The company
Our history: Spourgitis Transport since 1943
On 6 January 1943 the great-grandfather of today's owners, the four Spourgitis siblings, set out with big dreams to carry goods on the Kalamata – Koroni and Kalamata – Athens routes.
Four generations after that first route, SPOURGITIS transports and delivers all over the world, built on reliability and complete respect for its customers. Back then, nobody could have imagined it.
How has Spourgitis grown since 1943?
The second generation and an office in Athens
His son, Georgios Spourgitis, joins the company and takes over the agency's headquarters in Kalamata. In the same period the company expands to Athens: the new office, at 78 Kerameikou Street, is run by Konstantinos Spourgitis. Quality, reliability and consistency are rewarded by customers and suppliers, and the fleet grows further.
Home deliveries in Athens
Konstantinos Spourgitis, son of Georgios Spourgitis, brings new energy to the company. A young man with fresh ideas and a will to work, he proposes that they also start home deliveries in Athens.
The first overseas shipments
Their vision leads them to spread their wings beyond the Greek market, and they begin shipping by sea to Canada, Australia and the USA.
A network of agents and air freight
The next step: they build a network of agents and begin transport within Europe, as well as air freight on cargo planes to the whole world.
Transport within the European Union
A defining year for the company: transport and deliveries within the European Union begin.
Four continents by air
The company is already carrying air freight to Europe, the USA, Canada and Africa.
Refrigerated loads Attica – Messinia
Refrigerated transport begins from the Attica region to the Messinia region, serving commercial shipments.
The online transport platform
A pioneering and flexible online platform for international transport is created, covering the whole route from pickup to the recipient's door and letting customers schedule their own transport.
