Wickbold is a leading Brazilian bakery brand, particularly known for its focus on healthy and whole-grain breads. The '100% Nutrição' line features specific ingredients like sunflower seeds and cashews (Girassol & Castanha) to appeal to health-conscious consumers. Founded in 1938 by German immigrant Henrique Wickbold in São Paulo, the company grew from a small bakery into a national powerhouse in the industrialized bread market.

Historically a family-owned Brazilian company, Wickbold reached a significant turning point in 2024 when Grupo Bimbo, the Mexican baking giant and world's largest bakery company, announced its acquisition. This move integrates Wickbold into Bimbo's global portfolio, though the manufacturing remains focused within Brazil to serve the local market using regional distribution networks.
