Alimentos Polar Harina P.A.N.

Alimentos Polar is the food division of Empresas Polar, a major Venezuelan industrial conglomerate. The brand is most famous for Harina P.A.N., a pre-cooked corn flour that is a staple in Venezuelan and Colombian cuisine.

Starting from its origins in Caracas in the 1940s, the company has expanded its manufacturing footprint significantly due to growing international demand and economic shifts. Today, while it maintains a strong presence in Venezuela, it operates large-scale production facilities in Colombia and Texas, USA, to supply global markets. The company remains privately held by the Mendoza family, maintaining its status as one of Venezuela's largest and most recognizable private enterprises.
