Durable through time
EUROPA PROFIL ALUMINIUM S.A. was founded in 1974 by Lymparet T. Tzirakian+ and Krikor Tzirakian aiming to produce aluminium profiles for architectural applications. From the very humble beginning the company focused on the highest quality production and aesthetics. Focusing on these targets, the company quickly evolved, while based on 2 basic axes:
In the late ‘80s, EUROPA designed, developed and introduced to the market the “EUROPA ALUMINIUMS SYSTEMS” series, which became the benchmark in the company’s evolution and differentiation in the Greek market. EUROPA ALUMINIUM SYSTEMS’ design excellence, perfect fit and finish, and absolute functionality became the springboard for immediate recognition, gaining aluminium fabricators and end users trust and preference.
In order to ensure the establishment as a leading, premium producer and also further improvement of its products’ quality, EUROPA PROFIL ALUMINIUM S.A. created a special Quality Control Service in all stages of production activities, handling and delivering to the end users.
Emphasizing on high quality products and strict quality control system was soon rewarded. EUROPA is the first extrusion industry in Greece that received ISO 9001 quality management certification. EUROPA PROFIL ALUMINIUM S.A. currently holds a leading position in the Extrusion industry, becoming a highly sophisticated and dynamically evolving extrusion factory and electrostatic painting facility, ready to deal with and overcoming all market challenges.
