The LALIZAS Force travelled from all over the world to gather on the island of Aegina for the LALIZAS Branches Synergy Summit, which takes place every two years. More than 80 colleagues from across the globe (Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Croatia, Montenegro, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the USA, Canada, Brazil, Colombia, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines, and South Africa) came together for this unique event in the marine safety industry.
The summit was a great opportunity for everyone, from long-standing team members to newly integrated colleagues, to meet, connect, and “cross borders.”
Over three full days, participants attended presentations and training sessions covering new product developments, corporate news, strategic directions, and, of course, any additional support needed by their teams — all focused on promoting innovation and excellence in safety equipment for boats and professional maritime environments.
Celebrating 25 years of rebirth
The timing of this year’s summit was especially meaningful, as it coincided with the 25th anniversary of a major milestone in the company’s history. Back in 2000, LALIZAS faced a catastrophic fire that almost drove them out of business – a total loss.
Yet, from that moment, the company rebuilt stronger than ever, becoming a symbol of maritime safety solutions and entrepreneurial resilience.
To commemorate 25 years of rebirth, the Marketing & Communications Department proudly presented a new book titled “From Ashes to Rebirth | A True Story of Inner Strength, Leadership, and Entrepreneurial Recovery,” featuring the personal narration of Stavros Lalizas himself — a true maritime leadership story.
Awards
As LALIZAS deeply value their people and recognise progress, this year they were once again proud to honour not one, but two Branches of the Year, both of which went above and beyond throughout 2025, demonstrating exceptional effort and performance: LALIZAS UK and Antipiros.
This year’s LALIZAS Branches Synergy Summit came to an end, leaving all attendees inspired, connected, and ready to navigate the future together.
United by shared values and driven by a common vision, the LALIZAS Force continues to grow stronger as one global team, shaping the future of marine safety innovation worldwide.
