We sustained our main financial figures,we invested further with the establishment of two new companies focusing on data centres’ engineering,we entered the environmental sector in Ethiopia, we offered energy strategy services to Albania, Serbia, Georgiaand expanded our services in the Doha Metro, Qatar.Our past projects and future goals totally justify the celebration of 50 successful years in business.Leonidas DamianidisPresidentAthens, January 10th, 2018 3Celebrating 50 years
