History
Tasco through the years
Tasco has been around for about 30 years. We are very proud of where we have come from and where we currently stand. On this page, we go a little deeper about us and the different steps in Tasco’s existence.
Alain De Veleer and Alain Senechal, both seasoned in the IT world, decide to become self-employed. In the garage of their parents' house in the Zandstraat in Eke, they start their own IT company. This is the start of Mediapolis: a full-service IT company with a local character!
Granada Graphics, a client of Mediapolis, goes bankrupt. Together with Hubert De Veleer and Jan Soete, Alain and Alainete see the opportunity. They take over 13 staff, clients, stock and buildings from the bankruptcy and throw themselves into this new challenge. Soon they acquire fame in the graphic arts world with, among other things, Duplo digital duplicators and finishing equipment. Teleaction was born. Mediapolis leaves the garage in Zandstraat and moves along to the premises in Berkenlaan in de Pinte.
Birch Avenue is also bursting at the seams. The growth of Mediapolis and TeleAction continues. A location is sought where there is room to expand in the future too. The purchase and move to the current location in Gavere is a fact.
Primera Technology launches the world's first inkjet colour printer for labels. As we are already a distributor of the CD printers, this product also enters our range.
TeleAction and Mediapolis, meanwhile, have continued to grow. The current buildings are already too small, a renovation is imminent. From now on, clients can visit a showroom of up to 250m² and employees work in a spacious and bright landscape office. A new house style is also being created under the call sign TA&Co with different departments to communicate the increasingly diverse range to our clients.
Memjet shows their new revolutionary printing technology for the first time. One of our regular suppliers, Astro Machine corporation of Chicago, presents the Astrojet M1 at the Ipex in England. This envelope printer will be a success. Finally you can print digitally at low cost and high speed. During the show, some label printers with this technology are also presented to the world. A seed is planted.
