What PIGASOS A.PITTAROKOILIS SA does

PIGASOS A.PITTAROKOILIS SA is a privately held Greek packaging machinery agency and distributor, founded in 1962 in Athens. The company acts as the exclusive Greek representative for approximately ten international packaging machinery manufacturers spanning Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Korea, Switzerland and the United States. PIGASOS distributes vertical and horizontal packaging machines (Engelhardt weighing, Delfin flow-pack, Pacific Automation Machinery), heat-sealing and vacuum packaging equipment (Audion Elektro, Hanato, Audion Contimed for medical applications), color sorting systems (SATAKE Alpha Scan II, Scan Master II, RMGS), shrink wrapping machines (Pactur Lady Pack) and fully automatic packaging machines (BECK Packautomaten), along with packaging consumables such as shrink films, craft paper tapes, marking inks and ATS banding machines.

The company sells individual machines as well as complete installations, complemented by a service department, a permanent showroom, a testing room, warehouses and a conference room housed in a self-owned 5-story building at Iraklidon 68, Athens. Its customer base spans industrial manufacturing (primary segment), food processing (rice, maize, cereals, legumes, coffee) and medical/pharmaceutical packaging requiring standards-compliant heat-sealing (DIN 58953 Part 7, ISO 11607, EN 868).

PIGASOS employs roughly 6 people and operates as a single-country (Greece) distributor with no public listing, no external institutional investment, and no disclosed revenue. Its business model rests on agency commissions and margins from equipment resale plus recurring revenue streams from consumables, spare parts, and after-sales technical support. Since 1987 the company has been owned and controlled by Andreas Pittarokilis, who relocated and restructured the firm into its current form.
