DIAMONDS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY 2015

editorial

By Spyros Ktenas The forces to restart the economy

6 Diamonds

The long-running recession being persevered by the Greek economy has not devastated all, as is highlighted by the latest edition of “Diamonds of the Greek Economy”, presenting the country’s most robust enterprises, which, despite the crisis, have continued along their upward trajectories, spurred by export orientation and investment. For yet another year, Active Business Publishing is showcasing companies that have stood their ground as major producers and offer hope in the effort to kick-start the country’s troubled economy.

However, if this is to occur, the differences diving Greece and its lenders will first need to be resolved.

Ties between Greece and the country’s lenders are being tested. Both sides are responsible for the impasse. However, most crucially, Greece’s major national achievement of becoming a member of the single European currency must not be sacrificed, while the cliff-hanging situation generated by the prolonged bailout talks, which has stunned the economy and undermined any prospect of growth, needs to end.

The Greek business community supports the structural reforms needed in this land, especially the efforts being made to restructure the country’s social security system, create a modern and fair tax system, fight rampant tax evasion, utilize public-sector property, and improve productivity in the public sector, all of which would help overcome the current deadlock in negotiations for a new bailout deal. Only through the implementation of such reforms will overtaxation, extraordinary taxes and other counterproductive measures, which are hurting enterprises, employment, and, ultimately, the economy, be avoided.

Common sense says that the prosperity of Greeks, improvement of work conditions, and better pay packages require increases in production, international competitiveness, and the national economy’s degree of export orientation. In other words, reforms and increased investment are needed. In turn, investments are only possible amid a steady and predictable legal, political, and economic environment.

Without investments, unemployed citizens stand no chance of finding work, talented and frustrated young people will not stay in Greece, enterprises will not experience growth, and the state, constantly missing out on tax revenues, will find itself in a position of not being able to maintain the current level of salaries and pensions.

Achieving economic growth is virtually impossible when an increasing number of greater tax burdens are being proposed, the cost of capital is non-competitive, and access to capital markets is impossible. The crucial issue at this point is to avoid severing ties with the country’s creditor representatives, which would prompt Greece’s exit from the eurozone.

Empowering Greek Economy and Society

The Roadmap targets that, by 2021, Greece will have achieved 24 million international air arrivals and 19 billion euros of immediate Apostolos Vakakis revenue annually…

The importance of Greek tourism – as an industry that directly and indirectly employs one in six workers and contributes a fifth of the country’s GDP – cannot be more apparent. The 24.5 million visitors that Greece welcomed in 2014 (including cruise arrivals), translated into 13.4bn euros flowing into the real economy, a figure which drew international attention and contributed to the first tentative signs of economic recovery. It was the major contributor to Greece recording a primary budget surplus last year.

The next few years will be critical for the Greek tourism industry. SETE is working towards the implementation of a thorough plan that will improve the quality of tourism products and services, while also investing in education and training – both for those working in the industry and Greek society as a whole. It is our duty to continue to support the Greek economy and ensure a better future for generations to come, especially now that Greece is at a crucial crossroad.

The Greek Tourism Confederation, representing the entire tourism industry of Greece as a social partner recognized by the State, is there to voices and represent the hopes, concerns and daily efforts of the people working in this sector. It also regularly consults the State on a number of tourism issues and has built upon an excellent collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism.

Within its scope of business, we have already shared with the state a comprehensive development plan, the 2021 Strategic Roadmap for Greek Tourism. This defines the categories of tourism products and target markets, and the policies, investments

and infrastructure necessary in order to attract visitors. The Roadmap targets that, by 2021, Greece will have achieved 24 million international air arrivals and 19 billion euros of immediate revenue annually, with a resultant nine units added to the country’s GDP and the creation of 300.000 new jobs.

It is a fact that we have achieved the visitor target of our Roadmap ahead of schedule.

The tourism sector’s contribution to the country’s GDP today is in the range of 20%, according to official data.

At the same time, SETE has added two significant arms to its make-up: Marketing Greece, a body established to represent and promote tourism throughout Greece, and the Institute of SETE, which provides scientific and technical support in the promotion, training and quality of entrepreneurship in the tourism sector. They have both given a voice to local communities and industries and are helping to represent the country in a fresh and innovative way, with research and clearly defined goals.

We are certain that Greek tourism will continue to thrive this year as well, despite the current obstacles and the overall negative financial environment. 2015 is the year that the Greek Tourism Confederation is investing in the people of tourism: employees, owners of small businesses and merchants – who can only benefit by tourism performing well. This is the year to shine the light into Greece’s unknown corners, to work in partnership with the local communities, to safeguard our truly unique tourism product.

We are supporting the Greek Government in all possible ways and we will continue to contribute to the Greek economy with all of our strength.

We were pleasantly surprised to see that the structure of the new government includes the new Ministry of Productive Reconstruction, a decision that is of particular importance and meaning to the people in the industrial sector. In its public interventions, FING has repeatedly stressed the need for such a measure and we now see that it is being scheduled to take place.

Unfortunately, it is a well-known fact in Greece that many promises remain just that, promises, which are never really delivered. Let me remind you of the concepts of ‘modernization’ and ‘re-establishment of the State’. During their time, these concepts were symbolic; they prevailed in public discourse, were well-targeted and substantial in terms of content, and were absolutely necessary in order to secure the future of our country. We all know how that ended...

In order to avoid making the same mistake, the government must work closely with enterprises, on the one hand in order to give substance to the concept of ‘productive reconstruction’, and on the other hand in order to be able to implement this project together.

Within this framework, FING proposes that we start this process by planning a specific industrial policy. This is what has been missing from the country for decades, and it is the basic element of productive reconstruction. Our proposal to the new government is that this ‘new industrial policy’ includes:1. horizontal and sectoral policies; 2. policies for enhancing the innovation capacity of manufacturing enterprises; 3. regulatory provisions and regulations to improve the operation of markets; 4. financial aid programmes, and 5. policies for enhancing internationalization and extroversion.

On the other hand, we propose that - in parallel with the planning of the new industrial policy, and indeed at an intensive pace - the new government work on solving important problems faced by the industrial sector, which hinder the jump-starting of the real economy. Based on a recent survey, FING members have assessed these problems and have put together their own “Top Ten Priorities»:1. The current tax regime; 2. The complete lack of liquidity in the market; 3. The inability to offset debts owed to the State against debts owed by the State; 4. High energy costs, which lead to high production costs; 5. High financial costs; 6. The lack of substantial market surveillance; 7. The bureaucracy behind NSRF programmes, which has a deterrent effect on the implementation of investments; 8. The relations between the industrial and retail sectors; 9. The lack of a statutory procedure for out-of-court settlement of non-performing loans, and 10. Incomplete transport and other infrastructures, which directly impact the smooth operation of enterprises.

These are ten significant issues that essentially delay the much-desired growth of the regions, hold back the implementation of investments and creation of new jobs, and, in the end, pose a direct threat to the social cohesion of the Greek regions.

Such a reversal will eventually prove what FING has been claiming for many years: “It is impossible to achieve long-term growth without a production base”.

The Greek economy is enduring the most severe recession in its post-war history. Having lost over a quarter of its GDP the last 6 years, the situation of the economy does not yet corroborate the image of a country that rises like a phoenix from the ashes. We live through extremely difficult times. We have undergone the biggest fiscal adjustment in history. Liquidity is at minimum.

This coupled with the fact that our country’s image becomes negative again in international markets, makes hard for Greek exporters and importers to persuade their international partners to do business with.

We support our Government through the whole negotiation effort. However we believe that the procedures should be accelerated to reach an agreement, in order to ensure a stable political and economic environment and to consolidate security and trust, which are further essential for business sustainability and export growth.

In this difficult environment what can Greek exporters do, in order to survive?

