ANDRIANOS proudly celebrates this year the completion of 25 years (2001–2026) of a successful strategic partnership and exclusive distribution of the German company GOK’s products in the Greek market. On the occasion of this milestone anniversary, the company’s headquarters in Kalamata were visited by Wladimir Wollert, Export Manager of GOK, reaffirming the strong ties between the two companies and their shared vision for the next decade.
Leading Presence Focused on Safety
GOK, founded in 1968 by Karl-Heinz Kleine and Josef Gottfried, is today the Market Leader in Europe in the field of LPG and oil components. Its cooperation with ANDRIANOS since 2001 has been pivotal for the Greek market, as it laid the foundation for the establishment of technical regulations and safety standards at a time when there was a regulatory gap.
“Made in Germany” Innovation & Best Sellers
The name GOK is synonymous with high quality and maximum safety. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its vertically integrated production in Marktbreit, Germany, where it operates its own zinc foundry, ensuring maximum precision and material purity.
Among the top-selling and most preferred products by Greek installers are:
- LPG Pressure Regulators: Featuring integrated safety devices (SAV, PRV) that protect against overpressure, fully compliant with European standards (DIN, EN) and Greek legislation (Government Gazette 1257B/2003).
- Manifolds for Cylinder Banks: Complete solutions for residential and professional applications.
- LPG Components & Network Materials: Highly reliable materials and measuring and control instruments.
- Oil Systems: GOK oil filters have been the epitome of quality and safety in oil boiler rooms for over 20 years. The combined filter-deaerator, GS 2000 filter, reduces installation costs and protects the environment, and has been the leading oil filter in the global market for decades.
Investment in Knowledge and Technical Support
ANDRIANOS does not operate merely as a distributor, but as a pillar of technical training. Through the organization of annual conferences (LPG Congress) in Greece, Cyprus, Germany, and Italy, it has trained hundreds of professionals, translating technical manuals and creating standard connection designs that serve as a guide for every installer and partner of ANDRIANOS in Greece and Cyprus.
The Future: Towards 2030
Having demonstrated resilience against the intense economic challenges of recent decades, the shared ecosystem of ANDRIANOS and GOK is now entering a new, dynamic phase of development. The entry of the new generation, led by Angelina Andrianou, Electrical and Computer Engineer (NTUA), ensures the continuation of the successful course and further expansion into demanding applications. The goal remains the provision of cutting-edge technologies that combine maximum safety with absolute technical excellence.
"The consistent effort of 25 years continues to bear fruit, strengthening our long-standing presence in the market. We remain committed to offering high-quality products in Greece, maintaining user safety as our most non-negotiable value."
