ethical standards.
