About Us
Our History
Goleks Ltd. was founded in 1991 – the same year Latvia gained independence. For over 30 years, we have been successfully operating in the business. Our company, founded by a Doctor of Technical Sciences and Professor who defended a dissertation on holography, initially focused on this technology and was named GOLEKS (HOLEX) (HOLography and EXport). Although the business direction changed after a few years, the name remained.
Like many private firms, we started with a small team of seven people working in an 100-square-meter space. Today, we are proud to own 3,500 square meters of land and more than 2,000 square meters of production facilities equipped with modern complex machinery. Our success is built on three key principles: quality, quality, and more quality. Even decades later, the advertising structures we built 10-20 years ago continue to serve and look great.
Our products are always unique and require not only skill but also a creative approach. The ability to solve the most challenging tasks is the company's greatest asset. Over the years, we have completed many unconventional projects. For casinos, we created cockroach racing stadiums and voodoo masks with glowing eyes, decorated Khreshchatyk Street in Kyiv with light installations for Eurovision, and manufactured giant Christmas decorations.
For 20 years, Christmas decorations for streets, squares, and facades were one of our leading activities. Today, the scale of this work has significantly decreased, and we now take on these projects only upon individual request.
Our primary business remains the production of all types of signs. Our products can be seen not only in Latvia but far beyond its borders. For over 20 years, we have successfully exported to other countries, especially Scandinavia. Every week, trucks loaded with our products head to several European countries, and the high quality is evident not only in the products themselves but even in their packaging.
