Juan José Thuemme is a visionary leader in the natural ingredients industry, driving innovation and sustainability through his work at Etadar. Under his leadership, the company has redefined clean-label standards by sourcing natural extracts and developing high-quality, minimally processed flavors.

This commitment to transparency and quality has positioned the company at the forefront of the global food and beverage sector.

Collaboration has been a key driver of Etadar’s success. One of the company’s standout achievements was the development of a tequila flavor extender in partnership with an international tequila producer. By integrating natural chemical components from the distillation process, Etadar created a high-quality, all-natural extender that enhanced production efficiency without compromising authenticity. Similarly, the company has pioneered the development of traditional Mexican beverages, including hibiscus drinks, horchata, and tropical fruit blends. Its expertise extends to crafting natural extracts for alcoholic beverages such as tepache, tequila, and mezcal-based cocktails, all while ensuring compliance with U.S. export standards.

Navigating regulatory complexities is a cornerstone of Etadar’s operations. With a dedicated compliance department, the company rigorously follows guidelines set by COFEPRIS and the FDA, ensuring all formulations meet clean-label standards before entering the market. This meticulous approach allows Etadar to maintain the highest quality standards while expanding its footprint in international markets like Texas and California. Sustainability also plays a crucial role in the company’s strategy, with a strong focus on ethical sourcing and cost-effective supply chain management. By working with leading global biotech suppliers and maintaining a robust inventory of premium natural ingredients, Etadar continues to uphold its commitment to environmental responsibility.

In a competitive market flooded with claims of natural products, Etadar stands out by prioritizing authenticity and transparency. While many companies in Mexico rely on artificial and nature-identical flavors, Etadar remains steadfast in delivering true natural ingredients, particularly for its U.S. exports. Juan José Thuemme envisions a future where clean labels become the industry norm rather than the exception.
