Quality since 1946
Our story began in 1949, when Compañia Industrial Rey was founded by Isaac Sterental a Peruvian entrepreneur.
After some years of ongoing growth, we became Reymatic S.A.; in 1965 we moved to our current headquarters in Callao, one of the factories with the largest zipper production in Latin America.
In 1974, Eng. Samuel Gleiser took the chair of the company, printing his invaluable personal seal. It is under his direction that in 1998 Corporación Rey S.A. arose after a merger with the label factory APX Industrial, thus diversifying our offer to the production of zippers, tapes, elastics and labels.
Our desire to stay at the forefront, has led us in recent years to venture into the production of coated elastic yarns to meet the demands of the challenging textile industry, as well as to provide 3D professional printing services in addition to distributing rapid prototyping equipment of high technology.
Nowadays, REY is one of the most internationally renowned brands within its category.
