Rise to Success
Peñaloza Alanís's career is closely tied to Pinfra, originally Grupo Tribasa, a construction and infrastructure company founded by his father, David Peñaloza Sandoval. In 2001, at the age of 27, he took over the construction company. After the peso crisis in 1994, the company faced financial difficulties and was forced to restructure. During the restructuring, David Peñaloza Alanís replaced his father at the helm. Under his leadership, the company was restructured and in 2005, re-entered the Mexican Stock Exchange under the name Pinfra. As of 2024, his net worth was estimated to be approximately $2.3 Billion.

Furthermore, Pinfra expanded its presence in the manufacturing sector and has subsidiaries such as Grupo Corporativo Interestatal, S.A. de C.V., Tribasa Construcciones, S.A. de C.V., and Mexicana de Cales, S.A. de C.V..
