ÅÔÅÌÁ was the first company
in Greece that was involved with the supply, installation
and maintenance of special equipment for ski centers (chair
lift, ski center of Metsovo-Karakoli, 1968). From
1976 until 1984 ETEMA, through the Mechanical Engineer
Mr. K. Karamertzanis, was assigned the technical management
of operation and maintenance of Parnassos ski center,
which was and still remains the biggest ski center in
our country.
From the beginning of the 1980s, ÅÔÅÌÁ
has taken over tenths of projects regarding supply,
installation, shortening and magnetic inductive testing
of wire ropes and of many other material, such as a
return station for a surface lift, grips, bullwheels,
safety circuits and evacuation equipment for the lifts
of ski center Parnassos. In parallel, works expanded
to the rest of the country and in particular in the
ski centers of Metsovo, Kalavrita, Pilio, Florina and
3-5 Pigadia.

the dismantling of all sheave assemblies, the inspections
of the chair grips with penetrating liquids, of the linchpins
with ultrasonic testing and of the seating rings of the roller
bearings with magnetic particle testing, the replacement and
connection of the largest part of the cable of the safety

In the field of inspection and certification, ETEMA has since
2003 exclusive co-operation with EVETAM SA, which is certified
by the Hellenic Accreditation System for the field of periodical
inspection of ski lifts. ETEMA and EVETAM have accomplished
since the beginning of their co-operation tenths of magnetic
inductive tests on wire ropes as well as periodical (annual)
inspections of chair and surface lifts, with fixed and detachable
grips in the ski centers of Parnassos, Kalavrita, Metsovo,

Moreover, ETEMA’s technical crew also
undertakes cleaning and lubrication of wire ropes of all types
of ski lifts in very competitive prices.
