KAPOK 88 Partners With New Greek Distributor

KAPOK 88, a Nottingham family business and the UK's & Europe’s No.1 elevator interior protection company has partnered with a new distributor in Greece.

As of September 2018, GNV Automation and Elevator Spare Parts owned by George N.Votsis is KAPOK 88's official distributor of our padded protective drapes, selling both our custom made to measure and modular padded protective lift and wall interior drape products.

George has over 20 years experience and is well known and respected within the Greek elevator industry. George commented: "KAPOK 88 offers focused, high quality products. One could easily claim that the Greek market is not ready to follow that direction. I would say the exact opposite: after a prolonged period of economic crisis and given the current norms that apply to the European elevator industry, Greece is thirsty for a new, dynamic restart. I strongly believe that KAPOK 88 and its products is one of the pieces of the big puzzle that will eventually help us reach our new high aspirations."

The partnership brings the number of KAPOK 88’s European and Middle Eastern authorised distributors to six

Commenting on the agreement Richard B. Annable, Managing Director said: "We want to be more active in the Greek elevator market; it has good potential for us. We are really pleased that George sees the benefits and value of offering our products to his customers and I look forward to building a strong and fruitful relationship over the coming years."
