In the heart of Estepa, a town in Seville traditionally known for its mantecados, one of the most inspiring business stories in the wellness sector and the new food economy has blossomed. Aurora Intelligent Nutrition (AIN) embodies the transformation of a family bakery founded in 1939, Mantecados La Aurora, into a global company dedicated to advanced nutrition, technological innovation and holistic wellness.
Under the leadership of Fernando Moreno Cáceres, grandson of the founders, AIN has gone from kneading sweets to designing nutritional solutions that are now consumed in more than 39 countries. The company is an example of how an artisanal tradition can evolve into a cutting-edge model, where science, health and sensory pleasure combine to shape so-called "smart nutrition".
Aurora Intelligent Nutrition is not just a manufacturer. Its 360º philosophy encompasses the entire product creation process, from scientific formulation and regulatory advice to packaging design and final manufacturing. This comprehensive model enables the development of food supplements and customised formulas that combine efficacy, safety and exceptional taste, a direct legacy of its bakery origins.
From its headquarters, AIN coordinates an industrial infrastructure of more than 32,000 square metres, three production plants and a team of 420 specialised professionals. Its commitment to R&D&I is the cornerstone of a business strategy that combines sustainability, innovation and health. The company collaborates with universities, technology centres and research entities, integrating applied science at every stage of its production process.
Aurora Intelligent Nutrition has become a European benchmark in the manufacture of functional bars, gummies, capsules, tablets, gels, creams and soluble powders, adapted to the needs of each client and market. Its catalogue, developed for "Private Label" brands, responds to the growing demand for products that provide well-being, performance and advanced nutrition.
With a turnover of 36 million euros and a consolidated presence in Europe, Asia and America, AIN represents the new paradigm of conscious food: products designed based on scientific evidence, technology and respect for human and planetary health.
Its commitment to quality translates into rigorous international certifications (IFS Food, GMP, FSSC 22000, SMETA, Halal and Vegan), which guarantee the traceability, safety and excellence of each formula.
But the project goes beyond the business sphere. Through the Aurora Intelligent Nutrition Foundation, the company promotes training in artificial intelligence and STEM disciplines among young Andalusians, fostering local talent and the development of scientific vocations.
"Aurora is the example of how a family business can evolve into a global leader without losing its roots. Our strength lies in knowledge, technology and people."says CEO Fernando Moreno.
Aurora Intelligent Nutrition is, today, a symbol of the new era of wellness: one that understands nutrition as science, innovation as purpose and tradition as essence. From Andalusia, this company demonstrates that the future of health begins in the way we nourish body, mind and industry.
