Based in Greece, Eolos is a specialized technical organization focused on the provision, maintenance, and support of compressed air systems for the industrial and maritime sectors. Established in 1974, the company has developed a distinct operational footprint within the Greek and broader Balkan markets, evolving from a local supplier into a regional hub for pneumatic technology. While it serves various land-based industries, Eolos maintains a dedicated division specifically engineered to address the complex requirements of the global shipping and offshore industries.
In the maritime domain, Eolos addresses the critical need for reliable pneumatic power, which serves as a lifeline for numerous vessel functions. Understanding the specific electrical standards of the marine environment, the company supplies specialized equipment designed to operate on the 60 Hz power frequency standard common across international shipping fleets. Its maritime portfolio includes high-pressure air compressors essential for starting main engines, as well as low-pressure screw compressors that power pneumatic control systems and instrumentation on board. Beyond basic compression, the company provides air treatment solutions, such as dryers and filtration systems, to ensure the humidity-free air required to protect sensitive marine automation equipment from corrosion and failure.
The company’s operational model emphasizes lifecycle support over simple transaction. Recognizing that vessel schedules allow for zero downtime, Eolos has structured its services around rapid response and technical adaptability. It introduced flexible service concepts such as "compressor exchange" programs to mitigate operational interruptions. Through its technical hubs in Athens and Thessaloniki, the company mobilizes specialized personnel to provide maintenance, repair, and spare parts for a wide array of compressor brands, ensuring that vessels can maintain seaworthiness and compliance with safety standards.
Over continuous decades of operation, Eolos has expanded its capabilities to include nitrogen generation and other gas solutions relevant to marine safety and cargo preservation. By combining engineering expertise with a logistics network capable of supporting vessels in major ports, Eolos acts as a critical technical partner for ship operators, ensuring that the pneumatic heart of the vessel functions efficiently under the demanding conditions of open-sea operations.
