Bimbo held a ground-breaking ceremony for the project last week. It said the site, on which it is spending MXN2.3bn (US$128.4m), would improve productivity and efficiency.

Construction will take 18 months, Bimbo added.

Bimbo has enjoyed growing sales in Mexico, its domestic market, in recent quarters. In the first half of 2017, Bimbo’s Mexican net sales rose almost 12% with the company reporting higher volumes “across most categories and channels” when it filed its group financial results in July.
