Voortman

The company “G. Bourganis & Co” was formed in 2002, by John and George Bourganis. The main business activity was the co-operation and representation in Greece, of Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers for the Steel Fabrication and Steel Stockholding & Trading Industry.

The successful co-operation with Voortman existed for a few years already.

George Bourganis: “A significant advantage when we formed our company was the good knowledge of the subject and the experience in this business field. Especially for John Bourganis, who had worked for more than 30 years in the past with several manufacturers of such steel machinery, and had created a respectable name in the Greek market. His large experience has been proved to be an extremely valuable tool for the company throughout the years.

We started working with Voortman 7 years ago. We had been looking with great interest at Voortman’s continuous growth year by year. When we first visited the premises in Rijssen, we were very much impressed with what we saw. Voortman machines embody in the highest degree the three basic demands of today’s structural steel fabrication industry, automation, speed and flexibility! The combination of high technology and reliability is really unique.

With the full support of the Voortman Team, we managed to supply the Greek Steel Fabrication Industry with a significant number of Voortman machines, and make a large group of satisfied customers. The customers’ satisfaction does not only arise because of the capabilities Voortman machines offer, but also because of the high degree of support that comes with the machines. The customers feel safe that Voortman will always be there to give the solution. They know that their supplier will not forget them after the completion of the sales and this is such an important issue.

Economic crisis

As it is very well known, our country’s economy is at a very difficult point at this moment of time. This economic crisis has of course affected the sales, as most of the private investments at this stage have been postponed or left for later time, due to the limited cash flow. Nevertheless, perhaps slowly but steadily, we believe that with safe and developing steps in the economy, the situation will be settled and the market will recover in a large degree.

We feel proud that we represent Voortman and we feel really happy that we are also part of the Voortman family. We do want this co-operation to last for many many years … and even longer than that!”
