General information
- Short Summary
- A Greek producer of healthy snacks is looking for importers, wholesalers and distributors.
- Full Description
-
This medium-sized company from Greece was founded in 1965. It was one of the first large-scale producers of sesame bars in the country. With more than half a century of strong presence, it is now the market leader in Greek traditional confectionery, making products that are enjoyed by customers around the world.
Its signature product, the sesame bar, (or pasteli as it is known in Greece), is a traditional Greek confection with documented origins in antiquity. Homer and Herodotus spoke of the snack in the Iliad and other texts dating back to the 8th and 5th centuries before Christ. Throughout the ages, this nutritious bar continues to be not only a sweet snack, but also a natural source of energy, due to the high-nutritional value of its two key ingredients: sesame and honey.
Since its establishment almost 6 decades ago, the company has expanded its product range to meet consumers’ changing tastes and lifestyles. It offers a wide range of Sesame bars, Nut bars, Soft nougats, Greek delights and Coconut sticks. With its clientele growing internationally, the company has adjusted to the international market dynamics and created certified organic and vegan versions as well.
Its products are available in a variety of packaging and they are ideal for snacking on the go. They are an excellent choice for retail outlets of all sizes, as well as hotels, coffee shops, vending machines, delicatessen shops, schools, and airports.
The company is continuously searching for new opportunities, so it is interested in concluding commercial agreements with new partners abroad, such as importers, wholesalers and distributors. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Its new generation of snacks (gluten-free and high-fibre soft nut bars with honey and high-protein nut bars with 0% sugar added) have already won the healthy diet awards for sweet and vegan products and were the best snack at the ISM Middle East exhibition.
The high-protein nut bars were created by removing sugar completely (and without using added sweeteners) and replacing it with fibre, in the form of extract of chicory root. This well-known prebiotic provides superior benefits, based on numerous reports from reliable scientists. The bars are really rich in protein and fibre, containing over 20% of each. Salt content is very low and no preservatives have been added to any of the products. They are made without palm oil, they are lactose and dairy free, non-genetically-modified, and they are also suitable for vegans.
The crispy cereals used in the high-fibre soft nut bars are made from rice flour and were specially selected so that they do not contain gluten. Honey is used as a natural sweetener, as well as being rich in vitamin B6, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and certain amino acids. This natural sweetener is an antioxidant and is free of fat and cholesterol. Nuts, on the other hand, provide our body with energy and the necessary nutrients, such as unsaturated fatty acids (Omega 3 and Omega 6), vegetable proteins, antioxidants, vitamin B, and essential trace minerals. These bars are therefore an excellent snacking choice and the perfect energy booster for any time of the day. They are non-genetically-modified products and they are also made without preservatives or palm oil. - Stage of Development
