What Ergonomia does

Ergonomia S.A. is a privately held Greek occupational health and safety (OHS) consulting firm founded in 1992 by Ilias Banoutsos and headquartered in Neo Irakleio, Attiki. It operates as the first licensed External Protection and Prevention Service (ΕΞΥΠΠ) provider in Greece, a regulatory credential it has held since 2001. The company's professional services portfolio spans Safety Officer and Occupational Physician provision, construction-site Safety Coordinator services, industrial safety studies (ATEX, SEVESO III, HAZOP/LOPA/SIL), physical and chemical agent measurements, ergonomic workstation assessments, ISO management system design, and training programs, supplemented by an Employee Assistance Program (ErgoWell-being) sub-brand.

Its technology layer comprises three proprietary digital tools branded under the AYE 4.0 (OSH 4.0) initiative: ErgoManager (nationwide coordination of Safety Officers and Occupational Physicians with client reporting), ErgoAuditor (OHS auditing, risk assessment, and gap analysis), and ErgoATEX (digital inspection and monitoring of equipment in ATEX explosion-protection zones, with corrective-action tracking and historical archiving). The ErgoMagazine newsletter, open webinar series, and educational seminars serve as content channels supporting client acquisition and retention. Ergonomia maintains a stack of current ISO certifications (9001, 14001, 27001, 45001, 37001, and 17025 for its Measurement Department).

The business operates a direct enterprise field-sales model, deploying a nationwide Greece network of more than 60 engineers and ergonomists, 70+ specialized physicians, and 140+ external partners, with geographic reach extending into the Balkans and Mediterranean. Revenue is generated through professional-services fees from hundreds of large enterprise clients across diversified verticals, including Sony, Nestle, 3M, Unilever, Shell, DEI/PPC, J&P, Cosmote, AB Vasilopoulos, DHL, Michelin, Hellas Gold, and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. Following acquisition by Accor Services in 2004 and reacquisition by its founder in 2009, the firm remains under founder control with no disclosed institutional capital.
