Snac World - November 2017 - 21

operates out of a 145,000-sq-ft facility with six production lines that make fried tortilla chips, pellet snacks
and taco shells. The operations carry certifications
ranging from Safe Quality Food level 3 compliance to
organic, non-GMO, gluten-free and more.
However, advancements don't stop there. Mr.
Gomez explained how the company will continue
adapting in the evolving snack category. "Continually
reinvesting in our people and equipment has kept
our business moving forward. To stay in step with
snack product trends, we've made investments largely
focused in the packaging area, diversifying and expanding our capabilities to handle a variety of flexible
packaging formats and sizes," he said.
Anita's is a relatively new, but active member of SNAC
International, having attended many educational and

networking events, most recently the Executive Leadership Forum in Colorado Springs, CO. Anita's also sponsored the Excellence in Sales and Marketing seminar
that took place last May. "We have been very grateful to
be a part of SNAC. We have found numerous opportunities networking with other members," Mr. Gomez
said. "More importantly, the educational sessions SNAC
provides have allowed fellow team members to benefit
in ways we could not have accomplished on our own."
Although Anita's has found sustained success from
its humble beginnings, the business stays true to its
traditional roots. The company culture can be described as "very much a family atmosphere" and one
that drives innovation and openly discusses ideas, Mr.
Gomez said. "Innovation has been the key to our success from the beginning," he noted.
