Mexican Grupo Bimbo S.A.B. de C.V., the world’s largest baked goods company which is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and Barry Callebaut, a manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products, announced the renewal of their long-term agreement. The outsourcing agreement, originally signed in 2012, covers chocolate products for Bimbo’s domestic market Mexico. The extended strategic supply agreement includes distribution to Grupo Bimbo in several countries in Central America, the U.S., Canada, and Uruguay, and enables both companies to continue to drive strategic, long-term growth globally.
"We are pleased to extend our strategic relationship with Barry Callebaut, who has been a partner to our business for the last years, and we look forward to their support of continued sustainable growth and accomplish our mission of nourishing a better world," said David Hernandez, chief procurement officer (CPO) for Grupo Bimbo.
