Grupo Bimbo is the Wonder Bread of Mexico – and much more:
Its Horsham-based Bimbo Bakeries USA division has taken over Arnold, Boboli,
Brownberry, Entenmann’s, Freihofer’s, Stroehmann, Thomas’ English Muffins, and
other supermarket breads and cakes to become one of the biggest U.S. baking
chains.
This Bimbo is no pushover: Its attorneys at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius L.L.P. last
week persuaded a federal judge in Philadelphia not to let a Bimbo executive move
to rival Hostess.
According to a Feb. 9 opinion by U.S. Judge R. Barclay Surrick, Bimbo executive
Chris Botticella last fall accepted a job offer at rival Hostess Brands Inc.
(formerly Interstate Bakeries Corp.), which makes Twinkies, among other sticky
junk food.
