The NEORION Syros Shipyards

Neorion is one of the oldest Greek heavy industries, located in Ermoupolis, on the Greek island of Syros. Today, it is one of the few remaining major industrial corporations in shipbuilding in what used to be the industrial and commercial center of Greece, before being eclipsed by Piraeus in the late 19th century.

Neorion during the second half of the 19th century was one of the most important Greek heavy industries.

During the 1860s, in addition to ship building, it produced steam engines, boilers, pumps, and heavy cannons, A heavy steam engine of its own design and construction was exhibited at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1878. In 1893, the company produced its first metal steamship (the Athena).

One of the original concepts of battery electric city cars worldwide, the Enfield 8000 was introduced in 1973 by the Greek-British company Enfield Automotive (owned by Goulandris Bros, former Neorion owners).

The company was incorporated into the Greek Neorion Syros Shipyards (Enfield – Neorion) and production was transferred to the island of Syros.
