Our Story
Our Journey
Production, employment and value. Every year, a new milestone.
A story that began with agriculture, grew through trade and matured with industry. The timeline below tells the milestones of a journey stretching from 1940 to today.
What the Years Taught Us
The years have taught us three things. First, the order of growth matters as much as its direction: we entered every sector carrying the discipline earned in the one before. Second, withdrawal is also a strategy: our planned exit from ready-mixed concrete in 2020 made today's position in mining and agriculture possible. Third, the most valuable asset is the one that can be handed down: combining a long-standing work ethic with corporate governance is why accumulated experience remains productive today.
