The conglomerate is led by Andrés I. Gómez Martínez, who debuted this year in the ranking of ‘The 100 most important businessmen in Mexico’, prepared by Expansión. The firm has a portfolio of 20 leading international brands globally, including: Calvin Klein, Coach, Guess, Nike, or Tommy Hilfiger, and operates 5,562 points of sale in Mexico and Chile, 14 digital stores and the Privalia platform. .
The third company that prospered the most in the last 10 years was Prolec, specialized in the manufacture of electrical transformers for the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, a subsidiary of Grupo Xignux, which advanced 113 positions, going from place 280 to 167.
In recent years, Prolec has sought to expand its presence in the United States and Latin America led by Eugenio Garza Herrera, its owner. In May 2020, the company expanded its Joint Venture with General Electric to all of America, adding to its portfolio the Shreveport plant in Louisiana, United States, and the Canoas plant in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
In addition to this, in October 2021 the company completed the purchase of SPX Transformer Solutions, one of the leading companies in the distribution and power transformer market in the United States, with which it seeks to expand its offer and presence in that country.
This small group of companies has managed to increase their sales level and advance positions among the largest companies in the country, despite having faced serious operational and financial challenges due to the pandemic. The rebound in consumption, production, exports and the adoption of technology have prolonged their growth, and only time will tell if they will maintain the same pace in the next 10 years.
