The company was founded in 1980 and the initial capital was
200.000 drachmas. After continuous increases of the capital
the company converted into a limited liability company with
capital that in 2001 came up to 6.000.000 euro.The presence
of the company in the market is very successful; it is regarded
as one of the most important business in the west Greece and
one of the biggest in the prefecture of Elia concerning employment
and exports.
The management is fluctuating in very high levels, as a result
the increasing pace of the economical sizes became unusually
high for a Greek company.
The company has created and applied internal quality control
system (according to the prototype ISO 9002). It is also entitled
with certificates for the production of ecological products
In this way we succeeded a production with stable quality
and according to the prototypes. The products cover the demands
of markets with high quality standards (Switzerland, Austria,
Germany, France, Ireland, USA, Canada, etc)

The tendency of the increasing turnover is very high and proves
the company’s successful policy in the market. The increasing
tendency of exports is higher than the one of the sales. Between
the time period 1988 to 2002 the sales increased 16 times
and the exports 32 times. The share of the exports in the
total volume of the sales in 1988 was 45% and in the 2002
was increased by 59%. The enormous increase of the exports
towards the countries of the west Europe proves the high quality
and aesthetic value of the final products as well as the conveyors
open business perception.
The growth in the sales is combined with a parallel increase
of the investments, which mostly are financed by the conveyors
with an increase of the company’s funds. The above production
index combined with the continuously profitable results and
the perfect liquidity provide the capability of an extra increase
of the turnover without having any specific problem of financing
this increase with floating capital of permanent character.
