WHO WE ARE
We are a family-owned organization focused on the consistent and healthy growth of our partners and the joint assets we manage. Based on managerial and operational capacity and experience, we participate in different types of businesses, seeking the protection and growth of our capital in a comprehensive, efficient, and professional manner.
ORIGINS
GD holdings Inc. is a company that pools the operating investments of our family group. Carlos M. Paiz, our founder, began as General Manager of Almacenes Paiz in 1960. Almacenes Paiz grew under his administration to become La Fragua SA, the largest retail company in Central America, operating hundreds of stores and with more than 10,000 employees in the region.
Our group was actively involved in the retail operation for more than 50 years until its successful sale to Walmart in 2010. We joined in a merger with Banco Cuscatlán from 1990 to 2007, successfully selling it to Citibank.
The value of our family members’ experience and judgement is reflected in the growth and development of our group’s assets. Today we operate in multiple Central American companies, as well as serving on boards of directors abroad.
