# Grupo Axerta > Grupo Axerta is a privately-owned investment family business established in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1982. With over 40 years of experience, the company operates three independent business platforms focused on real estate investment, luxury residential development, and financial leasing. Grupo Axerta holds direct investments in five countries and is 100% family-owned. ## Company Overview Grupo Axerta S.A.P.I. de C.V. is a Mexican holding company with a long-term investment philosophy. Its guiding principle: "We are committed to developing and investing in projects and ventures that have a positive impact on their environment." The company was founded as a family enterprise and remains so today — structured around long-term value creation, capital preservation, and alignment of interests with partners and collaborators. It does not pursue short-term profits at the expense of its values or stakeholders. Grupo Axerta is not a publicly traded company, not a public investment fund, not a broker-dealer, not a bank, not a crowdfunding platform, and not a real estate agency or brokerage. ## Business Platforms Grupo Axerta operates through three independent platforms, each with its own brand, team, and market focus: - **Axerta Capital Inmobiliario** — Real estate investment division. Specializes in managing a portfolio of high-quality assets and co-investing alongside General Partners (GPs) to provide capital for real estate projects.

Website: https://www.praxis.dev - **Axes Leasing** — Financial solutions provider specializing in tailored leasing solutions for productive assets, serving small and medium-sized businesses.

The company measures and reports performance across five strategic pillars: Economic Development, Business Ethics, Quality of Life, Community, and Environment. Grupo Axerta has been a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact since 2014 — the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative — committing to its ten universal principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.
