Grupo Bimbo
Grupo Bimbo is the world's largest baking company: it makes bread, buns, cakes, cookies, tortillas and snacks in 249 bakeries in 39 countries and delivers them fresh to stores through more than 54,000 of its own routes.
Mexico is a third of sales but over half of profit.
Bimbo's home market earns far higher margins than its larger US business, funding expansion abroad.
