June 14 is dedicated to World Blood Donor Day, a day that honors the selfless contribution of voluntary blood donors across the globe. Every drop of blood can make a difference for someone in urgent need, whether it’s accident victims, surgical patients, cancer patients, or individuals with chronic conditions such as thalassemia.

To mark this important occasion, CORDIA organized and carried out a voluntary blood donation drive on June 12, in collaboration with Evangelismos Hospital.

Employees from all our group companies (ESA Security, Skymar, and Imagin) participated in this act of solidarity, once again proving that giving is an essential part of who we are.

Why Blood Donation Matters

Voluntary blood donation is a cornerstone of the modern healthcare system. It ensures that hospitals have access to a safe and sufficient blood supply, not only in emergencies but also for ongoing medical treatments.

In Greece, the need for blood remains significant:

• More than 120,000 units of blood are needed annually for patients with thalassemia alone.
• Hospitals face frequent shortages, especially during the summer months when demand increases and donations decline.
• Although more than 500,000 blood donations are made each year, a large percentage still comes from replacement donors (family/friends of patients), rather than regular voluntary donors, who provide the safest and most sustainable solution.

This is why initiatives like ours are so important. They promote a culture of giving and raise awareness about the vital importance of blood donation.

An Act of Giving That Unites Us

At CORDIA, social responsibility is an integral part of our philosophy. We believe that giving back to the community is a shared duty and that even the simplest actions can have the power to transform lives.

A heartfelt thank you to all the employees who participated in the blood drive. Your act truly saves lives and sends a powerful message of hope and solidarity. We are proud to stand united not just as colleagues, but as active members of a society that cares and gives.

The Group’s first international investment involves the acquisition of a majority stake in Mundus Services, the largest provider of technical maintenance, building cleaning, and facility and infrastructure services in Bulgaria. The second investment includes the acquisition of a significant stake in a manned guarding and security services company in Cyprus, in a strategic partnership with the Papaelina family, led by Athos Papaelinas.

Mundus Services, which serves 4,000 facilities and operates through 7 offices in Bulgaria, is the country’s largest provider of technical maintenance and cleaning services, with revenues of €20 million and an operating profit of €2 million. The company boasts extensive industry experience, significant technical expertise, advanced technological systems, and a distinguished clientele of prominent domestic and multinational companies.

The experienced management team of Mundus Services will remain at the helm, retaining a minority shareholding, while committing to further develop the company’s operations in the coming years, particularly in energy-saving solutions, electrification, and advanced IoT applications. The Papaelina family’s equity participation company, following CORDIA’s investment, will join the Group’s ESA Security Solutions, aiming to strengthen its presence in the Cypriot market in manned guarding, advanced “smart” security systems, as well as in the development of technical maintenance, energy solutions, and building cleaning services.

The CORDIA Group, a joint investment by SMERemediumCap and the Latsco family office, is transforming into one of the largest facility management companies in the region following these two new international investments. The Group’s turnover is estimated to exceed €165 million by 2025, with an expected operating profit of over €10 million during the same period, while employing 5,000 people and maintaining a strong and reputable client portfolio.

Over the past three years, the SMERemediumCap Investment Fund has established, through acquisitions and organic growth, the largest facility management services Group in Greece and the broader region. Through the wide range of services it offers both domestically and internationally, and with a strong competitive advantage in its experienced and skilled workforce, the CORDIA Group fully meets the needs of its clients with integrated solutions, from technical maintenance and energy upgrades of buildings and infrastructure to manned guarding, “smart” security systems, and the cleaning of facilities, infrastructure, and buildings.

The Group’s goal is the continuous upgrade of the services offered to its clients, through the provision of innovative, high-standard solutions that leverage cutting-edge technologies, on competitive terms, with transparency and consistency.

The completion of the transactions is subject to approval by the relevant authorities.

As part of our initiatives, we were pleased to collaborate with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) to host students from the 1st EPAL of Nea Smyrni at our facilities. This allowed students the opportunity to experience modern technologies and systems applied in real-life installations. The visit was not just a simple presentation, but an immersive learning experience where students actively participated, asked questions, and understood how critical energy and electrical systems function in practice.

During the visit, students had the chance to explore and learn about:

• The structure of the medium and low voltage network of the SNFCC
• Medium voltage fields and switches
• 20,000V/400V step-down transformers
• Low voltage fields and distribution panels
• DEH/HZ switching fields
• The 800kVA generator set
• The HZ control automation panel
• Automatic extinguishing systems
• The facility’s BMS system

This experience provided students with a unique insight into how technology contributes to energy efficiency and safety in large facilities such as the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC). At the same time, students asked questions about the professional profile of modern technicians, market requirements, and in-demand skills. We also discussed employment opportunities in the energy and building infrastructure sectors, highlighting the prospects available for those choosing the technical field.

At CORDIA, we believe that investing in the education of young people is as important as investing in technological infrastructures. We plan more actions and collaborations to enrich the knowledge and skills of future professionals. Our goal is to continue leading the industry by investing in people, technology, and innovation.

• Since 2017, CORDIA has continued to passionately support one of the most emblematic projects in Greece. We thank the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) for their trust.

The PV capacity is 661,65kW in 5 different buildings.

The PV plant will operate as an independent power plant, channeling the energy produced to the internal electrical systems. This strategic move is aimed at reducing dependence on the public electricity distribution grid. In addition, in times of excess, energy it will be injected into the grid.

We thank EUROBANK for its trust in us to create a positive footprint on the environment.
