Rafael Aguayo opened Industrias Aguayo tile factory in 1948 . As decades passed , the company ’ s production line , and hence its catalogue , expanded by producing cinder blocks and other concrete units for construction . During the mid-1980s , Aguayo was already producing cobblestone and other kinds of paving stone , and also building retaining walls with innovative materials .
Industrias Aguayo ’ s role goes far beyond that of a supplier for infrastructure and aesthetic finishes for key building projects in the Caribbean region . The company has earned prizes and awards for being a leading enterprise in sustainability . The local Corripio Foundation rewarded Industrias Aguayo in the “ Entrepreneurship & Sustainable Enterprise ” category .
Industrias Aguayo is currently led by a thirdgeneration management team . It consists of Rafael Aguayo ’ s grandsons : Jorge and Raul Aguayo , CEO and CCO , respectively . Jorge , an industrial engineer , has worked in the family business for a longtime and also has experience in other trades and companies , and in the United States .
“ Grandpa died young . My father was 19 when he had to take care of business . Three years ago my father finally retired , so me and my brother Raul stayed in charge of the company ,”
