A New Milestone Begins
G. Samaras S.A. – Medical Gas Systems proudly announces the expansion of its production operations with the construction of a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the Industrial Area of Thermi, Thessaloniki.
Located only a short distance from the company’s current headquarters, this new facility marks a decisive step forward that reflects the continuous evolution, resilience, and ambition that have defined G. Samaras for more than five decades.
A Legacy of Progress
Since its foundation in 1968, G. Samaras has grown from a local manufacturing company into Greece’s leading producer and exporter of medical gas systems.
With a vertically integrated structure, in-house engineering, and decades of accumulated expertise, the company has delivered safe and reliable systems to over 500 hospitals annually in more than 85 countries, from Finland to South Africa and from Peru to China.
Through continuous investment in R&D, partnerships with AUTH and CERTH, and a consistent focus on quality, innovation, and compliance, G. Samaras has built a reputation for reliability that extends far beyond national borders.
This heritage of excellence set the foundation for the company’s next major leap: the creation of its new production hub.
Building the Future: The New Production Facility
Currently in its final construction phase, the 3,900 m² facility represents an investment of €3.5 million and is designed to double the company’s production capacity within 2025. Equipped with advanced production lines, testing laboratories, and expanded logistics infrastructure, the new site introduces cutting-edge technologies and optimized workflows that will further enhance efficiency and product consistency.
Beyond manufacturing performance, this expansion carries broader significance.
It will create new jobs in the Thessaloniki region, support local industrial growth, and enable the company to respond even more effectively to international demand, strengthening its position as a global partner in healthcare infrastructure and contributing to Greece’s broader industrial and technological growth. In parallel, a €1.3 million equipment modernization program has already been completed, upgrading existing production capabilities and ensuring that G. Samaras remains at the forefront of technical innovation and operational precision.
Sustainability and Responsibility
Designed with a vision for the future, the new facility integrates energy-efficient systems, optimized HVAC design, and advanced waste management processes to minimize environmental impact.
These investments reflect the company’s ongoing commitment to responsible growth, where industrial progress and sustainability go hand in hand.
At the same time, G. Samaras operates under a comprehensive certification framework, holding ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 37001, while all products bear CE marking (Categories IIa & IIb).
This ensures full compliance with international safety, quality, and environmental standards, forming the foundation that supports every aspect of the company’s operations and manufacturing philosophy.
In parallel, G. Samaras continues to uphold its social responsibility, supporting hospitals, schools, and universities through targeted donations and partnerships that strengthen public infrastructure and education.
