The beginning

It all started by two brothers, Constantine and Vasileios Kousioris. In 1956, Constantine Kousioris was working as an apprentice engineer in different garages.

Vasilis Kousioris

In 1963, Vasilis Kousioris was hired in the same company as well and worked as an engineer assistant.

Company transfer

In 1967, the company was transferred to a larger space (3, Karion and Konstatinoupoleos street).

Over 40 years of specialization in Mercedes

In 1974, after the merging of “Hanomag” with “Mercedes-Benz”, “KOSTAKIS” company began to deal with “Mercedes-Benz”.

Thomas Kousioris

In 1995, Constantine’s son, Thomas Kousioris, became part of the company and a new dynamic era began. In 1997, Vasilis’ son, named also Thomas Kousioris studied in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department in the University of London. Until 2001, he had finished his master studies in Scotland. From 2001 to 2004, he dealt with practical cases in the field of ‘Service Providing of Professional vehicles’ and was present at seminars associated with the ‘Mercedes-Benz’ professional vehicles.
