As a leading international manufacturer of goods presentation solutions, Geck specializes in the processing of steel and plastic. Well-known customers appreciate Geck’s industrial high-tech competence as a top supplier for merchandise carriers, displays, shopping carts, price labeling systems and store fitting accessories. Individualized products and special designs are part of the daily business.
Founded in 1852, the company manufactures at three locations in Germany in a total of seven plants and has an efficient international network of subsidiaries and partners. More than 340 employees in Altena, Lüdenscheid (South Westphalia) and Luckau (Brandenburg) manufacture a broad product portfolio for the trade, which has valued the company’s expertise in metal and plastics processing for decades. Products from Geck are used by almost all well-known retail chains in Central Europe and can also be found in numerous countries in Scandinavia, North Africa and the USA. The company’s new developments include digital solutions for indoor tracking and navigation. Stationary retail gains insights by means of real-time data through the analysis of shopping behavior and serves to increase efficiency in market planning. In addition, measures can be introduced that are specific to a target group or individually tailored to a person, creating additional incentives to buy. In times of oversupply, recommendations are necessary directly at the point of sale. This not only improves customer satisfaction in the long term, but also increases the store’s sales.
