PHILOSOPHY

Quality products and services is our core value and we strive to provide to all our customers.

The complete equipment solutions we provide, are accompanied by the credibility of the experienced Hellamco personnel. We study your needs, install the machines on site and provide certification and maintenance. In the spirit of the company, exclusive partnerships with internationally recognized manufacturers and, above all, the valuable support of our customers, we owe the top position we hold and the international recognition we have gained. We place technology in the service of scientists.

The extensive know-how of our specialists, includes a wide range of chemical, biochemical analytical methods and results from our commitment, to meet the increasing needs of our customer-laboratories.

VISION

The constant goal and vision of HELLAMCO® is to constantly improve all of the areas of our operation expertise, with the help and suggestions of our customers, so that we accomplish the best company ranking in this sector in Greece.

This certainly requires the cooperation and synergy of all involved such as: customers-company, suppliers-company, company personnel-company management which is also reflected in our logo, depicting two equal, interconnected and cooperating parts.

EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS

A warm welcome, has been granted to us by the Hellenic Science community over the years, always responding positively to the special training courses we have provided, especially regarding the paid special seminars:
- Hands-On Training of Chromatographic Instruments Operators (GC & HPLC)
- ACS Workshops (American Chemical Society), under the aegis of EEX (Association of Greek Chemicals) for the first time in a country of South-Eastern Europe
- Methodology Workshops of Particle Size with Laser beam

Our company always a pioneer and constantly informed in modern organology, has successfully:
- Participated in numerous technology and science related topics (held in Universities, Research labs, Inspection Authorities, etc.)
- Presented over 50 informative seminars of innovative technologies and implementations in the fields of pharmaceuticals, food, materials research, etc.
- Trained numerous instrument users in private and public companies in Greece and abroad.

INNOVATION

Our motto «Quality by all means», is the way of operation and shared vision of our company, based from the beginning of our operation since 1984, that lead us to many innovative accomplishments.

NEW PROFESSIONAL HORIZON OF CHEMICSTS

Our company, first in the industry, started in 1991 a new philosophy to support scientific instruments after sales, based mainly on chemists, chemical engineers, biochemists, food technologists, in addition to electronics and engineering, which until then covered almost exclusively the specific needs. Thus, a new sector was really created in our country for the creative employment of the above specialties, with BSc, MSc, PhD degrees, so that they can effectively fully cover any need for scientific and technical support of analytical chemistry instruments:

Installation
Training
Maintenance
Method Development
Scientific Support
Technical Support
Calibration

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION & PRESENCE

The extremely successful operation of OAKA's Doping Control Laboratory, during the "ATHENS 2004" Olympic Games, brought it to the top of the world, with significantly better performance, compared to all previous Olympic labs (Sydney, Barcelona and Atlanta).

HELLAMCO®, as the exclusive supplier and responsible for the impeccable operation, of at least 35 old and new mass spectrometers and mass spectrometers on a 24-hour basis, was invited in July 2005 as a consultant to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games organization.

In addition, the provision of high-level support services is also recognized by important projects-service contracts outside Greece (Austria, Albania, Armenia, Norway, etc). Indicatively, we provided specialized installation, calibration in 300 liquid and gas chromatographs (HPLC & GC) of all types, for 7 months in Austria (Santoz, 2014). We also successfully completed special training in the use of chromatography in the analysis of petroleum products in chemists, of the Baghdad State Laboratory (Athens, 2010).

HELLAMCO® is proud to stand worthy of the requirements of such important projects, which have been successfully completed, exclusively by its scientific personnel and expertise.

MILESTONES

Past

Future

HELLAMCO® began in 1984 with some basic analytical techniques – gas (GC) and liquid chromatography (HPLC), benchtop mass spectrometry, UV-Vis spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), while introducing to the Greek market many pioneering techniques for their time – Protein Synthesis & Sequencing, DNA Synthesis & Sequencing, High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), laser particle size analysis, capillary electrophoresis (CE).

The number of analytical methodologies we have been involved in over time, has expanded considerably in both related methods to the above – Thermal Analysis DSC/TGA, ICP-MS, MS-MS, MALDI, TOF, Q-TOF, IR-MS as to completely new – Bioanalyzer, Scan Arrays, RAMAN Spectroscopy, On-Line Measurements, Portable Counters of Various Parameters & Sizes and special extraction instruments for Natural Plants – Ethanol or CO2, SFC/SFE, industrial.

In the future, it is predicted that the combined techniques of today's analytical methodologies, as well as specific technologies in materials science, nanotechnology, as well as techniques to meet the needs of processing natural products and Agrotechnology, will be included in the areas of high interest and development.

CERTIFICATIONS

HELLAMCO® is certified for its High Quality Services with ISO 9001:2015, EN ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 17025:2017 of the company's Metrology Laboratory (Validation & Calibration). Especially for the balances, we are also certified for 2nd Stage Verification by a German Certification House.
