History

ELCHEMA was founded in Athens in 1972 by Epaminondas Paligginis and started its activity by equipping the domestic pharmaceutical industry with production and packaging units manufactured by renowned foreign companies. Thanks to its excellent products and innovative services, the company quickly gained the trust and recognition of a highly demanding market.

In 2000, two members of the younger generation of the family, Alexios and Sergios Palinginis, joined the company’s staff and utilizing their specialized knowledge, they created the Sales & Business Development and Installation, Maintenance & Certification Departments respectively. Their presence opened new paths of growth for ELCHEMA, which today covers all the needs of the pharmaceutical industry and rightfully holds a leading position in its field of activity.
