Family Succession in the Steel Industry: The Inhierro Case with the Garza family

In this episode of Líderes de Acero, Jose Cosculluela talks with Luis Garza and his children, Huitzil and María del Mar, about the story of Inhierro, a family business with more than 40 years of history in Colombia and a benchmark in steel structures.

The conversation covers the challenges of generational succession, the value of accumulated experience and the role each family member plays in this new chapter.

They also reflect on the current Colombian market, the importance of working together as a sector and the balance between tradition and innovation.

In this episode we talk about:

• What it is like to hand over from one generation to the next in a family business.
• What it means to empower young people to lead and innovate.
• Why financial sustainability and internal communication are key to growth.

“Succession wasn't an imposed decision, it was a natural process.”

“There is no legacy without openness to change.”
