To a family with a long-established business tradition in the state of Sonora, Mexico: the renowned
Grupo Empresarial Sonorense GEMSO®.
As part of GEMSO®, Ganfer® Grupo Empresarial (Ganfer Business Group) inherited a system of principles and values solidly based on family well-being. Its new practical and dynamic vision is focused on developing new business ventures.
This was the beginning of our expansion into different economic sectors, such as design, construction, greenhouse cultivation with state-of the art technology, international franchising, real estate developments in Mexican and foreign cities and ventures into the agricultural and livestock sector, among others.
We are still a young and enterprising group and have remained together until we reach the goals we established at the beginning. We are firmly convinced that we will attain many more. This is why we work every day with new perspectives for development, our sights set on the ongoing consolidation of our growth, infrastructure, and technology and on generating new business opportunities so we can bequeath a solid economic platform to the next generations.
MISSION
We aspire to be a professional corporate group with ethics, values and an optimal technological-labor profile that serves our society. It generates well-being for our families, clients and collaborators by producing and offering high quality products and services in profitable and relevant services.
VISION
2017-2022
We visualize ourselves as the leading corporate group in Sonora that generates a high, sustainable economic and social value. We have also achieved a definitive, sustained increase in our profitability levels while also promoting agile and innovative strategic models to develop new business opportunities.
VALUES
We are open, honest and act with integrity. Because we know that our actions have an effect on other people, we focus our daily actions on the common good.
We define ourselves as a family business where working together produces general well-being. Our raison d’être is to provide great products and services to great clients.
Because our present-day situation inspires us to take actions based on results, we are always searching for new challenges and opportunities. We are agile, seek to simplify the chain of command and devote ourselves to take action instead of planning.
We work in compliance with our family spirit of innovation and continuous improvement, ensuring that our actions are based on our values that seek welfare and balance for everyone.
In order to provide more solutions and more results, we cultivate a creative and constantly challenging work atmosphere. Therefore, all our actions are focused on generating more benefits for the group.
Our philosophy as entrepreneurs is to always work by constantly searching for expansion and development opportunities to increase the capital’s economic productivity. We place special emphasis on the creation and promotion of ideas and strategies that contribute to social and community growth.
Ganfer® Grupo Empresarial generates well-being, not only to our partners and clients but also to everyone who in one way or another participates in our companies. We therefore encourage our people to pursue new challenges and fulfill their promises by contributing to the common good and to a better quality of life. This can be achieved through continuous training and recognition of the team’s efforts and results.
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Ganfer® Grupo Empresarial stems from an entrepreneurial vocation and a strong commitment to our community, where our company is perceived as the agent of change in our society.
Its roots are grounded in the Grupo Empresarial Sonorense Gemso®’s ample experience in our region, inspired by work, commitment and responsibility. These were the values we inherited from José Ramón Fernández Suárez, Gemso®’s founder, and the vision of Javier Gándara Magaña, our founder and chairman of the board.
Consequently, Ganfer® Grupo Empresarial stems from a synergy of family businesses that intend to remain and endure by creating a new approach to making the most of market opportunities. It consists of establishing sustainable, socially responsible companies that can live up to the requirements of an increasingly competitive and demanding economy.
The values that drive us are constant innovation, our commitment to excellence and responsibility to the environment and to the society where we live.
Likewise, our Ganfer® Grupo Empresarial philosophy calls for providing continual attention and training to our team of collaborators, striving to offer the best high-quality competitive conditions that our clients deserve.
Our business lines are directed towards high technology and innovation. One example is the installation of greenhouses in the states of Sonora, Querétaro, Colima and Guanajuato, in addition to the DQ® and Papa John’s® franchises in several states of our country.
All our companies are certified both nationally and internationally, a guarantee of our company’s quality standards, our excellence, social responsibility and commitment to the environment.
We are a young group, determined to take the lead and maintain a sustainable growth. We have ambitious goals and the conviction that we can reach them, providing wealth for our community as we create jobs and opportunities for our society.
We will keep on growing, creating new platforms for development, generating new business opportunities, developing our own technology and laying the foundation so that the next generations will feel proud of the legacy we will leave them.
Our commitment to society is reinforced by the Fundación Ganfer®, which, headed by our founder Marcela Fernández de Gándara, has been contributing to society through different programs that include culture, support for ethnic groups, addiction prevention and assistance to vulnerable groups. Furthermore, it has fostered and launched entrepreneurship and training programs to ensure them with a source of livelihood.
We cannot conceive of an economic growth without its commitment and solidarity in favor of a social counterpart.
LIC. JAVIÉR GÁNDARA MAGAÑA
Chairman of the Board
