Quaker Oats (Avena)

Quaker Oats, widely known as 'Avena Quaker' in Spanish-speaking regions, is one of the world's most iconic grain brands. Founded in 1901 following the merger of four oat mills, the brand has its roots in Ravenna, Ohio, United States. Over the decades, it has expanded its product line from simple rolled oats to a variety of breakfast cereals, snacks, and ready-to-eat products.

In terms of manufacturing, Quaker operates a massive global supply chain. While its primary mill in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is one of the largest in the world, the product is manufactured in numerous countries across Latin America, Europe, and Asia to serve local markets. In 2001, The Quaker Oats Company was acquired by PepsiCo, making it a cornerstone of the global food and beverage giant's nutrition portfolio. Today, PepsiCo continues to manage the brand's distribution and production worldwide.
