La family business it is one of the most important foundations of a prosperous society. Relationship of the Family businesses most important in Spain and a brief review of them.
ReedsFrancisco Ros Casares is the founder of the Ros Casares Group. Born in Vinalesa (Valencia) in 1926, Ros started out very humble, embodying the image of the self-made businessman. Thanks to his vision, he intuited the numerous changes that Spain was going to experience at the end of the 50s with the approval of the stabilization plan and the start of economic liberalization. Francisco Ros started with an iron warehouse in 1954 on Calle Císcar in Valencia. His business consisted of traveling to Bilbao and buying iron to resell it later from his warehouse.This small workshop/warehouse of 400 square meters was the origin of a true holding company for the distribution and transformation of metal, reaching more than 50 centers throughout the country. In addition to having subsidiaries in France and Poland that could distribute iron and steel, through different sectors such as the locksmith or the automobile industry. The real growth of the Ros Casares Group came in 1959, when the Francoist government lifted the ban on buying metal directly from state factories. That year, the profit of Ros Casares skyrocketed to 250 million pesetas (1,5 million euros). In the decades that followed, Ros maintained wholesale steel distribution and opened a line of stores dedicated to hardware. Thus, it was introduced in the transformation industry, the commercialization of machinery and the auxiliary automobile sector. Ros Casares achieved alliances with large Spanish groups, such as the Basque Aristrain, and international ones, such as Thyssen (1984). The Ros Casares Group progressively began to be directed by Francisco's sons (Francisco Juan and Germán Ros García) and was seriously affected by the crisis. Aristrain acquired 50% of the business in 1990, although the family would repurchase that 50% 8 years later from the Arcelor company. In addition, Francisco Ros Casares was very closely linked to Valencia CF, becoming president of the club in 1973. Although during his tenure he did not win any title, thanks to his management the Valencian club acquired the land of Paterna, where it built its current sports city. and also acquired the Godella Basketball Club, which was even renamed Ros Casares Valencia, reaching the elite of Spanish women's basketball, before disappearing in 2012.
