Company history
Stageco was founded by Hedwig De Meyer in Belgium in 1985,[11] who built stages for the Rock Werchter Festival since 1977. By the mid eighties Stageco provided equipment for Genesis and Pink Floyd, whilst refining the tower systems and roofs. In 1992 the staging company worked directly with an architect to create a custom built stage for Genesis’ We Can't Dance tour. That same year Stageco US was incorporated, touring in the U.S. with Guns N' Roses and Metallica. Over the following years, new offices were opened in the Netherlands, Germany and France.[12]
