P.A.N. Harina de Maíz Blanco

P.A.N. is a global leader in the pre-cooked cornmeal market, most famous for its use in creating traditional arepas. Originally founded in Venezuela in 1960 by Empresas Polar, the brand revolutionized home cooking by simplifying the corn dough preparation process.

Today, while the brand maintains its deep Venezuelan identity, it is produced in several locations to meet international demand, including major facilities in Colombia and the United States. The brand is managed by Alimentos Polar, which operates as a business unit of the massive Empresas Polar conglomerate. It remains a privately-held family enterprise with operations spanning across the Americas and Europe.
