Getting to know RIGAS ENGINEERING

 

RIGAS ENGINEERING originates from E. RIGAS SA which was established in 1961 and began networking in the market of chemicals and mechanical equipment mainly in Europe. The goal was to create a powerful and technologically advance base, that would help to the foundation of the Greek industry, through the transfer of valuable European know-how and funds, so that the market would start opening up to new Greek efforts.

 

In the first years the company works clearly as a specialized “engineering” research office for integrated industrial units of polymer applications. The company expands rapidly, overtaking the representation of famous foreign producers of polymers processing machinery, peripheral equipment and raw materials for all the fields of application of chemicals, polymers, rubber and pharmaceutical systems.

 

In 2007, RIGAS ENGINEERING became an independent company with its own management and personnel. As an independent company with valuable engineering experience it operates in accordance with internationality acceptable standards and practices.
