Gonzalo Mazuera, a textile engineer from Thomas Jefferson University, founded Indumar in 1972 in a modest home in Medellín with a small but dedicated team. His vision was to produce high-quality threads tailored to the fishing industry, inspired by his travels across Latin America. Understanding the specific needs of fishermen, he sought to develop innovative solutions that combined traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. This approach laid the foundation for Indumar’s lasting impact on the industry.
