Bimbo Bakeries to Close South Sioux City Plant, Last Vestige of Metz Baking

SOUTH SIOUX CITY — Bimbo Bakeries will shutter its South Sioux City plant in October, eliminating 81 jobs and severing the last link to a baking company with a 127-year-old history in the metro area.

Bimbo Bakeries, part of Mexico City-based Grupo Bimbo, said it will shift production at its 3723 Dakota Ave. in South Sioux City to other plants.

In 2014, Bimbo closed its Sioux City bakery at 1500 Highway 75 North, cutting 64 positions.
