Aluvión de dividendos para el 'family office' de Jon Riberas

In the span of ten years, Ion Ion, the family office controlled by the president of Gonvarri Industries, has accumulated nearly €1.36 billion in dividends from the companies in which it participates. The sons of the founder of the industrial empire that gave rise to current Gestamp and Gonvarri, Francisco J. and Jon Riberas, continue to generate strong returns on their personal family offices.

Jon Riberas serves as the executive president of Gonvarri Industries and owns 50% of Acek Development and Management Industrial, through which he and Francisco J. Riberas control the family industrial conglomerate. Ion Ion manages the wealth of Jon Riberas, through various investments in sectors such as industrial, food, renewable energies, real estate, and fashion.

The family office of Gonvarri's executive president and vice president of Gestamp has received million-dollar dividends from the companies in which it invests, reaching a figure of €1.36 billion over the last ten years (between 2016 and 2025). At the end of the previous fiscal year, Ion Ion held stakes in companies valued at €1.004 billion, representing a significant increase of nearly 31% compared to the €766.9 million valuation of its investments in 2024, according to the company's accounts submitted to the Mercantile Registry.

These entities contributed €89.1 million to the family office of Jon Riberas in 2025, a significant improvement of 60% compared to the €55.6 million in 2024. Despite the strong increase in dividends over the past year, the figure is still far from the historical records recorded in previous years, with the lowest amount recorded in 2016 (€21.6 million), followed by the figure of €55.6 million in 2024.

The majority of the dividends received by the society come from majority-owned companies, with only €90,000 received from minority-owned firms. The vast majority of investments in companies by the family office of the younger Riberas siblings are concentrated in firms in which they own 50% of the shares, such as Acek, with €486 million in 2025, compared to €468 million the previous year.

The valuation of their stake in companies in which they have over 50% ownership is €188.7 million, while their percentage in minority-owned firms amounted to over €330 million at the end of 2025. In terms of net result, Ion Ion ended the previous year with €117.5 million, a figure that exceeds the €82.9 million of 2024 by 42%. Despite the significant increase in profit, the company did not distribute dividends to its shareholder with the 2025 net result, but rather allocated €112 million to voluntary reserves and €4.6 million to legal reserve.

Jon Riberas controls firms such as Aecon Investments, Glenbrock, Ribor Agrícola or Gold Iberia Capital, as well as having 50% ownership in Acek, Riorja Interiores, Bambri, Ribecast, or Jose & Jon Investments. Minor holdings include entities such as Quesos de Hualdo, Q-Living Real State, Agrícola la Veguilla, La Socimi All Iron, Atrys Health, or the fashion investment firm Scalpers.
