Τεντόπανα Protection

PROTECTION - NIKOLAOU SA is an evolving
pioneering Greek technical fabric company
with a history in the textile industry since 1960. It
is a family-own business, third generation, based
in Athens, Greece, with views in foreign markets
and always in respect to its local production line.

The company was initially built in 1960 by Aristidis
Nikolaou (1940-2010), self-made businessman
who decided to operate in the textile industry,
housing a small textile plant in N. Ionia Attica, for
the production of heavy cotton Denim type Fabrics.
Within a decade, the founder successfully
manufactured innovative waterproof fabrics for
exterior use, suitable for solar protection. In collaboration
to distinguished European suppliers of
raw materials, he presented the first waterproof
100% awning fabric and managed to evolve the
range of its product line in a huge variety of
striped, printed and plain designs. The company’s
primary goal has, since then, been quality assurance
at all production stages, from weaving to
the final product.

Nowadays, the company has penetrated dynamically
the foreign markets and is now exporting its
products to the Balkans, EU, and the rest of the
world at an evolving pace.
In its recently renovated industrial plant, PROTECTION
S.A. produces the largest variety of technical
fabrics in Greece. Final controls are effectuated
at the company’ s headquarters, in the area
of Acharnai, Athens, from where the products
are then being distributed through our extensive
sales network to the domestic and international
markets.
Our aim is to establish PROTECTION S.A. positions
among the top international sun protection fabrics
brands worldwide while keeping a high-end
production line in its mother land, Greece.