In global economy, you must find your strengths. Our country has a lot of opportunities. To my opinion the biggest strengths of our area are the following: Geographical position and the hinterland Excellent, educated and trained workforce (scientists and engineers) Food and beverage industry Global trade today takes place between Far East and the Western World. The production of raw materials and industrial and consumer goods is made in East and consumption in Europe and the US. Global trade from East to Europe passes through Greece. This is the big opportunity of our region. Especially Thessaloniki is well situated for becoming a hub and a transit center. Hub does not mean just the

“moving of boxes”. It also means “value added services” like assembling and production of final goods from raw or intermediate materials. Raw/intermediate materials are currently manufactured in huge plants in Eastern countries, like China, India and the rest countries of the Far and Middle East, where low labor costs and economies of scale are possible.

Final products however can be made locally, since by assembling locally you combine local with imported raw/ intermediate materials and SAVE IN LOGISTICS. Greece does not have only the geographical position, but also the human skills to develop such an infrastructure. Since a weapon can target in many directions, such an infrastructure can be used by manufacturers in Europe to export their goods to East and Africa that recently develop fast.

For this to happen, it is vital to develop our infrastructure with no.1 priority the port of Thessaloniki.

The big number of highly skilled Greek scientists and engineers should stay here.

We currently export high-technology, but we have the potential for more. Foreign companies should consider to develop their R&D branches here, while our Government should provide more incentives to our young and skilled workforce to stay and flourish within the Greek borders.

The food and beverage industry constitutes a fundamental pillar of the Greek economy, since 1/5 of the enterprises are activated within the sector. Our country offers unique products which combine quality, taste and nutritional values. This is our comparative advantage and there is a certain potential to exploit it further, creating added value through exporting more standardized and certified goods, instead of bulk.

The question as to why the government continues to not exactly understand what is going on with the country’s liquidity problem, or what we mean when we say that the market has run dry and brought all activity to a halt, truly needs to be asked. We could perhaps imagine that the market liquidity issue will continue to not rank among the government’s top priorities for as long as a bailout agreement is not reached and the next steps concerning national debt management are taken.

Even so, could this government possibly also be indifferent to the fate of 700,000 workers employed in what is still known as process manufacturing in Greece? During the first quarter of 2015, the market was deprived of over two billion euros of overall turnover. At present, manufacturing firms, from small-scale operations run by two persons to industrial enterprises employing 50 workers, require a total of approximately five billion euros to purchase raw materials and activate production.

Banks are currently unable to cover these liquidity needs and making do by providing no more than guarantees. However, foreign suppliers of raw materials are not accepting these guarantees, and domestic production, alone, cannot meet the economy’s raw material requirements.

Suppliers abroad are responding to appeals being made by Greek clients for orders by noting that the instability of the Greek economy and major pending issues with lenders is sustaining the overall uncertainty and, consequently, forbidding transactions, even if backed by bank guarantees.

And while the noose around the neck of enterprises continues to tighten by the day, the Finance Ministry has issued an order for a freeze all payments for amounts owed to companies, be they VAT returns or debt generated by supplies to public-sector companies. This measure, alone, has wiped out roughly seven billion euros of trading activity from the market. The ministerial

order concerns a freeze on state debt payments that had fallen from ten billion euros in 2012 and 2013 to roughly five billion euros in 2014, but which have now risen to seven billion euros.

As things stand, the market is being stifled as a result of the lack of liquidity, needed for imports and which the banking sector cannot provide. And how could it, when four billion euros worth of deposits were withdrawn from Greek banks in April, lowering the level of bank deposits to nearly 140 billion euros when the total amount of loans extended stands at 220 billion euros.

Miracles cannot occur in the economy if pockets are not dug into. But expecting miracles to happen is a hopeless thought when you are called upon to contribute to the state’s needs, for its own debt issues, by paying ordinary and extraordinary taxes totaling 60 billion euros over the past five years.

The lack of liquidity has also had a direct effect on the exporting ability of local production.

Let us recall that back in 1981 Greece’s exports were worth 580 dollars per capita, compared to 340 dollars in Ireland and 216 dollars in Portugal. In 2011, Greece’s exports per capita were worth 1,900 dollars, compared to 34,000 dollars in Ireland and 12,600 dollars in Portugal.

Ireland and Portugal both managed to step out of their bailout schemes in two years and are now growing at respective rates of two percent and four percent. Both countries are also now borrowing at zero interest rates.

I resorted to using these two countries as an example to convince that it is possible to kick-start the Greek economy by revving up the export machine.

The country’s industrial sector promises to once again stand at the economy’s forefront, as long as it operates under the same rules of competition in the European Union and eurozone.

The past 5 years have been very difficult for the economy of Greece, the citizens and the business sector in general, resulting in uncertainty and insecurity within the market. The crisis has affected all sectors of the industry, including the Food Industry.

Despite the overall negative environment, the Greek Food Industry, continues to be a dynamic, competitive and extrovert sector, playing a significant role in the economy of our country. It makes continuous efforts and undertakes all necessary measures and initiatives to face the crisis.

Now more than ever, our sector has the ability to present high development rates taking advantage of the modern and high quality agricultural production, of the specialized know-how and the reasonable cost in Greece, and to further increase exports. This can apply particularly to our fast-growing food categories like Olive Oil, Fruits & Vegetables, Dairy Products, Traditional Greek Spirits, Bakery products as well as others such as honey, olives etc.

It is worth mentioning that Greece ranks as the world’s third largest olive oil producer, whilst our country is the world’s biggest exporter of canned peaches.

Thus, we all realize that potential exists. In the Greek Food Industry we have a common goal, to find the way out of the crisis and back to growth. This would require the implementation of a new develop-

ment model, based on: the improvement of competitiveness, the reinforcement of extroversion, the promotion of research & innovation and the attraction of new investments.

More specifically, as far as extroversion is concerned, we believe that it is a crucial factor for the growth of the Greek industry.

The businesses of the food sector have always been export oriented. The exports of the sector reach 3,5 billion euros representing 22% of the total Greek exports (excluding petroleum products), showing a continuous increase, even during crisis.

Innovation, quality and consistency are the key elements to success along with driving new directions in foods that will support greek agricultural production and greek nutrition as a competitive advantage.

Therefore, it is essential to be competitive and promote the extroverted and productive image of Greece. A serious industrial policy for the food industry will be the starting point for our country to find its way out of the recession that it has been facing in the past years.

At the Greek Food Industry, we are confident that we will overcome the obstacles and return back to growth. Working hard, with determination and passion, we will continue to satisfy our consumers –in Greece and abroad- offering safe products of high quality.

Aquaculture throughout 2014, maintained the first position in livestock products.

Nearly 115,000 tons have been produced, of which 85% approximately have been exported, mainly in the EU and in North America. The importance of aquaculture has been repeatedly proven, as an industry with significant economic contribution to the country’s GDP and the social cohesion of the coastal areas.

The year 2015 can be characterized as the year of “restart” of the Greek aquaculture.

The industry endured, despite the difficulties of the past three years and the intense competition, and not only managed to survive the economic crisis, but also made significant progress to address the main challenges and enhance competitiveness.

The main challenge that had to be tackled was to maintain viability. For this reason in 2014 significant changes occurred as larger companies in the sector were reorganized.

This is an ongoing process which will be completed in 2016. The aim is to create competitive schemes that will lead the industry in the near future.

Already 2014 ended revealing a better status. Corporate earnings were increased and there is lower pressure in the markets for 2015, while the main concern is to maintain this stability during 2016 too.

In addition to achieving stability in the industry, strong emphasis is given on strengthening the competitiveness based on two strategic priorities, the creation of a producers’ organization and the design of a national research and innovation program for the industry. Specifically: Producers’ organization is a key tool aiming the design and implementation of promotional activities for the development of new markets that will both absorb the increased production, and will on the other hand, maintain our leading position in the traditional markets of Europe and North America.

We will focus on enhancing the quality and identity of the Greek products through the creation of a quality mark which is going to differentiate them from competing products.

The other strategic priority is research and technology (R & D) for the fish, as it is clear that there can be no development without research. For this reason, a comprehensive research program was designed with main objective to reduce production costs on existing types of production, mainly in sea bream and sea bass in order to compete cheaper imported fish products. Secondary this aims to improving the production process into new genres where we have less experience. It is worth noting that this is the first time since the launching of the industry that a comprehensive R & D program is designed as far as research is concerned.

