NEW COLLABORATION

SARMED is pleased to announce its new e-commerce collaboration with P. KIPROGLOU S.A. for the storage and distribution of its products in SARMED’s newly constructed facilities in Aspropyrgos, Attica.

Founded in 1957 by Pantelis Kyrpoglou, the company initially operated a textile manufacturing plant, with a significant portion of its production dedicated to fabrics for professional use. In 2000, the company expanded by creating a separate division to directly supply hotels, laundries, hospitals, cruise lines, and catering companies. The success of that initiative prompted the company to focus its efforts and resources on this sector. Recently, it formed a partnership in Egypt for textile production, further enriching its collection with imported products. The company’s dynamic growth, expertise in the product sector, continuous effort to meet customer needs, and consistently offering excellent value for money products have established it as one of the leading companies in the equipment supply sector in Greece.

This partnership is a significant addition to SARMED’ s clients portfolio.
