The services offered, concern the holistic approach of industrial minerals. Standard methodologies h

in.mat-Lab was founded in 2016 with headquarters in Lavrion Technological Cultural Park by an experienced team of Mining & Metallurgy Engineers, aiming to cover a set of innovative services in the neuralgic sector of industrial minerals and their applications worldwide. With long experience in minerals, such as perlite and bentonite, as well as vermiculite, zeolite etc., it transfers knowledge and analytical methodologies to the next level of industrial evaluation in the fields of mining research and exploration as well as laboratory and commercial development of new products up to recycling and minimization of waste. in.mat-Lab is aiming at a most precise Value-to-Client Analysis based on market-oriented laboratory protocols. With results verified on industrial scale by its clients, the company offers critical information for smart mining and furthermore on targeted features regarding end products and their applications. For this reason and specificaly for perlie and vermiculite, a specialized laboratory has been installed, operating a multi-task lab expansion furnace, having the ability to process all grades/qualities and providing analytical data on each sample’s properties and characteristics directly related to the various final applications.

"Leaves and Sun"
by Studio Martomeli (September '26)

A dedication from the creator and paint artist, Mrs. Martha K. Martomeli, whom we deeply thank for donating her painting to in.mat-Lab:

When the Logo Met Miró

"It all began with an idea:
How can a corporate logo break free from the narrow confines of graphic design and take on a soul of its own on the canvas?
The inspiration came from in.mat-Lab.

Its symbol—the sun rising above organic leaves—already carried an innate harmony. But when one of the owners’ love for Joan Miró’s surrealist universe became the inspiration, the brushes came to life.
The canvas (30×40) was transformed into a meeting ground for two different worlds. The clean, geometric shapes of the logo embraced the bold black lines, the spirals, the floating asterisks and the playful brushstrokes of the primary colours. The sun and the leaves were no longer merely a service mark, but the very heart of a vibrant, abstract landscape.
The work was conceived as a personal, thoughtful gift—a reminder that science, technology and corporate identity can always engage in dialogue with fine art."

We are excited to announce that our MD Dr. Antonia Ekonomakou, will participate as a speaker at the 2026 Annual Meeting in Würzburg, Germany, 27-30 September.

Dr. Ekonomakou will make a presentation entitled: “Innovative expanded perlite/xerogel composites with advanced insulation properties combined with low environmental footprint”.

A brief description of my presentation can be summarized as follows:
To achieve thermal comfort within a building’s interior, passive methods are the optimal solutions for reducing energy consumption and creating a healthy environment, particularly in temperate and tropical regions. The challenge of designing low-energy or passive buildings with a net-zero energy balance is met by composite materials consisting of expanded perlite combined with xerogel, for use in structural elements with the aim of saving energy during the building’s operation. The EP/Xerogel composite materials developed as part of the e-CODOMH B2B research project offer improved insulating properties whilst also reducing production costs compared to equivalent commercial products. The optimal formulations were used to insulate the pilot demonstration building. Measurements showed that the difference between external and internal temperatures exceeded 1°C, making these materials particularly effective in maintaining thermal comfort indoors and, consequently, reducing energy consumption.

Research and Innovation Matchmaking Event 2026
Cyprus, Greece and Czechia

As in.mat-Lab, we are delighted to announce our participation in a two-day Research and Innovation Matchmaking Event, that took place in Athens, Greece, on 8-9 June 2026.
The European Office of Cyprus (EOC), as a member of EEN Cyprus, in cooperation with EEN Hellas and EEN Czechia, invited academics, researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs to participate.
The event was designed for universities and research organizations, as well as companies, especially SMEs and startups, and innovation multipliers wishing to connect, explore synergies and build strong partnerships for current and upcoming opportunities under Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, CERV, Creative Europe, and other relevant EU programs.
The pitching sessions were intended to assist participants showcase their interests and capacities, identify complementary partners, and stimulate the development of future project consortia and collaborations.

At in.mat-Lab, we are advancing the frontier of lightweight composite materials engineered for superior thermal insulation performance.
After an intensive phase of research and material optimization, our team has successfully developed a novel composite system combining reduced density with enhanced insulating characteristics. The material architecture has been designed to address growing demands for energy efficiency, structural performance, and scalable manufacturing.
The product has now reached a key milestone and is entering the next phase of validation and performance evaluation as we prepare the pathway toward commercialization.
We believe lightweight, high-performance composite solutions will play a pivotal role in enabling more sustainable industrial systems — and this innovation represents an important step in that direction.

in.mat-Lab is proud to announce that European Commission/Joint Research Centre invited our founder Dr. Antonia Ekonomakou to participate in the workshop: “Advancing Construction Materials – Advanced and innovative materials as enablers of sustainability, circularity, resilience, and competitiveness in the EU construction sector”.

The workshop presented the findings of the ongoing study on advanced and innovative materials in the construction sector. The study looks at how advanced materials can address key challenges for construction - from sustainability and resource efficiency to resilience and competitiveness. The discussion was focused on systemic enablers for innovation, including testing and demonstration infrastructures, regulatory frameworks, and skills development. The event brought together colleagues across the Commission, alongside external experts from research and industry, to exchange perspectives and provide input to the finalization of the report.

The workshop took place on 16th October 2025 at the European Commission premises in Brussels.

ReGlass2Con project has already been initiated and some first results are quite encouraging. The main target is to develop innovative, sustainable, and lightweight geopolymer-based building materials, primarily from recycled glass waste, which will serve as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional construction materials.

in.mat-Lab will play a pivotal role in the development of lightweight geopolymer-based materials by conducting expandability studies, optimizing material properties, and supporting the scaling-up process from laboratory to pilot scale.

ReGlass2Con is funded by Eurostars 3 – Call 7. Eurostars is part of the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs. The partnership is co-funded by the European Union through Horizon Europe.
