The Story of Lucas Candies

In 1986, brothers Hugo and Alejandro Martinez began producing a candy from the pulp of the Tamarind fruit called Rico Pelo Loco. It became such a sensation in Mexico that the Martinez brothers began producing over 200,000 units a month, which led them to create the company called Alitec and the Lucas brand a year later. Lucas Acidito was their most famous product for years: a lemon-flavored chili powder that was a huge stepping stone for the growth of the business. Through the years, Lucas created revolutionary products never before seen in the industry and became an iconic brand for spicy candies. The company's greatest accomplishment came in 2001 when their products became widely sold in new continental markets such as North and South America, Europe and Asia. This caught the attention of a company called Grupo Mars Inc., who eventually acquired the Lucas brand and gave them a chance to expand and grow. Today the company is known across the globe as Mars and has been distributing their products with great success, implementing high-quality, efficient techniques in the manufacturing and distribution of every product.
