What Papapostolou Healthcare Technologies does

Papapostolou Healthcare Technologies is a family-owned Greek medical equipment distributor and turn-key healthcare technology integrator, founded in 1914 in Thessaloniki and headquartered at Sindrivani Square. The company supplies, installs, and services high-end medical equipment from international manufacturers across radiology, mammography, MRI, CT, PET/CT, radiation oncology, endoscopy, surgical robotics, respiratory care, and aesthetic medicine, with a portfolio spanning products from Hologic, Varian (a Siemens Healthineers company), Hamilton Medical, United Imaging, Lumenis, Konrad Technologies, and ANNE.

Revenue is generated from hardware resale of medical capital equipment, recurring technical support and maintenance contracts, and turn-key project fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by project. The customer base includes public and private hospitals, diagnostic centers, rehabilitation centers, private practices, and government/healthcare events, with notable references including Interbalkan Medical Center of Thessaloniki, Philoktitis Rehabilitation and Recovery Center, General Hospital of Thira, and the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Organizing Committee.

The company is privately held as a Greek Societe Anonyme (PAPAPOSTOLOU N. S.A.) with no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and no public listing. It maintains seven ISO certifications (9001, 13485, 14001, 27001, 27701, 37001, 45001) and operates exclusively within Greece.
