Present After the death of the founder Fortunato Brescia Tassano, in 1952, the leadership of the group was in the hands of his eldest son, Pedro Brescia Cafferata, with the support of his brother Mario. The two daughters of the patriarch, Rosa and Ana María, although with a much lower profile, also participated in making decisions. Pedro and Mario took the reins until they reached old ages and after their retirement (Mario passed away in 2013 and Pedro, who had retired a few years earlier, in 2014), the management was left in the hands of the third generation of the family. Although the family tradition dictated that Pedro leaves the management to his eldest son, he had no offspring, so a process of transfer and development of family protocols began. Consequently, the current management of the group is in charge of a steering committee made up of four members of the third generation, who act by consensus and maintain the tradition of the founders."
