Bimbo Pan Blanco (White Bread)

Bimbo is one of the most iconic bakery brands in the world. Originally founded in Mexico City in 1945 by Lorenzo Servitje and his partners, it has grown from a local bakery into the largest baking company on the planet. The brand, famous for its 'Osito Bimbo' (Bimbo Bear) mascot, is synonymous with sliced white bread in many Spanish-speaking countries.

Today, the brand is owned by Grupo Bimbo, a global food behemoth headquartered in Mexico. While the brand has Mexican roots, Bimbo has a massive manufacturing presence across Europe. In the Iberian Peninsula, Bimbo España operates several production plants, meaning the bread sold in Spanish supermarkets is typically manufactured locally within Spain to ensure freshness. The company continues to expand its global footprint through numerous acquisitions of local bakery brands worldwide.
