Alexiou

What Alexiou does

Alexiou S.A. (ΑΛΕΞΙΟΥ Α.Β.Ε.Ε.) is a Greek industrial weighing systems manufacturer founded in 1937 by Evangelos Alexiou as a mechanical scale workshop and incorporated in its current S.A. form in 1985. The company designs, manufactures, and services a comprehensive portfolio of industrial weighing equipment — including electronic and mechanical weighbridges (capacities 15t to 100t), floor scales, pallet scales, low-profile scales, animal scales, and special-application scales for olive oil processing, slaughterhouses, baggage handling, check-weighing, and belt weighfeeding — together with a proprietary MSZ series of electronic weighing indicators (MSZ 4, 5, 15, 30S, 30SA, and the 40-series crane scales) and in-house automation software (COLLECTOR, AUTOZYG, WEIGHT). All equipment is built at the company's privately-owned manufacturing facility in Mandra, Attica (25th km National Road Athens-Corinth), integrating load cells sourced from European and UK manufacturers with OIML R-60 certification, and is compliant with EU Directive 2014/31/EU (Module D approval via NMi Certin BV, CE-256), ISO 9001:2015 (TUV HELLAS), and ESYD ISO 17025:2017 for the in-house calibration laboratory.

The company generates revenue through two main streams: custom-built hardware sales priced on a unit basis against customer-specific specifications (platform dimensions, weighing capacity, division accuracy), typically structured as multi-year contracts with industrial and government customers; and professional services including installation, after-sales technical support, maintenance, upgrades, and ESYD-accredited calibration services covering systems from 2 kg to 60,000 kg. Distribution is sales-led and direct, with three mobile service units plus a crane vehicle serving customers throughout Greece and direct export relationships distributing to nine countries — Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, plus Romania, Albania, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Named customers include Greek government ministries (Transport and Infrastructure, Rural Development and Food, prefectures, KTEO vehicle inspection stations), large industrial corporates (MOTOR OIL, TITAN, ELVAL, Halcor, Greek Cables, PPC, OTE, Corinth Pipeworks, AMSTEL, HELECTOR, TERNA), port authorities, agricultural cooperatives, and airline companies. Marketing is conducted through a bilingual website, industry trade events, and long-standing customer referral networks within Greek industrial and agricultural sectors.
