- Bakery relocation places Bimbo Bakeries USA’s headquarters in Irving, TX, moving from Pennsylvania.
- The shift supports operational efficiency and closer ties to parent Grupo Bimbo in Mexico City.
- Bimbo Bakeries USA employs 20,000 workers and operates 50+ plants nationwide.
- North Texas continues to attract major corporate relocations, outpacing other US metros.
Headquarters Shifts to Dallas-Fort Worth
Bimbo Bakeries USA, the parent behind popular brands like Sara Lee, Oroweat, and Entenmann’s, will now call Irving its new headquarters, reports Dallas News. The move from Horsham, PA marks another significant bakery relocation to North Texas, aligning with the company’s growth plans and centralizing corporate operations.
Operational and Strategic Rationale
The relocation brings Bimbo Bakeries USA’s executive leadership closer to Grupo Bimbo’s Mexico City base, streamlining decision-making and enabling faster integration. Company President Greg Koehrsen highlighted greater efficiency and ongoing investment in the region as key motivations behind the headquarters move. North Texas’ central location and robust talent pool were also decisive factors.
Industry Impact in North Texas
With 20,000 employees and more than 50 manufacturing sites, Bimbo Bakeries USA is a major player in US food production. The Dallas-Fort Worth market has emerged as a hub for corporate migration, gaining 11 out-of-state headquarters last year, according to CBRE. This surge reflects a broader pattern of companies repositioning operations to lower-cost, business-friendly regions. With deepened ties and infrastructure dating back to the late 1990s, Bimbo strengthens its regional presence as leadership transitions to the new Irving base.
