Overview

What happened Source facts

‎ Wonder Bakery produces fresh and frozen bakery products with annual production capacity of up to 50,000 tons BinDawood Holding Co. said it completed procedures to acquire 51% of UAE-based Wonder Bakery LLC and the consideration will be paid as agreed under the sale and purchase agreement (SPA), according to a statement to Tadawul. The regulatory measures related to the ownership transfer were also finalized, the statement added. The total value of the acquisition amounted to AED 114.8 million, adjusted in accordance with the SPA. The transaction will likely have a positive financial impact on the company and its shareholders over the long term. BinDawood Holding signed the SPA on Dec. 23, 2025, to acquire a 51% stake in the UAE-based company for AED 96.9 million, data compiled by Argaam showed. Incepted in 2014, Wonder Bakery is an industrial bakery based in Dubai. It manufactures and supplies a range of fresh and frozen bakery products to serve hotels, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, airlines, and many other FB businesses. Wonder Bakery operates a modern, advanced facility in Dubai Industrial City spanning 62,000 square feet, housing a factory capable of producing up to 50,000 tons annually of fresh and frozen baked goods, in addition to hot and cold kitchen products. The company supplies its products to markets across the GCC, including Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait, with plans for international expansion, reinforcing its position as one of the leading manufacturers of fresh and frozen baked goods.
