Houtris was honored to welcome the Minister of Defence of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr. Vasilis Palmas, for an official visit to our headquarters. This meaningful encounter underscores the growing collaboration between the public and private sectors in advancing the Cyprus Defence Industry.
As part of the government’s broader effort to engage with key industry players, Mr. Palmas toured our manufacturing facilities and was introduced to our latest developments in military and firefighting vehicles. The visit served as an opportunity to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to innovation, safety, and engineering excellence — values that lie at the core of Houtris.
Our CEO, Yiannis Houtris, delivered a detailed presentation outlining the company’s vision, technological capabilities, and the role Houtris plays in developing high-performance, locally engineered solutions for defence and emergency services. The discussion also covered the importance of supporting homegrown manufacturing and how strategic cooperation can address the evolving security challenges faced both locally and globally.
We were proud to showcase our robust capabilities, including our state-of-the-art production process, advanced vehicle designs, and our unwavering focus on quality and customization. The dialogue with Mr. Palmas and his delegation was both insightful and inspiring, opening up new possibilities for future synergies.
This visit marks a pivotal step toward reinforcing the connection between the state and industry leaders — a connection that is essential for national resilience, innovation, and growth.
We extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Palmas for his time, trust, and interest in our work, and to his delegation for their warm presence. At Houtris, we remain committed to delivering excellence and contributing to the progress of Cyprus’s strategic industries.
