Based in the industrial heart of the Greek maritime sector, ZBA Zymaris Vassilitos operates as a specialized manufacturer dedicated to the preservation of marine assets. With its headquarters located in Piraeus, a global hub for shipping and repair, the company has integrated itself into the supply chain of the merchant marine and offshore industries by focusing on the science of metallurgy and corrosion prevention.
The core of the company’s operations lies in its industrial capabilities. ZBA Zymaris Vassilitos manages a dedicated foundry and production facility situated in Mandra, Attica. This plant is equipped with specialized gas furnaces and casting infrastructure designed to process non-ferrous metals. Through this heavy industrial setup, the company controls the entire manufacturing cycle of its primary output—sacrificial anodes—ensuring that the chemical composition and structural integrity of the alloys meet rigorous marine standards. The facility also houses a fully equipped tool room, allowing for the in-house design and fabrication of molds, which provides the flexibility to adapt to specific vessel requirements or unique structural configurations.
In the maritime context, ZBA Zymaris Vassilitos plays a critical role in maintaining the seaworthiness of vessels. Its engineering efforts are directed toward combating galvanic corrosion, a natural electrochemical process that degrades steel structures submerged in seawater. By producing high-purity zinc and aluminum alloy systems, the company provides the essential "sacrificial" elements that corrode in place of a ship’s hull, propeller, or ballast tanks. This protective function extends beyond standard commercial shipping to include offshore installations, harbor structures, and leisure craft, all of which rely on these metallurgical solutions to extend their operational lifespans and reduce maintenance intervals.
The company serves a diverse client base that includes shipowners, shipyards, and dry-docking facilities. Its operations are underpinned by established quality management systems, evidenced by certifications such as ISO 9001, which validate its adherence to international production standards. Through its dual presence in Piraeus and Mandra, ZBA Zymaris Vassilitos bridges the gap between commercial maritime needs and heavy industrial manufacturing, delivering essential protection to fleets operating in aggressive marine environments.
