Grupo Empresarial Antioqueño

The Grupo Empresarial Antioqueño (GEA, Business Group of Antioquia) also known as Sindicato Antioqueño, is a Colombian conglomerate composed by around 125 companies,[1] most of them based in Antioquia Department.

Though, legally speaking, such an entity does not exist, it is commonly regarded as the first Colombian keiretsu.[2][3] It is "controlled" by four main companies: Bancolombia (banking), Grupo Argos (cement, power & infrastructure), Grupo Sura (insurance, financial), and Grupo Nutresa (processed food). The group, through these companies, has 10,000 shareholders.[1] GEA's 2007 income amounts to 5.5% of Colombia's gross domestic product.[4]

On 20230115 the Financial Times reported: 'Regulators are investigating whether the GEA is acting as an “economic group”.'[5]
