The Association of Greek Contracting Companies (SATE) was
established in 1965. Its founding members were entrepreneurs
Panayotis Kapasakalis, Dionysios Klavdianos, Athanasios Koutlas,
Konstantinos Kraniotis, Theodoros Konstantopoulos and Gabriel
Rotskos. Αt that time Greek contracting companies started to
maximize their contribution to the Greek economy and society by
undertaking the construction of large government and privately-funded
projects.
SATE was established to coordinate the common effort by the
government and the construction sector aimed at the country's
development, to upgrade the cooperation between the social
partners.
According to its statutes, SATE'S objective is to promote and
protect the interests of its member companies, deal with the
sector's problems, put forward well documented views, explore
technical and economic issues in Greece, coordinate the activity
of its members in promoting the country's interests, publicize
and commend their achievements, and, finally, provide reliable
and timely information on developments at a European and
national level.
During the years of its existence, SATE has been able to abide
by its statutory principles and establish itself as the most
reliable adviser of the government and the sector. It has always
put its views forward, made recommendations and proposals, and
taken initiatives with the desired outcome and the fulfilment of
its objectives in mind, as this is dictated by the country's
economic and social needs in the context of a healthy,
competitive and free market.
After the completion of the Single European Market in the post-Economic
and Monetary Union (EMU) era - when markets are to become
international - and in view of the challenges and opportunities
in the purely construction sector, the implementation of the
third Community Support Framework, the organization of the 2004
Olympic Games, and developments in the neighboring markets of
South-Eastern Europe and Black Sea countries, SATE - the trades
union instrument of Greek contracting companies which is
constantly renewed and adapted to current needs - is playing a
leading role in its relations with the government, other
contracting associations, thus confirming and justifying its
role as a top-level union in the sensitive sector of the
construction industry.
Moreover, SATE has had for a number of years, a fruitful
collaboration with the European Union and E.U. institutions and
committees.
SATE's basic objective is to help its member companies maximize
their involvement in the utilization of the country's resources,
the creation of national wealth through business activity, the
management of structural problems such as unemployment, and the
overall improvement of Greece's position in a united Europe, the
Balkans and the international community.
SATE is managed by a thirteen-member Board of Administration.
The Association's regular members comprise all lawfully
established companies (Societes Anonymes, Limited Liability,
General Partnership, Limited Partnership) of the construction
sector, based in Greece and registered in the Contracting
Companies Register of the Ministry of Infrastructure and
Transport.
It is the most representative corporate contracting association
– our members exceed 700 enterprises, employing more than 4.000
experienced Engineers of all kinds, and totally more than 60.000
employees, while the geographical breakdown highlights the
nationwide Association's dimension - over 62% of enterprises-members
are based in a region other than Attica. To better serve its
members in these regions the Association has 8 regional offices
in cities: Thessaloniki, Larissa, Patra, Kozani, Komotini,
Ioannina, Mytiline and Heraklion Crete.
Members of the Association sit on various committees and boards,
offering valuable services through their varied and specialized
expertise. Another important aspect of the Association's
activity is to provide timely and reliable information and
guidance to its members.
In conclusion, SATE is a live union, able to cope with current
developments with increased sensitivity and sense of
responsibility.
