From lubricants to leadership
across retail, real estate, and services.
Founded in 1984 under the name Grupo Lion, our company began as a specialized distributor in the lubricants sector, serving Costa Rica’s growing automotive and motorcycle industries. In the years that followed, Grupo Lion established a reputation for reliability, technical expertise, and customer trust.
Later acquired and restructured as Hidalgo Edwards & Co, the company expanded beyond lubricants to become a diversified holding group. Today, Hidalgo Edwards invests in Retail, Real Estate, and Services, developing brands that mobilize communities, transform urban landscapes, and enable businesses to embrace digital transformation. From our origins in lubricants to our current multi-sector presence, our journey reflects a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and long-term value creation.
