What MJ Maillis does

MJ Maillis is a Greek-headquartered, privately held industrial manufacturer specializing in end-of-line packaging equipment and steel strapping systems, operating in the B2B sector. Founded in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the company markets itself with over 50 years of tertiary-packaging experience and self-positions as the world's second largest manufacturer of end-of-line packaging equipment. Its customer base spans heavy-industrial verticals — construction, metal container, glass, metal, and timber — where strapping solutions are deployed to secure heavy loads, prevent transit damage, and reduce total cost of ownership for industrial shippers.

The core technology centers on proprietary steel strapping systems comprising two principal steel-strap grades: Megadyn™, a heat-treated medium carbon-high manganese strap produced from proprietary cold-rolled coils via a patented heat-treatment process for heavy-duty applications, and Dynaflex™, a cold-rolled low-carbon strap for medium-duty use. The offering is rounded out with steel strap seals (push-type, single and double notch, with multiple finish options), strap cutters, dispensers, balancers, a pneumatic test bench, and FRL air-treatment units. Manufacturing is conducted across four production plants (three in Europe, one in the USA), with quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety systems certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001:2021, and ISO 45001:2021. Sales are predominantly direct B2B, supported by recurring trade-show presence at Interpack and IPACK-IMA, an affiliate network, and a dedicated spare parts portal (mysiat.siat.com).

Commercially, the company runs an integrated, multi-stream revenue model combining hardware sales of packaging machines, recurring consumables (steel strap, seals, accessories), and service/support. Solutions are customized per industrial application rather than sold off-the-shelf, supporting a consultative sales motion. The corporate footprint comprises approximately 750 employees operating across 15 countries, with the Maillis Metals Solutions sub-brand reporting reach to more than 50 countries globally. Revenue per the company's careers page is stated at €198 million (fiscal year unspecified). Leadership consists of CEO Maria Glynou (appointed January 2019), CSO Aris Mitsias, and COO Vasilis Boursinos (appointed 2021).
