Our company started as a one man business back in 1950. Today Gesco Signs Ltd is one of the leading sign companies in Malta. Mr Joseph Dingli, being very much artistically motivated, began experimenting with hand engraving. Later on he imported his first engraving machine and soon founded the first sign company on these islands. At that time engraved plastic nameplates were something of a novelty, but slowly orders were coming in and from his garage at home he moved his office to Valletta. Manufacturing illuminated plastic signs seemed the next logical step for Mr Dingli, a qualified electrical fitter by profession. Once again new premises were acquired and in the early sixties Gesco Signs moved to Gzira, where it still is to this day although in a new building built in 1982.
