Grupo CIO is a family company in which tradition and modernity blend with perseverance and the ability to diversify our business and grow continuously. Since 1902, we have maintained our essence, with part of the Zamorano family leading the current trajectory of the Grupo CIO.
After our beginnings as a tobacco company, we now owe our solid growth to our capacity for innovation, flexibility and long-term focus. Native from the Canary Islands, like our capital, we are a benchmark company in the tourist, industrial, service and real estate sectors. All this has allowed us to be a source of direct and indirect job creation of great economic and social significance in the Canary Islands.
“We have managed for more than a century to create new opportunities and jobs, contributing to the dynamization of the Canary Islands’ economy”, Francisco Javier Zamorano, CEO
We are a holding company founded more than 100 years ago in the Canary Islands.
We create opportunities because we know when to invest in a dream.
Our projects start here, but they have no borders because we are global.
We have a long family tradition committed to excellence in service.
We respect our surroundings and promote social development, collaborating yearly with more than 100 solidarity initiatives and creating synergies with NGO’s and associations.
We are pioneers, because we have vision and innovation is in our DNA.
We manage our family’s talent, because teamwork makes us stronger.
We know that we still have a long way to go, which is why we are constantly evolving.
