H PAUL HARTMANN Hellas A.E. supports ARCHELON
PAUL HARTMANN Hellas A.E. is one of them and we greatly appreciate it! PAUL HARTMANN Hellas A.E, the Greek affiliated company of the HARTMANN Group association, has proceeded to a sponsorship offer for the protection of Caretta caretta, at the request of ARCHELON. This covers ARCHELONSʼ annual needs of medical products for the treatment of the injured sea turtles, involving bandages, disposable gloves, and surgical robes. PAUL HARTMANN Hellas S.A. was founded in 2002 – its offices registered in Glyfada – as a subsidiary of the German HARTMANN GROUP.
The HARTMANN GROUP is one of the leading European providers of medical and hygiene products with core ranges in wound management, incontinence management and infection management. The company also offers products for compression therapy, immobilization and First Aid. PAUL HARTMANN AG in Heidenheim/Brenz is the heart of the Group. It is one of the oldest German industrial companies, dating back to a textile factory established by Ludwig von Hartmann in 1818.
With its reliable products for use in the areas of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, care and hygiene, the company is making an invaluable contribution to improving the quality of life of all those who trust its products – making the companyʼs oval blue logo a guarantee of quality. Our wish is to see more companies follow this example, by helping us provide effective treatment to all injured sea turtles which arrive at the Rescue Centre from all parts of the country. The Rescue Centre is open for visitors every weekend between 11:00 – 17:00 and is located at the 3rd Marina of Glyfada, tram stop “Palaio Dimarhio”.
