Grupo Werthein
Family holding company operating television, insurance, food, healthcare, and real-estate businesses.
Grupo Werthein operates a diversified portfolio of businesses across six sectors: technomedia, insurance, agribusiness, real estate, food and beverages, and healthcare. Its technomedia arm runs DirecTV, Sky Brasil, and streaming services across Latin America through Vrio Corp.
Its insurance businesses operate under the Experta ART and Experta Seguros brands, while its food and beverages division markets brands such as Cachamai. The group's healthcare and real estate arms round out a portfolio built through decades of acquisitions and organic growth.
Grupo Werthein is deepening its media and technology positioning through Waiken ILW, a holding launched in 2025 to consolidate its technomedia and digital ventures. The group disclosed roughly US$40 million in investments channeled through the new vehicle.
The launch followed an alliance with Amazon and signals an expansion beyond traditional pay-television into streaming, connectivity, and digital services. Management has framed the strategy around consolidating Grupo Werthein's role as a leading Latin American mediatech conglomerate.
Grupo Werthein leverages nearly a century of operating experience across a diversified portfolio spanning technomedia, insurance, agribusiness, real estate, food and beverages, and healthcare. Its ecosystem serves more than 42 million users with approximately 60,000 collaborators.
As a private family holding, the group deploys patient, long-term proprietary capital rather than chasing short-term public-market returns. Its ownership of DirecTV's Latin American business through Vrio Corp. makes it a leading regional pay-television and media operator.
