Geloso

In 1931 the company started the production not only of radio sets but also most of the electronic components with which they were built and, over time, also developed and patented many others. After the Second World War, Geloso expanded his range and production, becoming from 1950 a point of reference for enthusiasts of consumer electronics and hobbyists.The many products under the brand name Geloso were known throughout Italy and much appreciated abroad. The output consisted of innovative products known for their high quality, solid construction and reasonable price.

The main lines of production consisted of radios, amplifiers, tape recorders, televisions, kits, and professional laboratory instruments. These were complemented by components such as capacitors, resistors, potentiometers, switches, connectors, transformers and microphones.

On the death in 1969 of the founder, Geloso became an empire of eight production plants, with an efficient sales network. Production continued until 1972, when it closed permanently. There were several reasons for this closure: fierce foreign competition, managerial problems, union demands and massive indebtedness to banks.
