Messaritis is a well established representations and imports firm with a track record that speaks for itself. It is the company’s business to assist manufacturing, technology, and service companies to locate and develop new operating channels in Greece.

Since 1950, we have been providing consultancy and business representation services for many well known international companies which took advantage of our experience and extensive expertise in local business practices.

Messaritis is located in Athens, the epicenter of business in Greece. Our firm was founded in 1950 by the late John F. Messaritis acting as agents for companies such as ELMES (Recorders), EMILE HAEFELY (CTs, VTs and LTs, H.V. Test Systems), DUCATI (Capacitors) and others.

In 1971 Fotis J. Messaritis took over. Since then this firm has grown from a small one-man operation, to a business employing a team of highly skilled individuals with considerable successes.
