Grupo Folha is the second largest Brazilian media conglomerate, after Grupo Globo. It was founded by Octávio Frias (1912–2007) and led by his son Luiz Frias since 1992.[1]

The group publishes Folha de S.Paulo, the largest circulation paper in the country, which since 1986 keeps the leadership among quality general-interest newspapers in Brazil.[2] In the last decade, the group nearly tripled its revenue, getting to R$2.7 billion in 2010.[1] EBITDA reached R$600 million in 2011.[3]
