With a special anniversary event, Poseidon Marine Supplies celebrated 50
years of continuous presence and growth, marking a journey that began in
1976 and remains closely connected to the maritime industry and the Port of
Piraeus. Under the anniversary message “50 Never Looked So Good”, the
company celebrated half a century of progress and achievement, together
with the people who have contributed, and continue to contribute, to its
journey.
The event took place on Friday, 18 September, at ‘Nice n Easy’ at Piraeus Tower,
an iconic venue offering panoramic views over the port. Clients, partners,
employees and friends of the company came together for an evening dedicated to
Poseidon’s history, its people and its future.
A highlight of the evening was the speech by the company’s Founder and CEO, Mr Michael
Papachastas, who, with both emotion and humour, took guests back to
Poseidon’s early days — from its small store on Akti Miaouli in 1976 to the
company’s international presence today. Through personal memories and stories
from its 50-year journey, he paid tribute to the people who stood by his side and
contributed to Poseidon’s growth, emphasising that the company’s greatest
achievement is, above all, its people.
Among the distinguished guests was the First Vice President of the Hellenic
Parliament, Mr Ioannis Plakiotakis, along with representatives of the
maritime community, journalists, clients, partners and employees of Poseidon
Marine Supplies.
In a warm and festive atmosphere, guests enjoyed a selection of culinary creations and
drinks from the open bar. The evening continued with dancing to the DJ’s upbeat
music, under the moonlight and with the Port of Piraeus as a backdrop,
creating the perfect setting to celebrate this special anniversary.
