Since Hurricane María hit Puerto Rico on Sept. 20, 2017, Ardent Mills' sister company, Molinos de Puerto Rico, maintained milling operations for all but about four days, company executives confirmed.
Puerto Rican company Molinos de Puerto Rico was named “Manufacturing Company of the year 2017,” an award recently bestowed by the Puerto Rico Products Association.
Molinos de Puerto Rico, the Caribbean arm of Ardent Mills', the flour-milling and ingredient company, was honored in June with the “Manufacturing Company of the Year” award from the Puerto Rico Chamber of Food Marketing, Industry and Distribution (known as MIDA by its Spanish acronym.)