Every effort up to now derived from individual private initiatives, without leading to any significant technological improvement in the production process. It is worth noting that this program is a collaboration of industry companies, Greek research institutes and relevant national agencies.

Additional important steps were taken to simplify the institutional framework and to make it a more favorable and attractive operating environment for aquaculturists.

In particular, a law was adopted to simplify and accelerate the business licensing process. The law introduced for the first time a one-stop service and other important provisions such as the establishment of a National Aquaculture Council. At the same time there is progress in five projects regarding the establishment of Aquaculture Regulated Areas Development and we hope that the relevant departments will assist their immediate completion. The land is the principal institutional tool for the further development of the industry.

Concluding I would like to stress that we are at the beginning of the new Programming Period and it is very important to establish the right bases for a better preparation and more effective implementation of the funding that is entitled to Greece from the European Fisheries Fund. This funding is almost double in relation to the previous one and the industry cannot afford to miss this opportunity at this particular time.

Greece is currently at a turning point, for better or worse. The ongoing negotiations with the creditors of Greece are time consuming and the outcome so far is market inactivity. In this difficult context the Greek Plastics Industry tries to survive. We are very well aware of the difficult situation of Greece and if you combine that with the problems of our industry at a European level (volatility of the resin prices, high feedstock costs, high energy prices and high regulatory burdens) then you have a snapshot of the suffocating situation that the Greek companies trying to overcome. Despite the uncertainties and challenges facing by the plastics industry in Greece, it should be remembered that we are continue to make an important contribution to the economy and our modern lifestyles from cost effective packaging that preserves and protects goods to weight saving and safety components in cars. There are many aspects of modern living that would just not be possible without plastics and they will continue to be an important part of the economy. Manufacturing industries are sometimes depicted as an obstacle.

However, in reality, sectors like the plastics industry are an important part of the solution for both Greek and European economy and for society at large. Unemployment and productivity are key challenges for Greece today. Unemployment continues to be an everyday reality for almost 26% of Greece’s workforce. The extreme high unemployment rate of the younger generation in our country and the risk of a lost generation are a major challenge to overcome. The plastics industry is uniquely positioned providing jobs all over Greece and Europe and are essential to the supply chains of a wide range of strategic areas of the economy, including healthcare, energy generation, aerospace, automotive, maritime, construction, electronics and packaging. Indeed, the added value that plastics bring to other sectors in European level is one the most remarkable features of our industry.

In 2012, our industry in Europe accounted for: ● 62,000 companies ● 1.4 million jobs

● €26 billion annual contribution to public finances At the same time in Greece: ● 1500 companies ● 15 000 jobs ● €2 billion contribution to public finances Exports rose almost 34% at 2012 Strengthening the competitiveness of the Greek plastics industry can have a significant impact on the recovery of the manufacturing sector in general.

A study led in 2013 by leading Italian think tank The European House Ambrosetti reveals that: ● The plastics industry is one of the sectors that provides the greatest contribution to EU manufacturing ● A 10% increase in the value added to the European plastics sector could lead to a 4.4% increase in the value added to the overall EU manufacturing sector ● At a national level, taking the example of Italy: ● Every job created in the plastics sector leads to the creation of almost 3 additional jobs in the wider economy, ● A €100 GDP increase in the plastics supply chain generates a €238 GDP increase in the economy.

A favourable climate for investment in Greece is crucial for the plastics industry to continue to make a meaningful contribution to economy and society. One of the key challenges lies in creating the right conditions to make the most of our inherent capacity for innovation in Greece. This involves not only promoting science education and supporting entrepreneurship. It also means taking steps to help reduce the costs of production, such as energy and raw materials, even if we will not be able to compete on an entirely level playing field with other parts of the world. Greece needs now more than ever a strong plastics industry.

Greek exports of F&V hold their ground

For 2014 F&V exports amounted to 2,069 tons for a total of € 1,823 million

Greece’s geographical location at the most southern tip of Europe is the reason for a long tradition in the cultivation of F&V. The sector continuously adapts to an ever changing demand by supplementing the range with new varieties and new products. Total crop is estimated at 7.948 million tons (4,783 million tons of fruit & 3,165 million tons of vegetables) allowing for an increase in European retail market share every year but also opening new routes to South Asian, South American and African markets It is very encouraging to see an ever increasing number of young growers getting involved with new and alternative crops and also with new varieties which are in demand.

Addressing our customers I want to stress that Greek F&V are in line with current market expectations while many have superior characteristics due to being: Grown in an environment that is still clean under the Mediterranean sun. Quality and nutritional value are high. They are certified and checked for size, color, taste and freshness.

Our moto could be “Tasty, Safe, Healthy and Fresh” Between 2009 and 2014 fruit exports increased by 30,7% in value and 37,2% in volume.

An examination of the various segments which compose the overall export agro sector clearly shows the overwhelming significance of F&V (fresh and processed). The contribution in value of F&V to the sector’s 5 year average is 34%. For 2014 F&V exports amounted to 2,069 tons for a total of € 1,823 million.

For 2014 the Greek export agro sector consisted of the following segments (top 11):

It is worth noting that the 2014 trade surplus in F&V (€1.16 billion) more than compensated the largest trade deficit in the meat (& meat byproduct) sector (€1.03 billion). This fact shows the importance of F&V in the overall agricultural trade balance for Greece.

Besides excessive cost burdens of exported goods the main challenges of the sector are starting to be tackled under the new extrovert strategy of the administration. The main remaining challenges are: The implementation of tough controls to resolve intra community trade issues (taxation issues & circulation of non-standardized products) Resolving delays in signing bilateral phytosanitary agreements with 3rd countries for several products. E.g. There is a need to find new replacement markets in Asia, the Americas and the Middle East following the Russian embargo just like other EU countries have already done.

In any case the Greek administration is called upon to give absolute priority to exports.

Measures must be taken to eradicate all hindrances which burden a competitive export cost.

It is necessary to put an end to the continued practice of facilitating third country imports against the interest of European F&V producers. This must be implemented on a national as well as an EU level.

Finally, I believe it is necessary the European Commission take into consideration the negative repercussions for the F&V sector when getting into preferential agreements with third countries which have crops similar to the EU’s.

I hope that within 2015 the elimination of all disincentives will be achieved so as to greatly improve the competitiveness of our products so we can maintain and even improve our market share.

“We stand firm against the plans which will ruin domestic pharmaceutical production”

«...in the reconstructing of production in the country».

Apostolos Vakakis

Turnover 454.276.468

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 96.956.097

Domestic production of pharmaceuticals remains one of the key pillars in the development of the Greek economy. This is the case despite the suffocating environment which has been imposed by the country’s creditors during the recent years when the bailout conditions have been in force, and which they are attempting to keep in place in the future by demanding that the new Greek Government take extreme recessionary measures.

The Greek pharmaceutical industry has stood firm against plans which will ruin domestic pharmaceutical production. The industry has responded with an increasingly outward-looking and export-orientated approach, it has preserved all of the thousands of jobs it provides and it continues to make an important contribution to the country’s GDP. The major challenge is to ensure that this stance will become even stronger and will play an active part in the reconstructing of production in the country. The prerequisites for this are the creation of a stable entrepreneurial environment and the formation of a national pharmaceutical policy centered around citizens having unimpeded access to medicines, the provision of products with a high therapeutic value and at the same time achieving savings in expenditure on health-care by implementing restructuring measures.

The policy of reducing the price of medicines, which has been applied across the board in recent years, has failed miserably to control expenditure on pharmaceutical products. It has simply transferred the burden to companies and to the patients themselves, with patients’ contributions to the costs of their medicines skyrocketing.

The lenders’ insistence, even now, on introducing yet further reductions in prices is remarkable. As well as having very serious consequences for the survival of pharmaceutical enterprises, these reductions imply further limits on public pharmaceutical expenditure.

It is now commonly accepted that pharmaceutical expenditure which is limited to 2 billion Euro, a limit which has remained

“fixed” for the last two years, is not sufficient to meet the Greek people’s need for pharmaceutical care. On the one hand it is an undeniable sign of the health care inefficiencies affecting the population, and on the other it leads to distortions in the functioning of the market for medicines in the light of the unsustainable rebates and clawbacks.

