Established in 1991, Franman provides a wide range of equipment, parts, products and services to the shipping industry.

The company has in-depth knowledge, and well-established relationships, within Greek and International shipping.

From the beginning, the company followed the model of the Japanese Trading Houses with their one-stop-shop philosophy. The company focused on building partnerships in the Far East – initially Japan and South Korea, and later China.

Franman has always aspired to be a leader in its field. This has fueled its drive to expand its partnerships and hence its offerings to shipowners.

During these 33 years, the company has equipped 5,500 newbuildings. Today, the company connects 700 shipping companies with 200 suppliers of equipment and services.

In 2020 Franman received the Efkranti Shipping Award for “Best Strategic Communication” and in 2021 was the proud recipient of the Lloyds List Piraeus International Centre Award.

Culture, ethics, work environment and the development of new executives are some of the pillars that make Franman stand out. In recognition of its dedication to creating such an exceptional workplace, Franman was awarded the “Great Place to Work 2022” prize.
