ELTEK SA at KRAKOW 2025: A Journey of Success and Innovation
Our Presence as Gold Sponsor at the 13th World Conference on Explosives and Blasting
ELTEK SA has returned with great satisfaction from the 13th World Conference on Explosives and Blasting, held at the ICE Krakow Congress Centre from September 20-23, 2025. As a Gold Sponsor of this premier international event in our industry, we had the opportunity to strengthen our position in the European market and showcase our latest innovations.
A Milestone Conference for the Industry
The EFEE World Conference on Explosives and Blasting stands as one of the most significant international events for the explosives sector, bringing together explosives users, manufacturers, drilling equipment operators, researchers, and professionals from the construction and mining industries. This year’s event in Krakow once again confirmed the importance of this gathering as a meeting point for the industry’s leading players.
Strategic Meetings and New Opportunities
The ELTEK SA team had the opportunity to meet with:
New Clients: We established significant contacts with companies from Germany, Poland, Scandinavian countries, and Eastern Europe, who showed strong interest in our products and services.
Existing Partners: We strengthened relationships with loyal clients who trust us for their explosive materials needs, reaffirming our continued commitment to quality and safety.
Industry Partners: We engaged with drilling equipment suppliers, engineering consulting firms, and safety companies, creating synergies that will enhance the value we provide to our clients.
Presentation of Innovative Products
One of the highlights of our participation was the presentation of our new products and technologies:
UG BULK EMULSION: Our bulk loading system, offering superior performance and economy for large-scale mining and quarrying operations.
Explo Gel Series: New variants of our gel explosives, designed for specific applications from underground works to open-pit mines.
ExploSplit: Our innovative solution for work requiring controlled splitting and minimal vibrations.
The response was exceptional, with many visitors showing particular interest in our unique Detonation Chamber, the only one in Europe, which allows us to develop and test products with unprecedented precision.
Technical Programme and Knowledge
The conference offered a rich technical programme with presentations covering critical topics:
- Blast Vibration and Seismology
- Blasting Work Experiences
- Demolition Blasting
- Drill and Blast Design Methods and Modelling
- Health & Safety in Drilling and Blasting
- Innovation and Technical Development
- Sustainability and Environmental Topics
Our team actively participated in these discussions, exchanging expertise and gaining valuable insights into the latest developments in the field.
The Power of Strategic Partnership
Our presence at the conference reflects our strategic partnership with Société Suisse des Explosifs (SSE), which has held 21.7% of ELTEK’s shares since 2022. This partnership provides us with access to advanced technology, expertise, and international methodologies that are unparalleled in Southeastern Europe.
This collaboration, combined with SSE’s 130 years of experience, enables us to bring to market solutions that combine Swiss quality with Greek entrepreneurship and local market knowledge.
Safe and Timely Delivery Everywhere
At the conference, we had the opportunity to present our capabilities in transporting explosives to Macedonia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Romania, Serbia, and Central and Northern Europe, including Germany, Poland, and the Scandinavian countries.
Our privately owned fleet of 16 trucks of various sizes, all certified ADR class EX III, represents a competitive advantage that was particularly appreciated by our counterparts.
Next Steps
Returning to Grevena, our team is energized with new ideas, contacts, and opportunities. The discussions we had at the conference are already being transformed into concrete projects and collaborations that will be announced in the coming months.
We remain committed to our vision of creating a model, pan-European center for the production and trading of explosives, maintaining the fastest growth in Southeastern Europe.
