Grupo Bimbo today (22 June) confirmed it has struck an agreement to buy parts of Spanish bakery company Panrico.
Reports in Spain had suggested over the weekend and earlier today a deal had been reached, although neither company – nor Panrico's private-equity owner Oaktree Capital Management – had commented publicly.