As representatives of the domestic pharmaceuticals producers we are very well aware of the position the county finds itself in under the lenders’ sword of Damocles.

And thus it is imperative that the positive steps already taken by the Government and the leadership of the Ministry of Health are maintained. These steps include the ability to show trade names on prescriptions for medicines for chronic illnesses and generic drugs. On the subject of pharmaceutical spending, establishing vaccinations as an exception is a crucial first step. Firstly because it will give the system some “breathing space” and secondly because vaccination is a part of every country’s social disease prevention policies and can in no way be considered to be a “cost”.

Support for domestic pharmaceutical production is one of the Government’s stated aims and is something for which it is waging a hard fought battle with the country’s creditors. This support translates into increasing added value for production, new investments, the creation of new jobs and an increase in exports. It is indeed possible that within five years Greek pharmaceutical products could become the company’s top export and could reach even more than the 85 markets they have already penetrated.

As for VIANEX, our aim is, through strategic investment and agreements, to maintain our leading position in the Greek pharmaceutical industry. Concurrently, in order to strengthen VIANEX abroad, we are holding discussions with many multinational companies and we hope that these will soon lead to important new agreements, following in the footsteps of our exemplary cooperation with Eli-Lilly for the production and export of the injectable antibiotic vancomycin to the Chinese market.

THE HELLENIC CHINESE CHAMBER (HCC) is an institutional, non-governmental, non-profit, membership association for Greek corporations and individual entrepreneurs engaged in business affairs with People’s Republic of China, and Chinese corporations engaged in business affairs with Greece.

Short info about the Chamber ● Was set up in 1995 ● Operates under Presidential Decree (576/277-95) ● Is widely recognized and respected at the highest level of both Greek and Chinese governments Mission To actively and continuously support the development of business and economic relations between Greece and China so that in the longrun, China becomes in the worldwide scene one of Greece’s major business and economic partners.

Objectives ● To stimulate and support trade in goods and services, investment and technology transfer between Greece and China ● To promote the commercial and investment environment of Greece to the Chinese business community and opinion leaders ● To provide practical, professional and value added services to the Greek and Chinese corporations that will essentially support their efforts in developing business in China and Greece respectively ● To become the voice of the Greek business community to both Greek and Chinese governments through direct advocacy and well written and researched papers of both general and specific issues on Greek - Chinese matters Activities The Hellenic Chinese Chamber, in its continuous effort to play a central role in the development of business and economic relations between Greece and China, systematically takes initiatives and implements the following actions: ● Organize business and trade missions to China ● Host high-ranked Chinese governmental and business delegations in Greece and facilitate the development of the appropriate contacts ● Support and participate in important exhi-

bition fairs, business forums, conferences, workshops and seminars ● Support the publication of books, journals and newsletters China is one of the largest investors in Greece, and has poured money into the country at a time when other investors balked. Beijing wants Greece to be its gateway to Europe’s marketplaces. Over the last five years, China has been pouring money into the Eurozone’s most troubled economy at a time when most other investors have stayed away.

As a businessman, I can say that there are three ways to make money from China’s economic upswing. You can attract investment so as to secure capital, you can look for cheap suppliers or you can turn to the Chinese market itself.

The third option of course involves the greatest risk and thus also requires the most courage. But it will get you the highest returns.

More than 1,000 Greek companies have established trade ties with China, mostly in the form of imports from the vast Asian country.

But although the number of companies that have entered the Chinese market does not exceed 100, their performance is quite striking. These include S&B Industrial Minerals SA, jewelry and fashion brand Folli Follie, plastics company Plastika Kritis SA, FHL Kyriakidis Marbles and Granites, Coco-Mat mattresses, beauty product company Apivita, Kleeman elevators, Iktinos marble industry etc. Dozens more, including food and wine producers Tyras, Minerva, Ktima Lazaridis, Kriton Artos and Tsantalis, have also established their presence in the Chinese market. Their record so far is very positive.

As President at Vitex S.A. the biggest purely Greek coloring (chemical) industry and president of the Hellenic Chinese Chamber, I can say that opportunities are to be found in all sectors: marble, shipyards, mining and mineral processing, jewelry, winemaking, canning, beekeeping, food processing, the export of agricultural goods (particularly olive oil), tourism, education and energy management.

The opportunity is here and the relations between Greece and China are closer than ever. Chinese are our friends and collaborators through this difficult situation for our country and people.

Let’s make this collaboration and friendship to RISE UP!!!

The economy has taken a turn for the worse reversing a mild recovery that started last year. Growth is unlikely to recover anytime soon, prolonging the dependence of Greece on its creditors to help cover domestic obligations and debt.

As negotiations with our European partners are dragging on the country has lost its momentum and returned to recession, overwhelmed by increased capital flight and policy uncertainties.

The situation in the real economy is even worse as over the past few weeks Greece is covering its obligations and debts by using cash from reserve accounts and thus draining the market from any available liquidity.

Obligations to the private sector are piling up and trade is frozen by a lack of credit and demands by suppliers for payments in cash.

The prolonged negotiations and the perceived inability to reach an agreement with the institutions have shattered the fragile business confidence in the country. Foreign investors have pulled back and economic uncertainty has returned.

This is not a time for despair; it is a time for action.

We need to restore confidence in the country and its economic prospects quickly, and the single and most important step towards this direction is to strike a deal with the Institutions.

This is not enough for a robust recovery though, as we need to proceed with the

necessary structural reforms that will solve the underlying chronic problems of our economy and will allow Greece to regain its credibility and competitiveness and in turn attract foreign investment.

While the efforts to restore confidence in the political and economic environment are continuing, we need to revive the interest of the foreign investment community as the only available means for immediate financing of the real economy.

While the government will be exhausting itself to strike a better deal, we need to project the image of the other Greece that is reflected in the healthy and credible private sector.

In spite of the difficult situation and unfriendly economic environment there are still companies that are competitive, successful and surviving the crisis.

These companies we should advertise, as the best Greek business examples, in order to reverse the image of an inward looking and struggling economy and at the same time encourage local entrepreneurship and instill hope for the future.

The Diamonds of the Greek Economy are achieving both these goals, they acknowledge the efforts of the best and promote healthy and successful entrepreneurship, in and out of the country and for that, on behalf of the American Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, I would like to commend and congratulate you for this year’s edition.

It is a shared view that the Greek economy is prompted to change course in the next few years. What is initially requested is to implement the necessary reforms in order to become productive and competitive and then access the road to a new productive model. This is the only way for Greece to grow rapidly and to create new sources of wealth and secure jobs.

In other words there is no other way than entrepreneurship, extroversion and attracting investments.

The economy of our country has to obtain an extroverted identity as soon as possible, in order to be able to stand and gain a dynamic presence on international markets.

Only with work, change of mentalities and mainly deep cuts our economy will exploit the strong benefits available to it in several sectors so it can turn page and leave recession behind.

For this purpose we are all invited to launch a “revolution” of concepts, a reversal of mentalities, so that soon enough the changes to be promoted, will inoculate society and create a new framework of action away from the “wounds” of over-indebtedness and lack of competitiveness.

All these years the German-Hellenic Chamber has never stopped trying to support the extroversion of Greek business in multiple ways. It has been operating as a communication channel for Greek companies that are following a rather extrovert development strategy having Germany, the biggest market in Europe, as their target. Nevertheless Germany is one of the strongest trade partners for Greece. Only in 2014, Greek exports to Germany amounted to 1.7 bil-

lion Euros, registering an increase of 1.67%, but also securing about 7% of the country’s total exports.

In order to strengthen the presence of Greek entrepreneurship in Germany the Chamber has started within the last few years numerous programmes regarding cooperation and technology transfer in a multitude of sectors such as tourism, selfgovernment and the agri-food sector.

A total of 2.500 Greek businesses with 45.000 Greek visitors have participated over the last five years in exhibitions held in Germany and supported by the Chamber The 83 bilateral chambers operated in other countries but also the 120 offices held by Germany all over the world can be used through the Chamber as gateways for development for anyone who wants to gauge his strength abroad.

