The Company C. Rokas SA, was founded in 1958 by Mr. Christos Rokas, having as main scope of business the construction and installation of lifting and handling equipment, as well as heavy machinery and steel structures. In 1977, following its conversion into a SA, the Company built its new modern production unit in the Industrial Zone of Tripolis and started specializing in more complex steel structures, supplying equipment to major commercial ports, shipyards and heavy industries in Greece and abroad.

In 1990, the Company was listed in the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE). During the period 1991-1992, the Company constructed the first wind farms in Greece for the Public Power Corporation (PPC).

In 1998, the Company constructed the first private wind farm in Greece, with a capacity of 10.2 MW in Sitia, Crete, paving the way for the development of Renewable Energy Sources in the country. Rokas was awarded the “Best investment of the year” award by the Center for Renewable Energy Sources.

In 2000, as a confirmation of the importance placed by the Company on the quality of its products, it was certified as per international standards ISO 9001/1994 and in 2003 as per ISO 9001/2000.

In 2004, Rokas becomes a member of the Iberdrola Group, a world leader in renewable energy sources, with considerable international presence in over 30 countries.

Today, the Company holds a leading position in both sectors of its activity, Renewable Energy Sources and electromechanical equipment. Especially in Wind Energy, Rokas has a considerable market share with its total installed capacity of 200.3 MW.
