About GEKAY

Gekay began as a family-owned business with one powerful guiding principle: “Take care of the customer.” That simple but enduring philosophy came from our founder, George Katz, whose initials and values still shape everything we do today. What started as George’s vision has grown into a trusted name across a wide range of industries.

Over the Decades Gekay has proudly supported:

  • The Soft Drink Industry
  • Full-Line Vending & Amusement Operators
  • The United States Military Worldwide
  • U.S. Government Agencies
  • Equipment Manufacturers
  • The Laundry and Car Wash Industries
  • Transit Providers

Gekay became known not just for equipment expertise, but for building lasting relationships and delivering with integrity — every time. Even after George’s passing, his commitment to putting customers first remains deeply rooted in our culture. That legacy has continued to guide us as we’ve grown, diversified, and expanded our offerings.

Now, as Gekay becomes part of the Cardinal family, we bring this proud tradition into a new chapter — backed by expanded capabilities, stronger resources, and the same unwavering dedication to customer care. George Katz’s philosophy lives on, and it’s never been more relevant.
