Geiger is one of the largest family-owned and most progressive companies in the promotional products industry and the largest privately held promotional products distributor in the world. Our history spans 5 generations and 3 centuries. The company was founded in 1878, when brothers Andrew and Jacob took over their father's two-room print shop in Newark, New Jersey. A staff of 4 - the brothers, a printer, and a bookkeeper - produced a small line that included advertising calendars, fans, and greeting cards. In the early 1900s, the second generation brothers, Frank, Charles, and George added date books and diaries to their expanding line. In 1930s, Franks two sons, Ray and Frank, let the firm into the distribution of advertising specialty products made by other companies. In 1955, the company moved to its current location in Lewiston, Maine. Two of Ray's sons, Gene and Peter, manage the company today.
