In the following years, he started a number of businesses, including a glass company, called Vitro . In 1943, in conjunction with a number of other prominent businessmen, Garza Sada founded ITESM, that is, the Instituto Tecnológico Y De Estudios Superiores De Monterrey , with the hope of producing a school with strong moral principles and high academic quality. He died during a failed Kidnapping attempt, leaving his wife and eight children.
