Our Path in Time
Drag the mouse to see our history year by year
Andreas Chronis, a lawyer and researcher of the history of transportation, in his book “Our Road Transport and Greek Coachbuilders” (2025), documents the history of Greek transportation, starting from the early 1930s. He focuses on the evolution of transport, referring to pioneering companies of the era, as well as the construction of wooden coach bodies by Greek craftsmen that served both passenger and freight needs.
A distinct chapter of the book is dedicated to the significant contribution of the Saracakis Group of Companies to modern Greek history in the field of coachbuilding and to the introduction of major international bus manufacturers, such as Volvo and Renault, to Greece. Ioannis Saracakis (1895–1975), founder of the Saracakis Group of Companies, through his foresight and targeted entrepreneurial initiatives, left an indelible mark on the history of Greek coachbuilding. His legacy continues to this day, as the leadership of the Saracakis Group of Companies has passed to the third generation of the founding family.