For the Chamber all outward-looking actions are deemed to be a duty to the country, the hard-working Greeks and everyone who just doesn’t sit back but struggles for the best as well as to the society itself which has been pushed to its limits in the last five years. We will continue on this path - especially now as Europe is turning a new page and is examining policies to support demand having decided to promote a looser and at the same time growth oriented policy with a quantitative easing programme.

The opportunity is big and the Chamber relying on its own forces will have to fight its own battle for the country to profit from the positive momentum, in order not to lose this chance which seems to be the last one.

Our daily tasks include the presentation of Italian companies looking forward to beginning operations in Greece, as well as support to Greek companies in their efforts to reach the Italian market.

In this context, the Greek-Italian Chamber of Commerce took a significant initiative concerning the preparation of the project “Exporting more Greece to 50 countries through 76 Italian Chambers of Commerce”.

The aim of the project is the creation of a joint team of actors which will plan, define and jointly implement actions to promote “Made in Greece”. The key partner to this effort is the Central Union of Bilateral Italian Chambers of Commerce (Assocamerestero), with a presence in 50 countries through 76 Chambers of Commerce. This cooperation provides us access to a network of partners specialized in the internationalization of enterprises, not only in Italy but also in most countries of the world. This particular project became very popular, very soon. The respective team consists of: the Panhellenic Exporters Association, the Hellenic Management Association, the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Eurobank, the Northern Greece Exporters Association and the Thessaloniki Greek-Italian Chamber of Commerce.

Our participation in significant European projects marks the beginning of 2015.

Having already successfully concluded the Erasmus For Young Entrepreneurs program, concerning the mobility of young entrepreneurs within the European Union, we are currently participating in the preparation of the Medneta project, in the context of the European-Mediterranean ENPI CBC program.

The Medneta research project, under the coordination of the National Technical University, focuses on supporting the creativity of traditional activities and aims in achieving cross-border dialog and cooperation between medium-sized arts and crafts enterprises and related entities. The main focus are professions and activities that could be a significant factor for the regeneration

of historic cities of the Mediterranean.

At the same time, last March, we signed a Special Cooperation Agreement, the implementation of which will commence during 2015, with the purpose of promoting the Region of Western Greece and its products abroad, as well as fostering the strategic development of the tourist product of the region. The Region of Western Greece and the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Aitoloakarnania, Achaia and Ilia participate in the said Agreement.

In particular, the Agreement provides for the implementation of the “Greek Philoxenia Certified Quality” Project, the strengthening of Greek - Italian bilateral relations and the effective promotion of Greek cuisine and entrepreneurship, the promotion and advertising of Greek biodiversity, countryside and products, as well as the promotion of parallel actions for the protection of the environment.

Greece, due to proximity, constitutes a prime field for any expansion of economic activities. According to recent data from the Bank of Greece, Italy is the ninth largest main investor in Greece, in terms of inventory level at the end of the reference year 2012.

The fact that major Italian energy companies are interested in investing in Greece is notable; starting from the Eni oil company, which is interested in investing in the natural gas market, the privatization of DEPA, as well as the hydrocarbons market, which - after years of inactivity - is opening in our country. However, the fact that the largest investments in our country in recent years are Italian is a fact that must be noted and stressed, in spite of not being particularly known. Typical examples are the Thessaloniki Metro, where the Italian companies ANSALDO STS, ANSALDO BREDA, SELI, SALINI IMPEGILO have invested more than € 1.5 billion, the company MEDNAUTILUS – TELECOM ITALIA, specialized in construction of Data Centers and delivery of Cloud Services to enterprises, the ELPEDISON power company, with plants in Thisvi and Thessaloniki, GENERALI Hellas, with 150 years of presence in Greece, PIERALISI, MAPEI Hellas and others. All these companies operate in Greece, create jobs as well as goodwill. It must also be noted that none of these companies withdrew from Greece during the hard economic crisis that hit our country.

France has been one of the strongest friends of modern Greece since its beginnings, as shown by the creation of the French Greek Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 130 years ago this year. It was the first bilateral Chamber of Commerce to be created in Greece, and it has never ceased to play a major role in the development of economic relations between the two countries since then.

The bonds of friendship between France and Greece have always been strong, in good or bad times, and the relation between both countries is deep, touching all areas: economic of course, but also cultural, intellectual, and between ordinary citizens.

France was one of the main advocates of Greece’s entry in the EU, and later in the Euro. French companies were big investors in the country’s development, especially in the fields of infrastructures, food industry, retail and finance.

During the terrible crisis that Greece has endured since 2008, France has supported the Greek government, with help in the negotiations with its international partners, as well as support and advice to help it reform and modernize the Greek economy and institutions. As important, most French companies have maintained their presence and investments. There are today 120 French companies in Greece, employing about 15.000 persons, to which we should add many more who have an indirect presence, through agents and franchises.

Greece has many opportunities to offer to

French entrepreneurs. Tourism is obviously the first one that comes to mind, and in this area the potential is huge. Greece offers a combination of natural beauty, great climate, fascinating history and great geographical position that is truly unique. With the right infrastructure investments, the long-term potential is huge.

There are other opportunities, though, for potential investors. A well-qualified, multilingual and extroverted workforce, coupled again with a perfect position between East and West, should make Greece a natural regional services hub. Infrastructures, transport, energy, pharmacy, food, pisciculture are all areas where French companies have shown interest, despite the crisis, and the uncertainty that goes with it.

The measure in which this interest will translate into investments, and jobs, will depend a lot of what will happen in the next months. To prosper, companies need a stable legal, fiscal and political environment, in which they are able to plan for the long-term. Greece has suffered too much, and still does, from unpredictable political evolutions, hard-to-understand, and to anticipate, tax policies, and unfriendly investment decisions.

It is my biggest hope that policymakers will learn the lessons of mistakes past, and address these structural weaknesses, thus allowing dynamic and ambitious Greek companies (of which there are many!) to play their role in the development of the Greek economy.

I am pleased to convey a message to the prestigious “Diamonds of the Greek Economy,” conference, a gathering of the most prestigious and active companies in Greece from the fields of industry, trade, shipping and tourism as well as government officials and business and trade organizations. Statbank and Active Greece Publishing House should be commended for this initiative aimed at presenting the business success stories in Greece, especially during a time of economic crisis.

In recent years, common interests have led Israel and Greece to develop a unique partnership in the East Mediterranean region.

Our relations are characterized by wide ranging cooperation in politics, economy, defense, energy, academia and science, culture and tourism.

In 2014, 400,000 Israeli tourists visited Greece. Many did so on direct charter flights and cruises to the islands as well as to Athens and Thessaloniki, a city with a special historic significance to the Jews both in Israel and worldwide.

Innovation and entrepreneurship are two particularly exciting new fields of cooperation between our two countries which we are very interested in expanding.

Israel has one of the most developed startup and innovation ecosystems in the world.

Innovation has been the driving force of Israel’s economic development during the last three decades. There are more than 5,000 startups operating in the country today. In thirty years, high tech exports increased by 3,700%, from 1 billion to 29 billion dollars.

Meanwhile, investment in R&D increased by 223%, from 1.3% to 4.2% of the GDP, which makes Israel the world leader in R&D. Israel has a higher percentage per capita of international investment in Israeli VCs than the U.S. Today, 50% of Israel’s exports are in high tech. Israel has the 3rd largest number of companies trading on the Nasdaq after the US and Canada. Over 250 multinationals, including international powerhouses like Microsoft, Samsung, Google, Apple, Facebook, Deutsche Telecom, Intel, and many others have R&D centers in Israel. For some multinationals their R&D centers in Israel are

their only ones.

Israel is a start-up nation with a thriving ecosystem that includes many VCs, angels, incubators and accelerators. In the first quarter of 2015 there were over 1.5 billion dollars of FDI in startups and VCs. 2014 saw a huge inflow of capital amounting to almost 7.3 billion dollars. Last year was also the peak of M+A of Israeli startups into global companies such as google, facebook, and many others. It was the year where Israeli companies registered the biggest number of entries into the Nasdaq.

We would very much like to share this knowhow with Greece. We have discovered a vast array of talent in the country as a blossoming startup ecosystem is starting to emerge.

