An American conglomerate based in Peru. Founded in 1876 by W.R. Grace (1832-1904), who immigrated to Peru from Ireland in 1850. Having amassed a huge fortune through guano-related trade, Grace traveled to New York in 1865, and in 1869 opened a steamship route between the United States and South America, monopolizing trade and transportation with Peru. Its investment in the sugar industry in 1882 was the first direct American investment in Peru. In the 20th century, it diversified its activities, expanding into finance, aviation, textiles, chemicals, and food processing, and came to dominate the Peruvian economy.
