BIMBO from Mexico are going to make Twinkies. The world is safe from union destruction once again.
Unless they’re bought out by venture capitalists like Hostess was. Then BIMBO will be extracted of it’s wealth and “labor costs” used as a scape goat for the company going into bankruptcy, just as with Hostess.
Bimbo is big. Just some of the bramds they sell: Nutrella, Sara Lee, Fargo, Lactal, Silueta, Ortíz, Eagle, Sara Lee; Thomas’ English Muffins; Entenmann’s pastries; Arnold’s, Orowheat, Freihofer’s; Stroehmann’s; Brownberry; Old Country; Milpa Real and Tia Rosa (tortillas and related products); Barcel (chips and salted snacks; Marinela (sweet snacks); Boboli (pizza crusts); Coronado (cajeta) and El Globo fancy pastry and coffee shops.
Wow. I had never heard of Grupo Bimbo . . . but it is “the most important baking company in brand and trademark positioning, sales, and production volume around the world”.
Looks like revenue down sharply 3rd Q 2012, but only because it has just finished ‘digesting’ its acquisitions of Sara Lee and Fargo Bread – Argentina., in preparation for more growth.
Yep, always nice to have a company standing in the wings ready to take over and move your product off shore (or at least across the border into a non-union shop).
Oh and I think Ima let her troll face slip there for a second.
Joe Heller has been the staff editorial cartoonist for the Green Bay Press-Gazette since 1985. His cartoons appear in more than 350 publications, making him the most self-syndicated cartoonist in the nation.

I’m allergic to dairy. Hostess uses dairy in all their products while turkeys have no dairy. It’s a no-brainer for me; turkey day it shall remain.