The Israeli Embassy is developing a multifaceted program to create close synergies between the startup eco-systems of our two countries. Among other things, the program includes several visits of various Israeli entrepreneurship experts and mentors, a long-term mentorship program, the Start Tel Aviv 2015 competition for young Greek start-uppers, etc.

We wish to see the expansion of our economic cooperation in other fields as well including energy, agriculture, water management, medical technology, pharmaceuticals, cyber and homeland security and many other sectors where our two business communities can share ideas and develop new products together.

I salute the initiative of the “Diamonds of the Greek Economy” Conference, and wish you every success in the proceedings.

We at the Embassy of Israel would be very happy to cooperate and assist in any economic venture that would promote bilateral trade as well as any other type of economic cooperation.

We encourage you to surf on the Embassy’s website and facebook to get a glimpse of innovation news from Israel and to follow impressive our activities in Greece and worldwide.

We invite everyone to approach the embassy for any information you may need or any ideas you for cooperation you may have.

With my sincere appreciation.

The future energy

clean affordable safe

Natural Gas Natural gas is one of the world’s most versatile energy sources.

Every day, more and more uses are found for this precious fuel, which help drive the economy and spur development. ◆ Natural gas allows greater energy efficiency compared to other fuels on all production segments,

primarily for power generation using combined cycle technology ◆ Natural gas is more environmentally friendly since, per unit of energy produced, it is less damaging

to the environment by 38% compared to coal, by 28% compared to crude oil and by 24% compared to diesel oil. Those percentages are in reality increased taken into account the greater efficiency rate of gas against the above fuels under comparison ◆ Natural gas provides greater flexibility as a fuel and is easy to use and handle in all domestic, commercial or industrial applications.

The combination of all those characteristics establishes natural gas as: ◆ First class fuel for power generation to the extent of creating a close interrelationship between

the electricity and gas markets ◆ Indispensable back-up fuel -and not only - for the rapid and solid development

of renewable energy sources (RES) ◆ Essential element for the development of important new gas applications, such as another fuel

in automotive industry or as element for future innovative commercial applications for the production of new energy forms like hydrogen or liquid fuels ◆ Basic tool for the promotion of the European target of «20-20-20» and the European energy policies in general Natural gas is the fuel of choice in the framework of the European energy policy and is considered as the fuel of the 21st century and at the same time the bridge - given the right time horizon - between fossil fuels and renewable energy forms.

The implementation of the big energy project to introduce natural gas in the Greek energy balance was set in motion with the creation of the Public Gas Corporation (DEPA), as the vehicle for putting in place the necessary infrastructure and establishing all the other components pertaining to a fledging natural gas industry.

DEPA DEPA was created to drive Greece’s modernization forward.

Natural gas had become the key to the nation’s economic transformation; a tool for increasing competitiveness, reducing harmful emissions and cutting down on the country’s petroleum and lignite dependence.

We have helped Greece achieve these goals and so much more. By securing and distributing a reliable gas supply via a diverse portfolio of long-term contracts, DEPA provided the fuel for economic transformation.

In 1992, with sustained, large-scale investments in the national infrastructure and transmission network, DEPA distributed the fruits of this progress to Greek companies and power producers across the country.

Through highly successful ventures with private investors, and the rollout of gas supply companies (EPAs) in 2000-2001, DEPA brought clean natural gas to millions of consumers for the first time.

Through strategic, cross-border projects like IGI Poseidon and IGB, DEPA firmly established Greece as a stakeholder in the region’s shared energy future.

With every new project, we have exceeded the expectations of our customers and partners. With each passing year, we have strengthened our role as agents for national development. With every milestone achieved, we have proudly looked onward to the challenges and the opportunities to come.

The Greek Market The natural gas market in Greece is young, but growing rapidly, driven by excellent sector fundamentals and an expanding customer base across all segments.

Demand for natural gas in Greece has remained strong in the face of an unprecedented economic slowdown—as customers of all kinds choose cost effective, clean gas to power their daily lives.

DEPA has been instrumental in developing and managing Greece’s modern natural gas infrastructure, which every day brings energy to millions of Greeks from sources all over the world.

DEPA is the importer of pipeline natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Greece. Having provided gas to customers in Greece for more than fifteen years, its market experience enables the optimal coupling between international supply and domestic demand.

DEPA’s strategic goal is to ensure sufficient natural gas volumes from reliable and diversified resources at competitive prices.

Furthermore, DEPA is supplied with LNG from the global spot market, in order to ensure better prices for its clients, and sufficient supply in cases of increased demand. DEPA also closely monitors and evaluates global trends in the natural gas market —in line with the company’s long-term strategy to further diversify its sources and secure enough quantity at competitive prices— to meet the country’s current and future needs.

Confident in the Future DEPA is well-prepared and well-positioned to thrive in a dynamic market.

The energy market, in Greece and throughout the region, is changing rapidly.

DEPA sees this as an opportunity. An opportunity to leverage its human resources and physical assets to steer the course of a competitive market—towards greater technological advances, more intelligent infrastructure, and more efficient solutions.

FISIKON Clean, affordable, safe: natural gas is helping more and more Greeks get to where they need to go.

Today, 20 million people worldwide rely on natural gas to power their vehicles. In Europe, an estimated 1.5 million people make use of this technology. And these numbers are growing every day. The EU has promoted the use of natural gas in vehicles as a means for countries to reduce dependence on imported oil and protect the environment.

DEPA is proud of the work they do to support this transition.

The use of natural gas as an automotive fuel makes as much environmental sense as it does financial sense.

FISIKON technology – namely the natural gas used as fuel for vehicles – is tried, advanced, safe and offers the same possibilities with the most widely spread choices.

As frontrunner in natural gas innovation and environmental protection, DEPA develops infrastructure and implements strategic co-operations aiming at expanding the use of this economical, safe and environmental friendly fuel on the Greek roads, while it is first to introduced Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations for public buses and trucks in Athens in 2000.

6 refueling stations are currently operated in various cities all over Greece.

Athens: ◆ EKO – 264, Kifisias Avenue, Kifisia ◆ EKO – 8th km of Athens-Lamia National Road, N. Philadelphia ◆ Fisikon refueling station in Anthousa, on the side road of Attiki Odos Thessaloniki: ◆ EKO – 128, Georgiki Scholi Avenue, Pylaia, and ◆ BP – 36, K. Karamanli Avenue, Nea Magnisia and Volos: ◆ BP – 202, Larisis Street One more refueling station is under construction in Larisa and one in Lamia while 6 more are under licensing phase in Athens.

There is a big variety of Natural Gas Vehicles in the Greek market:

FIAT

Skoda

Volkswagen

SEAT

OPEL

Mercedes-Benz

Audi

Sustainability Investing in a Better Future DEPA provides the power to strengthen local economies, while strengthening local communities.

DEPA is a company that puts social wellbeing on par with corporate interest. Through social programs and community-based outreach initiatives works to improve the lives of men, women and children throughout Greece. DEPA is proud to support the communities in which does business.

Environment Protecting the Environment From rugged mountains to the crystalline sea, DEPA’s workplace is Greece’s pristine natural environment. Its corporate policies prioritize the protection of country’s beauty, while contributing to the emergence of a sustainable, green gas industry.

As Greece’s leading provider of clean-burning natural gas, environmental protection is a fundamental part of company existence.

And as DEPA natural gas network continues to expand, we help more and more companies, factories and families reduce their dependence on less efficient and carbon intensive forms of energy.

DEPA makes cleaner energy a possibility for millions.

Green Innovation Natural gas is one of the key components towards achieving the goal of a low-carbon future. DEPA wants to contribute and reach this goal faster.

DEPA constantly seeking out new ways to harness the power of this incredible energy.

This forward thinking attitude has fueled innovation in the transport sector, for example, enabling a growing number of Greeks to power their cars, trucks and busses on natural gas.

Proactive Preservation Environmental friendliness isn’t just about the consumer.

At DEPA, we take a more proactive role, ensuring that their facilities, developments and administrative activities adhere to the strictest international standards for sustainable business.

And through the most stringent safety protocols in the industry, we take all necessary precautions to preserve Greece’s natural environment for generations to come.

