With this acquisition, we strengthen our focus and increase the engagement with ship owners, yards, and design offices to widen the range of Evac’s waste and wastewater management systems and services applied in the Greek market.
“The local experts, Lucas Bakalexis and Panagiotis Kounoupiotis, have also joined Evac from EPE, and will continue serving our customers, but with increased support from the global Evac team. Our service level will improve, and we are very excited to expand our presence in the market, as well as to deepen our long-standing partnership with the team at EPE.”
Following the acquisition, Evac now has its own operations in 14 countries across four continents and representatives in more than 70 countries globally. The company strives to make a real difference in the environmental performance of their customers businesses to enable a future with no waste.
