HISTORY
ENABOLCO is a Diez de Medina Family Group Company that started with the initiative of Lic. Luis Federico Diez de Medina Ballivián, who ventured into the field of metallic constructions and steel profile manufacturing with an Industrial Plant in Quillacollo; where later his son, Eng. Luis Federico Diez de Medina Fernández de Córdova founded “ENABOLCO” on June 23rd 1982.
The history of the company is closely linked to its Founding Partner and current General Manager, who together with his five children: Luis Federico, Marcelo, Juan Pablo, María del Rosario and Juan José, which together form the ENABOLCO family company.
The founder Eng. Luis Federico Diez de Medina, had a lot of interest in engines and machines since he was 13 years old. Thanks to the opportunity that San Agustín school gave him in his technical training, automotive and industrial mechanic workshops which in addition to his study plan, he voluntarily occupied his free time in workshops qualifying at his 15 years of age to disassemble and assemble engines; such as the engine of the Lincoln 12 in line truck, which they had for engine practices. At this age he also bought his first motorcycle with his savings, money he accumulated since he was 11 years old by being a Mechanic, typewriter, assistant and collector of the Bolivian Hardware Store. He graduated as a Mechanical Engineer at the Federico Santa María University of Chile and obtained his postgraduate degree in Computer Aided Engineering at Hogeschool van Utrecht (Holland) and Universidad Mayor de San Simón.
After Concluding the Assembly of the COBOCE Cement Factory in 1972 he started his first sole proprietorship in his father's Hardware Store Warehouse. He invested USD 5,000 in his first machines, equipment and tools (welding machines, grinders, drills , saws, etc.). He began manufacturing protectors for windows, bars and gates; with a production of 12 Ton / year. Then he designed and manufactured lifts for ENDE Company used to cross the hills and obtain technical information for their hydrological instruments, as well as tanks and other metallic constructions.
Federico, in parallel to these undertakings was President of the Cochabamba Development Corporation (CORDECO), Municipal Councilor, President of the Federation of Entrepreneurs of Cochabamba FEPC and the Chambers of Construction and Industry, Director and Treasurer of Children’s Villages SOS (Aldeas Infantiles SOS), Director of ENDE and ELFEC, Professor and Director of the UMSS and the Technological Institute, participated as Partner and Manager in the Construction Companies CAI (Construction Architecture Engineering) and ALFA, with which he executed civil construction jobs, urbanizations and buildings such as Los Ceibos, El Profesional, Los Alamos and others.
The company, within the Corporate Social Responsibility, has participated in Solidarity Projects, such as the manufacture at cost of 1,000 rural houses for the victims of the Totora, Mizque and Aiquile earthquake, a successful program thanks to the modality of self-help with farmer communities, concluded in a record time of nine months.
