Donuts snack

The brand 'Donuts' refers to a specific line of commercially packaged snacks, most famously produced and trademarked by the Spanish bakery firm Panrico. Founded in 1962 by Andreu Costafreda, the brand became a cultural icon in Spain, known for its distinct ring-shaped pastries. For many years, the presence of this trademark forced international chains like Dunkin' Donuts to operate under different names (such as Dunkin' Coffee) within the Spanish market.

In 2016, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when Panrico was acquired by Grupo Bimbo, the Mexican multinational that is currently the largest baking company in the world. Today, the Donuts brand is managed under Bimbo's extensive global portfolio. Manufacturing occurs primarily in Spain and across various Grupo Bimbo facilities globally to serve regional markets, maintaining the original recipe's legacy under modern corporate stewardship.
