Grupo Bimbo Acquires Balkan Bakery Group Don Don
Mexico’s Grupo Bimbo, the world’s largest bakery company, has acquired Slovenian-based bakery group Don Don, which has a strong presence in the Balkans.
Don Don will lead Grupo Bimbo’s expansion into Central and Southern Europe, a region where the Mexican giant has yet to establish a significant foothold.
The acquisition will enable Don Don to leverage Grupo Bimbo’s global reach, to further expand its presence across its existing markets, including Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia, with exports to Kosovo, North Macedonia, Greece and Slovakia.
In Slovenia, Don Don operates two production facilities – one in Kranj, and one in Grosuplje – and owns the brands Tvojih 5 Minut and Pekarna Grosuplje.
The company employs over 2,400 people and generated €190 million in sales in 2023 – an 8% year-on-year increase – with net profit nearly doubling, to €21 million.
With this acquisition, Grupo Bimbo will expand its geographic presence to 39 countries and its customer base. The consolidated group plans to invest in advanced technology facilities, strategic partnerships, and acquisitions in key markets.
While the exact value of the transaction and the specific details of the partnership have not been publicly disclosed, both companies are expected to meet the necessary conditions within the next five months.
