Who We Are

Our company was founded in 1947 thanks to Alexandros Kikizas’ vision to create a food industry that would use solely Greek raw materials, in order to produce high quality products.

Today, six decades later, the third generation of Kikizas family leads one of the largest food companies in Greece, exporting products to more than 25 countries.

The main body of the company’s activities is the production of pasta and semolina. We absorb at an annual basis 130.000 tons of excellent quality local wheat. The vertically-organized mill and spaghetti factory complex in Larissa produces every year more than 50.000 tons of pasta, which makes our industry the largest of its kind in the Balkans.

Our presence in the European market is reinforced by the founding of the affiliated company Atlanta S.A., through which we export various Greek products to the Polish market, such as pasta, olive oil, olives, halvah and wines.

Our company’s basic pasta brands are: Melissa and Stella, the selected pasta line Primo Gusto, Thessaly’s brand Deveta, the historical Avez and the traditional products Vlaha.

Primo Gusto tomato products and Kazino traditional pastries complete our presence in the Greek food market.

Our main development axis is the organized sales and distribution network of our products. The world-class brand of canned fruit Del Monte and Tchibo-Davidoff, leader in the European market of coffee, for many years now trust us to be their exclusive distributors in Greece.
