Robe announces a new distributor in Greece, Space Lights, a company based in two bustling port cities, headquartered in Thessaloniki with another office in Piraeus at the core of the Athens urban area.

This allows the most efficient nationwide geographical coverage for sales, service and support and frictionless access to all regions of the Greek market.

Space Lights, like Robe, is a family-owned and run company, headed by the energetic brother-and-sister team of Ourania and Asterios Gourgoulas. They understand the importance of proactivity, great support and a people-focussed business model in a fast-paced universe, also similar to Robe.

The company was founded in 1983 by Ourania and Asterios’ father, Athanasios Gourgoulas, initially starting as a manufacturing enterprise. As ‘industry babies’, Ourania and Asterios commented that growing up in that environment has given them a huge love of the industry as well as  “unique insights” into the world of entertainment technology.

In 2000, Space Lights expanded its activities and started importing professional lighting fixtures badged under their own brand name.

Their client base covers all areas of professional lighting – from clubs and hospitality venues to live shows, concerts, festivals and touring, to television, broadcast and theatre productions.

In 2026, the time was right to look for a top-level moving light brand to partner with for their various high-end clients and projects.

Ourania explained that Space Lights had been aware of Robe for some considerable time, originally through Starway products back in the day when Robe was an OEM manufacturer! So, they saw Robe launch as a brand in 2002 and grow to become a global market leader.

“Over the years, we have always considered Robe as a leading professional lighting industry manufacturer, not only in Europe but internationally,” explained Asterios. “We have great respect for Robe’s ability to innovate, develop its products and maintain a strong and constantly evolving industry presence.”

This was a major driving force for them to complete this deal and become part of The Robe Family.

Bram De Clerck, Robe’s BDM and key account manager, commented, “Greece holds a special place in my heart, and I am delighted to welcome Space Lights as our new distributor. Their spirit and passion for the industry mirror our own; there are a lot of shared goals and visions, and it will make a fantastic long-term partnership. I’m looking forward to building something beautiful together and letting our lights shine all over Greece!”

Space Lights’ immediate objectives are to “strengthen Robe’s position in the Greek market, increase brand awareness and – naturally – its market share,” notes Asterios.

They will enthusiastically engage in developing Robe in Greece and supporting customers and partners, including rental companies and a wide range of lighting and production professionals.

The commitment stretches well beyond product distribution, as plans are already in motion to invest in infrastructure for supporting product demonstrations, technical support, training sessions, coupled with continuous communication campaigns via combined media channels.

“We will be ensuring that the Greek market stays informed about and inspired by Robe’s products and latest technologies,” commented Ourania.

With over 40 years’ industry experience and a formidable network of contacts, Space Lights offers strong technical knowledge, expertise and an informed understanding of the Greek market and its specific needs and demands, including being fast, reliable, responsive and present when needed.

“We think this partnership will be a winning one,” concludes Asterios, citing the synergy of Robe’s technical creativity and engineering quality with Space Lights’ knowledge and established presence in the Greek market, coupled with their love of the industry and what they do!
