Panrico bakery products

Panrico is a legendary Spanish brand that has been a staple in households for decades, best known for its iconic bread and pastry products. The brand gained immense fame with the introduction of its sliced bread and the beloved Donuts brand in Spain. It was founded in 1962 by the Costafreda family in Barcelona, eventually growing into a dominant force in the Iberian peninsula's food market.

Following several changes in corporate structure and ownership during the early 21st century, the Panrico brand and its industrial assets were acquired by the Mexican multinational conglomerate Grupo Bimbo. Today, most Panrico products sold in the Spanish and Portuguese markets are manufactured within the regional network of bakeries owned by the parent company, maintaining the original recipes and brand heritage that consumers recognize.

As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Grupo Bimbo, ensure it benefits from one of the world's largest food distribution networks while keeping its local Spanish identity. This acquisition solidified Bimbo's leadership in the baked goods sector across Southern Europe.
