Bimbo Bakeries Ranked As Top PA Employer

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — Bimbo Bakeries has been ranked as one of the best employers to work for in Pennsylvania.

The company, known for its baked goods products and bread, has its headquarters in Horsham. It was founded in 1945.

Forbes ranked Bimbo Bakeries 31st on its list of the top 43 companies.

The best employer in Pennsylvania is Hershey-based Milton Hershey School, according to a new Forbes ranking released last Thursday.

Bimbo Bakeries makes a long list of name brands: Sara Lee, Thomas English Muffins, Boboli, Entenmann's, Arnold, Ball Park Buns and Rolls, Beefsteak, and Lender's Bagels, among others.

From the breakfast table to lunch boxes to family barbecues, Bimbo Bakeries USA's fresh, high-quality products have delighted Americans for generations.

It is the largest commercial baking company in the United States. Bimbo Bakeries USA is a proud part of Grupo Bimbo, the world’s largest baking company with operations in 35 countries.

Forbes’ 2025 ranking of America’s Best Employers By State is based on surveys of more 169,000 employees who work for a company of at least 500 within the United States.

They were asked on a scale of zero to 10 how likely they were to recommend their current employer, and also evaluate their workplace on such things as wages, parity, work culture, and paths to professional advancement, and whether their employer takes action on serious issues, such as sexual harassment.

The survey, conducted by market research firm Statista, also asked respondents to evaluate other recent employers and organizations they knew through their industry or through family and friends who work there.

The rankings are based on four years of survey data. Greater weight was given to the more recent data and to the responses from current employees within the state, Forbes said. Companies that received the highest scores in each state made Forbes’ final lists.

As in other years, companies in the health care, social services and education industries dominated the list. But employers from other industries were also prominent in multiple states, including retail giant Amazon (ranked in 33 states), transportation and logistics provider United Parcel Service (ranked in 25 states) and Bank of America (ranked in 25 states), according to Forbes.
