What Idator does
Idator (legal name: ΕΦΑΡΜΟΓΕΣ ΑΝΤΛΗΣΗΣ ΑΝΩΝΥΜΗ ΕΤΑΙΡΕΙΑ - ΥΔΑΤΩΡ / Applications of Pumping SA - HYDATOR) is a privately held Greek B2B water technology company headquartered in Kifisia (Athens) with operational roots in Patra. Founded in 1969 by Leonidas Efstratiadis as a family business, the company now combines in-house manufacturing of certified fire pump packages, pressure boosting systems, pumping stations, electrical control panels, and submersible pumps with authorized distribution of 35+ international water technology brands in the Greek market. Its distribution portfolio includes the full Xylem range (Flygt, Lowara, WEDECO, Sanitaire, Godwin) for pumps, UV disinfection, and fine-bubble aeration; SEKO for chemical dosing systems; Itron (Temetra) for smart water metering; Droople for IoT water monitoring; Osoley for atmospheric water generation; and a broader civil-protection and flood-management lineup.
The company serves four primary customer segments: municipal water and sewage utilities (DEYAs across Greece), industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities, building services and construction companies (including high-rise fire protection in Cyprus), and the hospitality sector (hotels adopting IoT water monitoring and atmospheric water generation). Underlying technical components span centrifugal/submersible/positive-displacement pumping, UV and ozone disinfection, fine-bubble aeration with ~6.5% SOTE per metre submergence, IoT-enabled smart metering and leak detection, atmospheric water generation (10-1500 L/day), and certified fire protection packages compliant with NFPA 20, EN12845, and TEE 2451/86. Idator holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 37001, and 27001 certifications.
Idator generates revenue through three streams: (1) one-time equipment distribution of international water technology brands to Greek municipal, industrial, and construction customers; (2) one-time sales of own-manufactured fire pump packages, pressure boosting units, pumping stations, and control panels; and (3) professional services including pump rental, equipment repair, preventive maintenance, and installation & commissioning. Pricing is quote-based via a B2B partner portal and contact forms (no public pricing); contracts include multi-year agreements with municipal and enterprise customers. Distribution is direct for large municipal/enterprise accounts and indirect via an authorized partner/reseller network for mid-market customers across Greece and Cyprus.
