A Family Legacy Forged in Quality:
Established in 1979 by Themistoklis Simpas, the company’s foundation was built on a commitment to providing superior quality glass panes and panels.

The company’s ethos, perfectly encapsulated by the Socratic ideal, “We cannot live better than in seeking to become better,” is reflected in every aspect of its operations, from sourcing premium materials to delivering exceptional customer service.
Strategic Growth and Global Expansion:
The early 2000s marked a significant turning point for Simpas. Under the leadership of brothers George and John Simpas, the company strategically expanded into aluminum frame manufacturing in 2009. This bold move saw Simpas forge partnerships with industry giants like Schüco, Reynaers, and Secco Sistemi, opening doors to new technologies, advanced manufacturing techniques, and access to international markets. This strategic collaboration not only enhanced the quality of Simpas’ products but also broadened its global reach and solidified its position as a leading player in the fenestration industry.
The expansion continued with a momentous leap into the US market in 2018, demonstrating Simpas’ ambition and confidence in its products. This expansion wasn’t merely about geographical reach; it was about proving the company’s ability to compete and succeed on a global scale. The subsequent expansion of facilities in 2021, increasing the production space to 50,700 square feet with 13,000 square feet dedicated to premium aluminum and steel window and door manufacturing, underlines Simpas’ commitment to meeting the growing global demand for its high-quality products. This strategic expansion culminated in 2022 with Simpas becoming a 100% export company, a true testament to its international success.
