The Tortilla Industry Association (TIA) has once again raised the stakes for its strategy of focusing on the fastest-growing geographies in the fastest-growing sector of the baking business—tortillas recorded $12 billion in sales last year and are overtaking white sandwich bread as the nation’s preferred food-delivery platform—by placing its bets on Southern California as the destination for its 2016 Annual Convention & Trade Exposition.
Consumer trends continue to spur tortilla and tortilla chip manufacturers to create products that are better-for-you, innovative, versatile and flavorful.
A luxurious new venue, education sessions, exhibitors and plenty of networking and social opportunities await attendees at the 2016 Tortilla Industry Association (TIA) Convention & Trade Exposition in Southern California on May 18–19.
The specialty snack company has invested $22 million in a new facility in Kingsport, TN. It also has acquired Guiltless Gourmet baked tortilla chips from the Manischewitz Co.
