Lalizas has opened a new branch and an 880sqm warehouse facility in the Philippines.
The expansion follows on from the company’s acquisition of Ativa Náutica in Brazil and the expansion of Lalizas through its Canadian branch.
The move strengthens the company’s footprint in Southeast Asia as it says it is committed to making its products and services more accessible to maritime professionals in the region.
The Philippine branch, located in Manila, will operate as a regional hub, improving product availability, logistics efficiency and customer support for local distributors, shipowners and maritime operators.
“The Philippines is a cornerstone of the global maritime industry and expanding our presence here is a natural step in our global growth strategy,” explained Dr Tasos Galanakis, vice president and CCO.
Our goal is not only to supply products, but to be a trusted, long-term partner for the Philippine maritime community.

Stavros Lalizas, CEO added: “By opening a local branch, we are investing in closer relationships with our partners and ensuring faster, more reliable access to certified marine safety equipment.”
The new branch brings Lalizas worldwide presence to 14 branches, eight logistic centres, six franchises, eight production plants and more than 1,000 team members.
“Our goal is not only to supply products, but to be a trusted, long-term partner for the Philippine maritime community,” said Crispo Mojica, country manager of the Lalizas Philippines.
“This new branch allows us to respond more quickly to customer needs, reduce lead times, and provide localised expertise that supports safer and more efficient maritime operations.”
