Ekte A.T.E.B.E Technical Company: A Second Kemppi Order, Pre- and Post-Brexit

A second order, years after the first — proof that Brexit hasn't slowed cross-border trade with Greece.

TIG Welding International Kemppi Construction

When Ekte A.T.E.B.E Technical Company needed more Kemppi TIG equipment, owner Dimitris Seretis came straight back to Westermans. Proof that Brexit hasn't got in the way of a good working relationship.

The customer

Ekte A.T.E.B.E, based in Thessaloniki, is a leading Greek construction company delivering large-scale, turnkey projects. From industrial buildings, warehouses and logistics parks to hotels, offices, clinics and residential developments. Steel structures are a core part of its construction offering, and owner Dimitris Seretis keeps that work running mostly on Kemppi TIG equipment.

The challenge

Cross-border purchasing post-Brexit: needed confidence that ordering from a UK supplier would remain as smooth as before
Reliable equipment for large-scale steel structure work: TIG welders capable of holding up across major construction projects, not just workshop-scale jobs
Competitive pricing: wanted fair prices without compromising on machine condition
Consistency across repeat orders: looking for the same reliable experience with this second order as the first

Westermans recommendation

A Kemppi MasterTig 2200 DC TIG welder, followed by a Kemppi MLS 3000 Mastertig; a 300A DC TIG welder with a compact, portable design and quick pulse function for improved welding speed and quality. Supplied in excellent condition at a fair price.

"Kemppi's popularity in Greece isn't unusual; it's one of the most trusted names in TIG welding across Southern Europe. Once a workshop like Dimitris's has one running well, they usually come back for the same brand rather than switching."

— Craig Westerman, Sales Director, Westermans International

Why this setup worked

Because the first Kemppi order delivered on price and condition, Dimitris didn't hesitate to come back to us for a second, even with Brexit added in the mix. Consistency in both equipment quality and service made repeat cross-border buying straightforward.
