Full Description

This Greek company was established in 1996 with the objective to create and offer a complete line of authentic Greek speciality food products to the sophisticated international consumer who seeks high quality, originality, innovation, value and exquisite flavours. Its wide product range (including table olives, extra virgin olive oil, antipasti and appetizers, tapenades and spreads, feta cheese, honey, vinegar) is both intended for retail sale as well as the food service sector such as catering. Apart from its standard products, it also offers an organic line of food products as well as a vegan line.

The company has won numerous national and internationally-recognised awards, both for its products and for the company itself.

Today, it is among the leading Greek export-oriented manufacturing companies, and its products can be found in some of the highest quality retail food stores and fine dining restaurants, all over the world. Its products are destined exclusively for foreign markets since 100% of its production is exported and sold in over 30 countries worldwide, including the USA, Canada, UK, France, Japan, South America, South Africa and others.

This ambitious company is constantly looking for the next opening on the international circuit, so it is looking for new foreign partners to import and distribute its products.

Advantages and Innovations

The company commits to advocating and upholding the values of the food safety culture to all the interested parties by promoting and supporting food safety behaviour and beliefs to ensure the high quality and legislative compliance of the products through:-
- experienced quality control and quality assurance teams
- cutting edge food safety and manufacturing technology
- food safety accreditations: British Retail Consortium (BRC), International Featured Standards (IFS), ISO 22000, Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)
- Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standards are required of its vendors/suppliers
- pesticide monitoring on incoming agricultural raw materials and final products.

The company embraces sustainability by working with hundreds of growers all over Greece, whose livelihood depends solely on their agricultural activities. Thus, it helps the local communities preserve their traditions, their culture and their way of life. The company supports all environmentally-friendly practices, whether these are applied in farming through biodiversity, acreage density and preservation of natural resources, or in the manufacturing process through waste recycling, energy and water conservation, and the use of recyclable packaging.

The company’s experienced new product development team is constantly looking to develop new exciting product concepts based on the Mediterranean diet. Thus, it aims at presenting at least one new product idea each year. The company also focuses on exploring new packaging options for its products, based on modern packaging technology and market trends. It is keen on constantly differentiating itself from its competitors and on adding a personal touch, so it specializes in creating tailor-made recipes to suit the specific needs of its customers.

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner

The company’s sales strategy is based on building strong business relationships and strategic alliances with reliable partners internationally, that import and distribute its products to their markets. It has the experience, knowledge and determination to support foreign partners effectively, in order to build a long mutually beneficial cooperation. Therefore the Greek client is interested in establishing long-term co-operation agreements with distributors and wholesalers that specialise in the retail sale sector for delicatessen food products. But it is also looking for partnerships in the food service sector such as catering.
