| Founded
in 1957, we are one of Chile's largest business conglomerates
with consolidated assets of approximately US$38 billion. We are the controlling entity of a number of leading industrial and financial services companies in diverse sectors of the Chilean economy. Throughout the years, we have successfully carried out our business strategy which focuses on brand and consumer franchise development. |
|
Our proven track record is based on our ability to identify business opportunities through our extensive business network, acquire a controlling interest and utilize it as a base to further build our interest in a given sector. In the past, many times Quiñenco has capitalized on its position by seeking add-on acquisitions or strategic partners, which contribute additional know-how and funding. |
|
Today, our main holdings include controlling interests in Banco de Chile, CCU and Madeco, companies whose products are known and used daily by millions of consumers. Sales of group companies reached of over US$4.0 billion in 2009.
We typically invest in companies that we perceive have high growth potential, in industries known by us. |
|
We differentiate ourselves from a mutual fund by owning controlling interests in our investments. In fact, today all of our holdings are in companies we either directly or indirectly control.
Quiñenco's shares are traded on the Chilean stock exchanges.
