All About Gonesh The Company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Originally named The Hindu Incense Company, a Lithuanian immigrant, Radkins, purchased the company in 1923 and primarily sold incense cones and burners. By the mid-1960\u2019s the second generation of this Chicago-based immigrant family joined the business that is now called Genieco, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They added incense sticks to their product offerings and in 1965 and trademarked the company name, Gonesh. <\/strong>From then on, Genieco, Inc has been the manufacturer and supplier of Gonesh. This name was chosen to reference Ganesha <\/a>who was an elephant-headed Hindu god of new beginnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hippie movement of the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s helped the company grow beyond expectation. As another generation entered the business in the early 1980\u2019s they focused on marketing their business based on product quality. Gonesh has continued to grow as a company to this very day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gonesh products are sold in many types of retail stores around the globe, as well as through online retailers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Gonesh Incense Is Made<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From the very beginning, Radkins used HighCharcoal, which is now trademarked by the company, to make its incense cones, and then later its sticks. The company states that their incense uses the highest charcoal content and that that is why their incense burns cleanly without tainting the fragrances.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charcoal is packed around a bamboo stick, and then the sticks are hand-dipped into fragrance oils. They work with expert perfumers to create innovative oil mixtures using resins, herbs, and woods. At least 50,000 sticks are dipped every day, and then they are left to dry on racks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
