About us

The family business developed, gradually incorporating the three sons. The generational handover process began in 1983, and took approximately a decade to be completed. In 1987, sales began to increase with new customer portfolios in the industrial, manufacturing and household lines, among others. New divisions were included, such as natural fibers (cotton, ramie, linen), synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon, acrylic), man-made fibers (rayon-viscose), plain and textured filaments, elastomers, latex and coated rubbers, regenerated yarns, natural yarns (mainly cotton), natural/synthetic blends and pretended yarns, among others. By 1995 the 3 brothers were fully operational and in charge of the company, while the founders happily retired. In the same year the company began to venture into Latin American markets, specifically Colombia, Peru and Mexico. In 1998 the company was renamed Representaciones GEKO C.A., as a worthy heir of the original company. In 1998 the company also ventured into the Costa Rican market.