As I am writing these few words on the 21st of June 2015, another critical week beginning tomorrow for Greece, the world for me is divided in two: There are those who believe in my country and will exceed their effort to drive it forward, and those who are either indifferent, or never believed in it.

But I remain an optimist. Because I think that in politics, business and life alike, progress may only be achieved if you reach resolution of “conflicts” among “competitive” perspectives.

I also remain proactive against all odds; we may never serve our country, any business or this business, unless we put our efforts in the present; because, naturally, progress resides in the future having its roots in the past.

B2B GAMING SERVICES, believes in a uniform European tax and legislative framework for the industry. I think this would prove extremely beneficial for Europe, all relevant parties and the citizens. Unfortunately, Europe is not there yet.

Likewise in Greece, “conflicts” have not been resolved as yet; online betting and gaming companies operate under a transitional framework since 2011.

I believe that there is more to be gained for Greece, the industry as a whole, as well as the national economy, if a definite resolution was produced in this respect.

As for the safety, security and protection of individuals and society, I am a firm believer of the fact that this is never fully achieved with over-legislation and surveillance; you also have to provide the means for self-protection to the citizens and the end users, being socially responsible.

True Corporate Social Responsibility for me, needs to start with education, information and support.

It is in our immediate plans to launch THE B2B GAMING SERVICES INSTITUTE FOR RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING & COMMERCIAL GAMING, availing first both to Greece and Europe, a unique industry resource for all parties.

Being a strong believer of team spirit, before all else, I consider teamwork as the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results, this applying equally to my country, the industry and the people I work with. If we all serve these values, I believe our future will take care of itself and it will be brighter than ever.

Silver & Baryte (S&B) mines and processes bentonite, perlite, bauxite, zeolite, wollastonite and produces continuous casting fluxes and a variety of specialty products for a wide range of industrial applications and markets, thus contributing to modern and sustainable lifestyles.

Bauxites Parnasse Mining Co. was founded in 1934 in Fokis, Greece. That very same year, Silver & Baryte Ores Mining Co. SA (S&B) was established on the Greek island of Milos by four co-founders, Euripides Mavrommatis, Elias Eliopoulos, George Eliopoulos and Athanasios Eliopoulos.

S&B internal organizational structure is divided into four geographic regions and four market segments. The geographic regions are North Europe, South Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, with responsibility for operations, sales, supply chain and support functions. The four global market departments – Metallurgy, Foundry, Construction and Specialties – are in charge of marketing, global accounts management, business growth and research & development.

Through its expansion to the developed world over the last 15 years, S&B evolved from an entirely Greece-focused company to a global group with assets and operations in 20 countries and a diverse community of people from 25 nationalities.

In November 2014, negotiations were concluded for one of the largest business deals in the history of Greek enterprises, with the signing of an agreement for the absorption of the Kyriakopoulos family business by the world’s leading mineral company, France’s Imerys. Upon completion of the deal, the Greek company will hold 4.5pc of the French giant and Mr. Ulysses Kyriakopoulos will be a member of its Board.

Imerys was founded by the Rothschild family in 1880, under the company name Imetal, and was initially involved in nickel mining and processing. Since then, a series of developments have taken place, leading the group to enjoy today an international presence in 50 countries and in more than 250 industrial regions.

March 28th, 2001 marked the onset of a new era for air transport in Greece, with the opening of the Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos”, which contributed to the transformation of the capital with one of the most modern, functional and safest airport in the world.

Athens International Airport S.A. (AIA) was established in 1996 as a Public-Private Partnership with a 30-year B.O.O.T. (Build - Own - Operate - Transfer) concession to build and operate the airport and has undertaken successfully a series of very important roles, i.e. manager of the airport, employer and responsible corporate citizen. AIA is a privately managed company, with the Greek State holding 55% of shares, while the private shareholders collectively hold 45%.

Thanks to its favourable geographical location at the cross-roads of three continents, state-of-the art infrastructure and top-notch service, the Athens International Airport has earned the trust of passengers, as well as numerous international distinctions and awards. Today, it constitutes one of the major gateways to South-Eastern Europe and forms a unique entrepreneurial entity of economic and social development in the Attica basin. Over 13,000 people are employed as part of the airport community which consists of more than 300 companies closely connected to the Airport Company while the Athens Airport City is one of the biggest employment engines in Greece, contributing to the national and local economy by 2.63% of the GDP, as per the Athens University of Economics and Business relevant study (2013).

During its 14 years of successful operations the airport served more than 200 million passengers through 2.5 million flights. AIA, however, is far more than just a gateway to South-Eastern Europe; aiming at continuous growth, AIA develops its extensive real estate assets, conducts large-scale commercial activities and exports the company’s pioneering know-how in the IT sector. Indeed, approximately 40% of the company’s turnover and a significant share of its profits come from nonaeronautical activities.

Internationally acknowledged as one of the best airports in the world, Athens International Airport offers a wide range of services and facilities, making each moment at the airport a pleasant experience for the travellers, their meeters and greeters and the airport’s visitors.

Athens International Airport maintains one of the best airport terminals in Europe, equipped with state-of-the-art systems, featuring user-friendly orientation and comfortable waiting areas. Furthermore, according to the surveys conducted at the airport, our passengers and visitors highly appreciate the airport’s ambience, the courtesy of staff, the fine and exquisite offers of over 120 quality shops, restaurants & cafés in its Airport Shopping Centre as well as the attractive and highly convenient Retail Park which is located within the Airport compound .

In 2014, Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air carried a combined 10.1 million passengers, operating a fleet of 50 aircraft. The airline recently announced the go-ahead for an order of seven new Airbus A320s, to be delivered in 2015 and 2016. The airline’s flight schedule for 2015 includes a network of 134 routes: 34 domestic and 100 international ones, in 42 countries, offering a total of 15 million seats, some two million more than in 2014.

Aegean is a member of the strongest global airline alliance, Star Alliance. The company was awarded for the fourth consecutive year and fifth time in the last six years, as the best regional airline in Europe for 2014, by Skytrax World Airline Awards.

Aegean Group in 2014 posted an increase in its consolidated results, having been positively affected by the expansion of its network and its synergies with Olympic Air. Consolidated earnings amounted to €912 million, an increase of 7pc compared to 2013. Passenger traffic in 2014 rose 14pc to 10.1 million, marking the best historic performance for a Greek airline. Net profits after tax rose to €80.2 million compared to €52.5 million in 2013. After tax profits include the positive effect on a non-recurring tax provision of €11.7 million.

The Group’s operating cash flow amounted to €112 million, resulting to a cash in hand and cash equivalents of €207 million as of 31.12.2014 (or €218 million, if investments in corporate bonds are taken into account), in spite of large advances paid for the purchase of new aircraft.

Aegean has successfully implemented a plan to renew its fleet with the delivery, since 2007, of new Airbus A-320s/321s replacing 15 Boeing 737-300s/400s. The new Airbus A320/321 aircraft helped the company’s network expansion to include new international routes. Since May 2011, Aegean operates a uniform fleet of jets of the Airbus A320 family.

An additional ten Bombardier Q400s and four Bombardier D100s, owned by subsidiary Olympic Air, have been added to Aegean’s fleet since October 2013. Overall, in 2014 the company’s fleet numbered 36 aircraft of the Airbus A320 family (A319, A320 and A321) and 14 Bombardier. As part of its ongoing growth, Aegean in 2014 finalized an order for seven new Airbus A320ceos. Notably, the average age of Aegean’s fleet in 2014 was 6 years.

Attica Tollway, locally known as Attiki Odos, is a pioneering project constructed on a concession basis and constitutes one of the biggest co-financed road projects in Europe. It belongs to the first generation of co-financed projects awarded in Greece during the ‘90s and essentially paved the way and laid the foundations for the execution of future successful concession contracts, in Greece and in other European countries.

Attica Tollway is a modern motorway extending along 65 km. It constitutes the ring road of the greater metropolitan area of Athens and the backbone of the road network of the whole Attica Prefecture. It is an urban motorway, with two separate directional carriageways, each consisting of 3 lanes and an emergency lane. The suburban railway of Athens has been constructed in the central reservation of the motorway. Attica Tollway constitutes a unique piece of infrastructure, even based on European standards, as it is essentially a closed toll motorway, within a metropolitan capital, where the problem of traffic congestion is acute.

