History of Gestiriego
We are made of Stories. We invite you to know ours.
1984
We start from 0, but with 100% clear ideas
The history of Gestiriego began on September 20, 1984, when 3 partners, friends and entrepreneurs, Miguel Ruiz, Jeaninne Gil and Antonio Clemente, came together to create a company, according to his own words, “with a very great illusion and with much desire ” These were the ingredients with which Gestiriego was born and which, at present, remain intact. From the beginning, it was clear to us that in order to grow, we had to surround ourselves with a first-class, professional and trustworthy team, without which it would never have been possible to reach where we have arrived today.
1985
The demand grows rapidly thanks to our impeccable service
Due to the exponential growth of our number of customers, after 8 months we installed the first polyethylene pipe production lines, in which we manufactured the diameters of 12, 16 and 20 mm.
1997
The demand grows rapidly thanks to our impeccable service
Thanks to the extraordinary quality of our products and perfect customer service, which marked and makes a difference in the lives of these, we are one of the leading companies in the Spanish market. This meant that we had to move to the current facilities, located in Librilla (Murcia), in the Spanish southeast, a privileged enclave, as it is an area of constant technological evolution in technified irrigation systems, due to its climatic conditions. At the same time, we installed the first cylindrical dripper manufacturing lines, which allowed us to continue growing alongside the irrigation sector in Spain, with the advantage of having the most complex and ambitious manufacturing processes.
2000
The global expansion begins
In the year 2000 we bet on our global expansion, since the peninsular market, the Canary Islands and Portugal, we already had them covered with delegations. In addition, in the Canary Islands, due to the presence of important customers, we created 2 branches, one in Tenerife and the other in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with its own polyethylene pipe production factory, thanks to which we also supply the entire north from Africa. We started our global journey through Chile building both offices and a state-of-the-art factory, in which lines of smooth polyethylene pipe and cylindrical dropper were installed. Then we continue with Mexico, a country that we consider very attractive due to its enormous growth potential. On the other hand, in 2002, due to the experience acquired over the years and our firm commitment to offer our customers the best technology in irrigation, we decided to create our own R + D + i department. With it we went beyond what we thought possible, putting all our talent for the development of new products, which were revolutionizing high performance agriculture, such as Terram underground irrigation, GTR suction cups or Starcomp self-compensating drippers.
2018
Lasting success, compelling future
We are currently present in more than 15 countries in the world, in the 5 continents, with our own companies in Spain, Chile, Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua and Ecuador. At the headquarters of Murcia, in the Spanish southeast, we manufacture more than 200 products for irrigation systems and water conduction, supplying the national market, Portuguese and the rest of the world. With more than half a million customers around the globe, our 15 high-tech production lines transform more than 12,000 tons per year of low, medium and high density polyethylene. We inserted 120 million droppers, with a daily capacity of 720,000 meters, which translates into an annual production of 237 million meters of integrated drip pipe and we have more than 100 injection molds for the production of various irrigation products. If there is something that we firmly believe in, it is in the constant and infinite improvement and in that we put our focus every day.
