The history of K & K Ltd. begins in 1991, when Kiril Andreev and Konstantin Zlatanov met for the first time. Their common passion for fishing quite soon made them very good friends and at the end of 1992, still students, they founded K & K Ltd. Both of them are dipl. engineers – specialists in computers, but their love for fishing proved to be stronger. In 1995 two new partners came into the company and the main office moved to Plovdiv, the second biggest city in the country.
On 19.12.1995 the company welcomes two new partners – the brothers Sasho and Toma Lekovi. All four partners establish a new company – Filista Ltd. with an office in Plovdiv, while K & K Ltd. works only with foreign partners.
At the end of 1997 were released the first monofilament lines with the brand name Lazer. Since then, the range has grown significantly, including also braided lines and items for fly-fishing, and now the company successfully exports these lines to many European countries. The range of Lazer lines includes both models for alround use and for specialized fishing. All custom requirements can also be met. In 1998 K & K Ltd. has opened a representative retail shop in Plovdiv, which is one of the biggest in the country.
In the beginning of 1998 Toma Lekov leaves the company and another partner joins – Hovanes Ovanesov – Oncho. Passionate fisherman, he starts testing all new fishing tackle equipment.
