About Búfalo
Búfalo is a Mexican hot sauce and olive brand that Grupo Herdez gained by acquiring Grupo Búfalo in 1991, the same year the company listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange; Herdez says the deal brought innovation in glass-jar packaging. In 2015 Mexico's industrial property institute IMPI declared Búfalo a famous brand. It is held through Herdez Del Fuerte, owned equally with Grupo KUO.
