More than sixty years of business activity in the Canary Islands.
The company
Invertia does not distribute, transport or host. Its role is to be where ownership is held and where the horizon is set. The companies operate. The holding governs.
- Domains
- Distribution, logistics, hospitality and portfolio
- Registered office
- Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
- Governance
- Board of directors

Three domains under one ownership.
The holding gathers the family's activity into three domains: a distribution and logistics group, a hospitality project and a portfolio of shareholdings. Each moves at its own pace; none is managed apart from the rest.
Its core activity is management consultancy, the administration of securities and the management of corporate shareholdings.

The trade
An import business built by hand in an archipelago where almost everything arrived by sea. And, in the middle of it, the place the family returns to.
The oldest thread
Cadiex places in this year the origin of the activity still alive inside the group today.
Las Gaviotas
The founder acquires a rural estate in Vega de San Mateo and names it Las Gaviotas — The Seagulls: a sign at the entrance showing four seagulls taking flight, one for each of his daughters. Forty years later it becomes Karibu.
Comercial J. Galarza
Distribution stops being a personal trade and starts being an organisation.
2010 — 2016
The structure
Ownership stops being dispersed and takes a single shape. The group grows by simplifying.
Invertia is incorporated
On 20 January, Galarza Invertia, S.L. is incorporated as a holding company.
Consolidation
Invertia absorbs Regional de Comercio Redeco, S.L. Fewer companies, more order.
2022 — 2026
The present
What was built inwards over sixty years begins to open outwards.
Institutional presence

Three generations, one path.
Joaquín Galarza founded the house. His four daughters govern it today from the board of directors, and the third generation already takes part in its governing bodies.

How decisions get made.
Mission
To administer the Galarza family's assets with a single criterion: that the companies within it can go on operating with independence, solvency and roots in the Canary Islands long after those who run them today.
Vision
A family structure able to carry generational succession without interrupting the business; growing through consolidation and judgement rather than accumulation, and still measuring its decisions in decades.
- Continuity
- Decisions are made with the next generation in mind, not the next financial year. It is the only real advantage a family business has, and it is not delegated.
- Rootedness
- The Canary Islands are not a market to operate in: they are where everything was built. The distance from the mainland and from the African continent is not an obstacle to the business; it is its starting condition.
- Discretion
- Family assets are administered, not displayed. What is made public is what can be supported with documents.
