At SIMPAS Live Better, a “real production day” is defined not by staged shots or filters, but by rhythm, precision, and the seamless coordination of skilled hands and high-tech machines. Recently, the company showcased this ethos with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their factory floor: the team at work, machinery in motion, and every step meticulously orchestrated to ensure quality in every component.
Highlighting their capabilities, SIMPAS also revealed a milestone achievement: the construction of the largest and heaviest wooden crate in the company’s history. Loaded with 3,500 kg of stainless steel and glass, the crate was entirely built and secured by hand, designed to withstand the rigors of international transport and destined for the heart of Manhattan. This feat demonstrates SIMPAS’s expertise not only in manufacturing but also in packaging and logistics for complex, high-value shipments.

Founded in 1979 in Ioannina, Greece, SIMPAS began as a family-run glass supply and installation business. Over the decades, it evolved into a specialized manufacturer of aluminum, steel, and glass fenestration systems, including windows, doors, curtain walls, and architectural façades. The company operates fully as an export business, with products delivered to over 200 projects globally, including North America and Israel, reflecting its precision-driven approach and international reputation.
The creation of the 3,500 kg crate involved strict adherence to industry standards for handling heavy and fragile materials. Glass panels and stainless steel elements were carefully positioned, cushioned, and secured using reinforced wooden frames and industrial-grade belts to prevent movement during shipping. Every detail, from weight distribution to structural reinforcement, reflects SIMPAS’s commitment to both craftsmanship and client safety, ensuring that complex architectural components arrive intact and ready for installation.
This milestone exemplifies SIMPAS Live Better’s philosophy: transparency, skill, and excellence in every step of the production process. By combining advanced manufacturing systems with human expertise, the company not only produces superior fenestration solutions but also demonstrates that the care behind each component is as important as the final installation. For SIMPAS, real production is about precision, reliability, and delivering value that extends from the workshop in Greece to projects around the world.
