Firm Foundations

George Mouskis was a pioneer of the European Aluminium Industry. He had a humble background, however he was a man with a passion for learning and quickly realized aluminium’s potential as a new building material, at time when the metal was relatively unheard of. He founded MUSKITA from a small company he established with 10 employees that made aluminium structures in Cyprus.
