With the purchase, which includes four manufacturing plants, this company will double the business size of its unit in Mexico, triple its routes to market and increase its position in the main snack categories.

Between 1963 and 1978, Bimbo had a great expansion and diversification. In addition to the opening of eight additional plants in different states of the Mexican Republic, the existing plants were expanded and other additional pastry lines were integrated to those offered by Productos Marinela.

Likewise, it ventured into the candy and chocolate industry, with the establishment of the first Ricolino plant, and in the salty snacks market, with what is now known as Barcel.

At that time, practically all the states of the country were covered through Bimbo’s direct distribution system.

Then, in April 2000, Bimbo, through Ricolino, opened two plants in the European Union, one in Vienna, Austria, and the other in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

On November 1, 2019, Barcel spun off the confectionery business, arising as a result of the Ricolino Products spin-off.

Mondelēz International faces competition in all aspects of its business. Competitors include large multinationals as well as many local and regional companies, including new brands and start-ups.
