With more than half a century of experience in the shipbuilding and ship repair industry, DK Fotinakis is expanding its presence in the defence sector through its participation in Naval Group’s Hellenic Industrial Participation programme.
The Greek ship repair company DK Fotinakis has signed a new agreement with French shipbuilding company Naval Group during EURONAVAL 2026, the international naval defence exhibition held in Paris.
The agreement forms part of Naval Group’s Hellenic Industrial Participation (HIP) programme and marks a significant development for DK Fotinakis, further expanding its activities in the naval defence industry. The company already has an established presence in Greece’s ship repair sector and is actively contributing to its revival, undertaking, among other projects, demanding construction work at Skaramangas Shipyards.
Under the agreement, DK Fotinakis will undertake welding work and the preparation of technical studies, drawing on its extensive experience in ship repairs and mechanical engineering.
DK Fotinakis’ participation in the programme highlights the capabilities of Greek companies to meet the requirements of international naval programmes and provide specialised technical services to major European shipbuilding groups.
The agreement was signed on 4 November 2026 at the Hellenic Pavilion during EURONAVAL 2026 in Paris. DK Fotinakis was among ten Greek companies that signed new contracts with Naval Group during the exhibition, as part of the efforts to strengthen Greek industrial participation.
For DK Fotinakis, the collaboration with Naval Group represents another important milestone in the company’s history, building on its long-standing activities in commercial shipping and opening up new opportunities for cooperation in the defence industry.
