The GebrüderCosack (Gecos) company was founded in1848 as a metal processing plant in Neheim-Hüsten, Germany byEgon, Friedrich and Theodor Cosack together with Gottliebe Tappe. It was named Metallwarenfabrik Tapp + Cosack. In the beginning they made liturgical items, crosses and upholstery nails made of brass and they also produced kerosene lamps. Later the company came to the production of electric lamps.
