You can trust on Impulsa Real Estate

Impulsa is one of the companies founded by Manuel J. Clouthier Del Rincón more than 40 years ago. This corporate group's main business areas are agriculture, real estate development, and printed media, primarily in the state of Sinaloa in Northwest Mexico.

Mr. Clouthier attended high school in the United States at a military school where he excelled as a student and as a football athlete. Here he quickly learned discipline, teamwork, and the democratic values of the United States' society.

To attend college Mr. Clouthier returned to the modern and industrial city of Monterrey, Mexico where he enrolled in the Agricultural Engineering program of the "Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey" (ITESM). It is here where his entrepreneurial spirit was born.

Mr. Clouthier returned to Culiacán, Mexico in 1958 to start his business career. He began vegetable and produce farming with his main production being exported to the United States. His farm, "Agrícola Paralelo 38", stood out for its productivity, quality products, social responsibility, employee benefits, and its environmental programs. The company was one of the first to distribute company earnings to its employees, the firm also instituted a health care system and built schools for its employees and families.

Parallel to his business activities, Mr. Clouthier was a community business leader and was nominated to several leadership roles. In the 1970's he was the elected Leader of Farmers of Culiacán, Sinaloa and he fought for the farmers’ land against the socialist government of Luis Echeverría. In the 1980’s, Mr. Clouthier was voted President of the largest business organization in Mexico and he struggled against the authoritative measures of the government of Jose Lopez Portillo when he expropriated the Mexican banking system. Maquio, as his friends called him, considered both of these actions to be attempts against freedom, these events influenced him to make the decision to become more politically involved and to strive for his Country and its democratization.

In 1986 he was candidate for Governor of the State of Sinaloa representing the political party PAN and in 1988 he was the candidate for President of Mexico representing the same political party against Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas. After the election and rumors of electoral fraud, Carlos Salinas de Gortari was pronounced the winner. Officially Mr. Clouthier obtained 17% of the vote or 3.3 million votes.

Today his son, Manuel Jesús Clouthier Carrillo, continues to strive for the same values of discipline and social responsibility as his father, and has consolidated the firm based on these values.
