CNC spindle repair for Greece
We are a small independent spindle workshop in Sankt Augustin, near Bonn in Germany. Every repair is done in that one workshop by the owner, Paul Kloss. A spindle from Greece reaches us as EU freight, usually by trailer through the Balkans or by ferry to Italy and then north by road.
The market
Spindles from Greek industry
Greek machining work sits close to the sea. Repair yards at Perama and Elefsina, marine engineering shops around Piraeus, and the food and packaging machinery builders near Thessaloniki and Larissa between them run a lot of older equipment. What arrives from Greece tends to be motor spindles from vertical centres, boring and milling spindles from heavy machine tools, and grinder spindles. Salt air is a factor: corroded shafts and pitted bearing seats are more common than in inland markets.
Getting the spindle here
Getting a spindle out of Greece
Greece is in the EU, so no customs procedure applies and no export declaration is required. The road leg is long, though: groupage from Attica to the Rhineland is often five to eight days each way, and that time belongs to your forwarder, not to our workshop schedule. For an urgent, compact spindle, air freight from Athens is worth pricing. On-site work in Greece is only possible by prior technical arrangement, so the correct parts and measuring gear travel with the technician.

Questions
Greece spindle repair — frequently asked
For a common spindle that can be exchanged locally, freight to Germany and back rarely pays for itself. For a rare, high-value or discontinued unit, or one no longer supported by the machine builder, it usually does. Send us the type plate and the fault and we will say plainly which case we think yours is.
No. There is one workshop, in Sankt Augustin in Germany, and no branch, warehouse, partner or permanent staff anywhere else. Everything is repaired here. A technician can travel to Greece, but only by prior technical arrangement, once we know the machine and the fault well enough to bring the right parts and instruments.
Typically 5 to 10 working days from arrival, depending on parts availability and what the teardown reveals. It is an estimate, not a committed date; a binding date only counts if we put it in writing. The sea and road transit each way is separate and is arranged by your own freight forwarder.
