It was the year 2007 and the twins Edgar and Edwar Juárez were enthusiastic about the possibility of distributing Fibra Optica in the region, a novelty at the time, which promised to be able to replace copper with endless advantages. They crossed countless routes, airports and offices promoting the idea.

 

They were difficult beginnings, in which dreams were abundant and capital was scarce. And where there were no shortage of mythical trips, like the one carried out by Edwar, when he decided that the ideal was to stop looking for distributors and focus on the final customer.

 

Edwar managed to invite 25 Peruvian cable TV operators to the remote city of Seoul to see the Taihan facilities. The detail: in his eagerness to add potential clients, he had run out of money for his own ticket, which he had to exchange for publicity thanks to old contacts, and he arrived in Seoul without accommodation and with only 100 dollars in his pocket...

 

As the fiber optic distribution project grew, the need for a solid business structure became clearer. It was then that the Juárezes invited Giancarlo Di Zio, a family friend, to be part of the project. Owner of the prestigious Venezuelan company Materials of the Andes, Giancarlo sensed the potential that the Juárez project had and decided to contribute all the business experience that the idea needed to grow.

 

Thus, on September 9, 2009, FYCO was formally born, a name created from the union of the words fiber and copper, a slogan that the Juárez brothers had used when trying to sell their idea in Latin America.
