A. Pitenis Bros SA is one of the largest production companies in the Greek Food Industry. The company was founded in 1973, as a delicatessen appetizer industry. For two years the company was researching on various production methods until it achieved the production of six new appetizers. The rapid growth of product demand, caused the sequential transfer of the company into larger facilities, reinvesting, at the same time, on new machinery and production techniques.

By December 1997, the company completes the construction of a new modern appetizer production plant, with the acquisition of 14000 m2 land area and building facilities of 3000 m2 in order to efficiently handle the demanding conditions of domestic and international competition. The long-term confidence that consumers have shown on the company's products, as well as its family business-dexterity characteristics, lead to the production of more than 70 different kinds of appetizers by the year 2002. Since day one, company's business ethic remains the high quality standard of all its products. The company's plant facilities prove the method with which it achieves its high quality standard:

• Stainless steel structure - Plasticized flat surface panels - Industrial floors with epoxy synthetic resin - Sanitary corners.
