On World Standards Day, Meleccon highlights the importance of standardisation in industry for maintaining efficiency at a time when the energy transition has never been more relevant.
Industrial safety and the efficient use of energy are essential to the competitiveness of Greek industry. International standards play a crucial role in this context, establishing a common framework of requirements and best practices.
The implementation of certified management systems in accordance with ISO standards—which every industrial solution offered by the company fully complies with—is an important tool for building trust, facilitating collaboration and supporting innovation.
At the same time, the development of energy technologies and the shift to more sustainable energy production models make common technical specifications, reliable processes and the upgrading of expertise more important than ever. This year’s World Standards Day focused on UN Sustainable Development Goal 7, which calls for affordable and clean energy.
The company’s activities span a wide range of applications, from supporting generator sets and industrial facilities to combined heat and power plants and hydrogen-based technologies. It holds three certifications—ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001—and is in the process of obtaining two more, AQA 2110 & ISO 37001.
As Ilias Garantziotis, one of the company’s two founders, notes: “The energy transition and autonomy are among the most pressing issues, not only in the political arena but also on the industrial agenda. Uninterrupted industrial operations and efficiency through new energy technologies are strategic priorities for most of the projects we carry out, bringing together our expertise, reliable equipment and the specific requirements of each partner.”
A notable example is the partnership with the Stergiou family. At the company’s new factory, Meleccon, as the exclusive representative of Clayton, designed an advanced steam system with a capacity of 2tn/hr that can grow with production.
Rather than installing one large unit, the company installed two Clayton CSM 75 steam generators, allowing capacity to increase gradually. As demand rises, they enable steam production to keep pace with the new factory, step by step. The project shows how correctly sizing and configuring a steam installation can combine energy efficiency, flexibility and future production capacity in a single system.
