Grupo Bimbo Company Description
Do not take this Bimbo lightly. In Mexico, where pan Bimbo is synonymous with soft, white sandwich bread, Grupo Bimbo is that country's largest commercial baking operation and one of the top bakers in the world as well. Grupo Bimbo produces bread, cookies, and tortillas under the Tia Rosa, Bimbo, and Marinela brands. It also makes snack foods under the Barcel brand and candies under the Ricolino brand. Not content with dominating the Latin American bread markets, the company owns Texas-based Mrs. Baird's and Bimbo Bakeries USA, both of which serve the southwestern US. The company is majority-owned by the Servitje family, which founded it in 1945 and named it for the bear in the company logo.
