Gonzalo Mazuera works at Enka de Colombia, where he builds his professional career and acquires extensive knowledge, ultimately taking on the role of Sales Director for Latin America in the Industrial Fibers segment.

Gonzalo Mazuera and his wife, Maria Elena Posada, establish Indumar Ltda. Inspired by his experiences during business trips across Latin America and supported by Enka as a key strategic ally and supplier of raw materials (high-tenacity nylon), he launches the project from a house in the Colombia neighborhood of Medellín, starting with 5 employees, 2 winding machines, and 1 twisting machine.

We acquire 1 flat loom and 2 twisting machines, which were used at the time to manufacture tarpaulins for tires, and we begin the manual production of fishing nets.

We purchase our first Japanese machine from Tanimura to weave simple knot nets.

We venture into the production of colored nylon threads for blue jeans, a trend that initially boosts sales but remains in the market for only a short period.

After a decline in sales following the fading trend of colored threads for blue jeans, we strategically decide to focus on manufacturing products for fishing.

Juan Carlos Posada, an agronomist from the Pan-American Agricultural School Zamorano in Honduras, joins Indumar. Thanks to his expertise, we begin exploring new uses and markets for our products.

We decide to build our own warehouse, where we currently operate, located in the La Tablaza neighborhood of La Estrella, Antioquia.

A severe crisis hits us due to the El Niño phenomenon, causing drought in the region and low fishing yields. However, through the collective efforts of our employees and shareholders, we manage to recover and emerge stronger.

Thanks to our innovative and persevering spirit, we develop and start marketing new products for the floriculture and palm oil industries.

Gonzalo Mazuera steps down from management, and Juan Carlos Posada is appointed as his successor.

We expand our product offerings into the sports and playgrounds market.

We reach new territories by exporting to Brazil, a significant region in the fishing industry due to the Amazon River.

We create the first development for the design and interior design market with mesh for architectural supports.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we now have over 200 employees. We embark on a process of renewing our infrastructure, technology, and processes, and we establish a new corporate image, outlining a fresh marketing and commercial strategy that integrates all the segments our products serve.
