Santo Domingo vs Ardila Lülle: la guerra que definió el poder empresarial en Colombia

Two of Colombia's most powerful empires clashed in a corporate war that few understand… but which changed the country forever. The Santo Domingo family built one of Colombia's largest business groups through vision, negotiation… and seemingly impossible decisions. But their story cannot be understood without their biggest rival: the Ardila Lülle group. In this video, I'll tell you how they went from importing rice and selling Águila beer in Barranquilla to controlling Bavaria, engaging in a direct war with Ardila Lülle, and starring in one of the most intense power battles in industries like beer, soft drinks, television, and Colombian soccer. This wasn't just about competition… There were secret agreements, business betrayals, masterstrokes, and billions of pesos at stake. You'll also understand how this story ended with the sale of Bavaria to SABMiller and the group's evolution toward new ventures like D1 and the Four Seasons Cartagena.
