What Bermudez Group does

Bermudez Group Limited is a privately held, family-owned packaged-food conglomerate headquartered in Mount Lambert, Trinidad and Tobago, organized around six manufacturing companies and two distribution companies that collectively employ over 3,000 people. The group's portfolio spans three core categories — cookies and crackers, snacks, and bread/cakes — under 28+ brand names including Bermudez Biscuits, Crix, Dixee, Kiss, Holiday Snacks, WIBISCO, JAMBISCO, Excelsior, Soldanza, and Nood. Operating subsidiaries include Bermudez Biscuit Company (Trinidad, est. 1923), Kiss Baking Company (Trinidad, est. 1976), Holiday Snacks (Caribbean-wide, acquired 1989), West India Biscuit Company (Barbados, est. 1850), Jamaica Biscuit Company (Jamaica, acquired 1999), and Alimentos Bermudez (Costa Rica, est. 2010).

The group manufactures biscuits, crackers, cookies, bread, cakes, pastries, popcorn, plantain and cassava chips, peanut and nut snacks, and microwave popcorn using conventional industrial baking and snack-processing lines. Products are sold under both flagship and regional heritage brands, with distribution handled through appointed distributors across Caribbean, Central American, North American (USA, Canada), and UK markets — WIBISCO exports to 24 markets and Holiday Snacks reaches 13 Caribbean markets.

The business model is straightforward branded-consumer-goods manufacturing: products are produced at owned facilities, priced for mass-market affordability, and sold via retailer relationships and third-party distributors. The group's primary customer segment is mass-market consumers seeking affordable everyday staples across the Caribbean and export markets, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or B2B contract structure. Bermudez Biscuit Company, Kiss, and Holiday Snacks anchor Trinidad operations while WIBISCO, JAMBISCO, and Alimentos Bermudez serve their respective national and regional markets, with cross-border export extending the group's effective reach across the Americas and into the UK.
