Bimbo Bakeries, based in Horsham, Pa., announced it will move its headquarters to Texas where the company started in 1998.
Officials with the company said the strategic move positions the company for greater alignment and long-term growth across its U.S. operations. The company will move its corporate headquarters to Dallas, Texas, where it will be in closer proximity to Grupo Bimbo’s global corporate office in Mexico City.
“Our commitment to baking and delivering the highest-quality, nutritious and delicious baked goods and snacks to our customers remains our top priority,” Greg Koehrsen, Bimbo Bakeries’ president said. “Relocating our headquarters to Dallas positions us to operate more efficiently as we continue to invest in our brands and our communities.”
Bimbo is the largest bakery company in the country, and Dallas is a significant market for the company, with multiple bakeries, sales centers and distribution facilities established across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The region also offers a strong business environment, the company said, as well as access to a diverse talent pool and infrastructure.
“Texas was our first home and played a defining role in our early history. We’ve built a strong presence here over the years, and this region remains central to who we are today. We’re looking forward to deepening those roots as we grow and continuing to support the communities that have supported us,” Koehrsen said.
The company began in Texas in 1998 when Grupo Bimbo purchased Mrs. Baird’s Bakery. Today the company’s senior leadership team and many other positions are already working in the new headquarters in Irving, Texas.
“We are deeply grateful to the greater Philadelphia community. The Philadelphia area was our home for 17 years, and we will always appreciate the important role it has played in our journey,” he said.
