Antipiros

What Antipiros does

Antipiros d.o.o. is a Croatian maritime and land-based safety equipment company headquartered in Split, founded approximately in 1975 and operating as a subsidiary of LALIZAS Group, a Greek maritime safety conglomerate. The company manufactures, distributes, and services a broad portfolio of SOLAS/MED-approved products including fire extinguishers (LALIZAS, Pastor, and own-branded variants), fireman's suits and protective equipment (EN469:2020 Level 2), life rafts, life jackets, navigation lights, MOB systems, breathing apparatus, fire hoses, nozzles, and fire blankets. Antipiros holds HRN EN 17025 accreditation for safety valve inspection and State Bureau of Metrology approval for manometer calibration, alongside approvals from all major world class societies.

Antipiros operates four physical service stations — Split (headquarters and training center), Dugopolje, Lupoglav in Istria, and Tivat in Montenegro — providing inspection, refurbishment, calibration, liferaft servicing, lifeboat servicing, and breathing apparatus maintenance. It holds exclusive ARIMAR life raft service station status for Croatia (announced September 2020) and offers a worldwide-dispatch foam sample analysis service (FSR Department, launched November 2020) targeting offshore oil and gas clients. A Maritime Training Center delivers certified courses (breveti) for maritime personnel.

The business model combines one-time equipment sales (own-branded and distributed third-party products, channeled via direct sales, a B2B portal at lalizasb2b.com, and LALIZAS Group distribution) with recurring, higher-margin professional services — inspection, calibration, refurbishment, and training — across commercial marine, pleasure craft, and offshore oil and gas customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company employs approximately 10 people, is privately held, and discloses no revenue or external funding.