Attica Tollway is part of the PATHE road axis (Patra - Athens - Thessaloniki - Evzoni) and connects the Athens - Lamia national toad with the Athens – Corinth national road, by-passing the centre of Athens. Being a closed motorway, it has controlled access points and consists of two sections, which are perpendicular to one another: the Elefsina - Stavros - Spata A/P motorway (ESSM), extending along approximately 52 km, and the Imittos Western Peripheral Motorway (IWPM), extending along approximately 13 km.

There are several significant benefits resulting from Attica Tollway. Indicatively, the motorway forms the main backbone that links all the modes of transportation and infrastructures in the Attica region: i.e. road, air, rail and sea. It significantly improves traffic conditions within the capital, by absorbing a significant portion of the daily traffic moving across the Attica basin. The project contributes to urban development and completion of physical planning in the Attica prefecture.

It promotes the strategic restructuring of the energy and telecommunication networks, while also contributing to the residential and business development of the remote areas of Attica.

“Attikes Diadromes S.A.” was founded in 1999 and has undertaken the operation and maintenance of Attica Tollway.

In 2014, total turnover fell to 159.7 million euros from 162.4 million euros in 2103. Pretax profit also slid, falling by 21.29 percent, to 54.1 million euros in 2014 from 68.7 million euros in 2013.

EYDAP is the largest company of its kind in Greece and serves approximately 4,300,000 customers (2,030,000 water meters) while the length of its water pipelines is 9,500 km. The sewerage sector serves 3,500,000 residents with sewers spreading at almost 6,000 km.

EYDAP was founded in 1980 after the merge of the incumbent water supplier in Athens and Piraeus “Hellenic Water Company” (EEY S.A.) and the “Greater Athens Sewerage Organization” (OAP S.A.).

In 1999, EYDAP took its present legal form, as all of its major assets - dams, reservoirs, water towers, pumping stations and all other facilities that allow water to be transferred safely to treatment plants - were transferred to the company “EYDAP Assets”, thus remaining the property of the Greek State.

In January 2000, EYDAP SA was listed on the main market of the Athens Stock Exchange.

The company’s operations entail providing water supply and sewerage services; designing, constructing, installing, operating, managing, maintaining, expanding and upgrading water supply and sewerage systems; pumping, desalinating, processing, transferring, storing, and distributing all kinds of water as a means of serving EYDAP’s object; and managing and disposing wastewater treatment products.

EYDAP’s area of service is the greater metropolitan area of Athens. However, EYDAP has the right to provide a full range of services in areas beyond its responsibility via subsidiaries and through programming contracts with local authorities.

EYDAP has launched an ambitious program of renewable energy utilization. The objective is to contribute to the optimization of the energy balance of the country and society and explore the possibility of expanding to new profitable business.

EYDAP’s energy sector involvement concerns projects dealing with hydropower; cogeneration of heat and power, using biogas and natural gas; solar energy projects; as well as energy reduction initiatives.

In 2014, EYDAP posted reduced total turnover and profit figures, but they remained at relatively high levels. Total turnover slipped to 336.15 million euros in 2014 from 353.34 million euros. Similarly, pretax profit fell to 61.27 million euros in 2014 from 68.1 million euros a year earlier.

Andreas Karelias

Turnover 547.827.000

The firm’s roots date back to 1888 when the Karelia family’s first entrepreneurial generation established a small tobacco enterprise in the provincial city of Kalamata, southern Greece. From the 1950s onwards, Karelia has marketed a number of particularly popular cigarette brands that secured a wide distribution network and significant market share for the company on a nationwide level.

The company’s headquarters and production facility continue to be based in Kalamata. The firm moved its operations to its present facilities, measuring 80,000 square meters, in 1971. Its sales and marketing department operates from Karelia’s company building in Athens. Nowadays, the Karelia Tobacco Company ranks as Greece’s largest cigarette manufacturer and exporter, and one of the fastest growing independently owned cigarette companies in the world. It operates offices throughout Greece and distributes its cigarette brands to a sales network covering 45,000 sales points. Internationally, Karelia cigarette brands are marketed in over 65 countries, in western and eastern Europe, North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and the Far East.

Highlighting the firm’s export-oriented nature, Karelia owns five subsidiary firms, of which three are based abroad. One of these, the Karelia Tobacco Company, is based in the UK, and distributes in this territory. In 2008, Karelia founded a subsidiary firm in Turkey, Karelia Tutun ve Ticaret A.S. That same year, Karelia acquired the Backwoods cigar brand from Altadis SA, for the Greek market. It is worth noting that, despite the ongoing economic crisis in Greece, the firm carried out investments worth 3 million euros in 2013 with the objective of increasing production capacity, improving production flexibility, and increasing its export drive. Management is considering making revisions to its industrial structure, a move valued at over 6 million euro. In January, 2014, the firm spent 2.5 million euros on additional personnel costs, which included hiring 35 additional employees.

The company proved its dominance yet again in 2014. Total turnover reached 189 million euros in 2014, a marginal 1.8 percent year-on-year decrease. Pretax profit increased impressively, by 40 percent, to 84.5 million euros in 2014 from 60.6 million euros a year earlier.

Today, BIC VIOLEX serves as the international centre for the BIC group’s razor blades division and employs 1,200 persons. Seventy percent of BIC’s razors for global market are designed and manufactured in Athens. Therefore, it can be asserted that an entirely Greek product dominates markets in all five continents.

Essentially, production procedures of all of BIC’s razor blade shaving products begin in Greece, by a Greek firm that maintains four production facilities in the wider Athens district of Anixi, where the products are designed and manufactured. The location is also home to BIC’s R&D department. Forty patents have been developed there over the past eight years, leading to the supply of new shaving products for the international market.

The parent company, Societe BIC SA, is based in France and produces writing products, lighters, and razors with sales in 160 countries covering all continents, from developed to developing markets.

The Thessaloniki Gas Distribution Company SA (EPA Thessaloniki) was founded in 2000 with a scope to play a role as a driving force in the dissemination of know-how on the use of natural gas in urban consumption. EPA Thessaloniki is owned by Greece’s Public Gas Corporation (DEPA) and a foreign strategic investor (ENI Hellas spa), with each one holding a stake of 51pc and 49pc, respectively, while ENI Hellas also holds the firm’s management.

EPA Thessaloniki holds a 30-year exclusive license from the Ministry of Development for the management of natural gas promotion and supply for customers consuming up to 100 GWh in the wider region of Thessaloniki.

Consumption of natural gas in Thessaloniki is projected to reach an annual 215 million cubic meters in 2015, covering all possible consumption sectors (residential, services, industry). Current household natural gas consumption levels (heating, hot water) are considered satisfactory; however, there is great growth potential in the air conditioning and power cogeneration fields, considering the favourable climatic and energy conditions offered in Greece to widely disseminate new uses.

More than 35 km of new pipelines and some 10,000 new natural gas supply points were constructed in 2014, in various urban regions throughout Thessaloniki, bringing the total number of supply points to over 190,000 at the end of 2014.

Natural gas sales in 2014 amounted to €114 million, posting a drop of 9.8pc compared to €126.5 million in 2013. The drop was mainly due to a drop in the price of natural gas (because of price reductions in oil products), and the application of a discount stipulated in the DEPA-Gazprom agreement.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) stood at €37.27 million in 2014, compared to €41.93 million in 2013, recording a drop of 11.1pc. Operating profits fell to €23.31 million, compared to €28.59 million year-on-year, a drop of 18.5pc. Net profits in 2014 dropped 19.5pc to €17.55 million.

Basing its operations on model entrepreneurship with multinational character over its 46-year history, Pharmathen has, over the past year, begun forging robust strategic partnerships with major international pharmaceutical companies to reinforce its presence in Greece and abroad.

The company made its mark in the pharmaceutical sector’s international map of innovation with a major R&D department achievement for healthcare products, this being its development of Long-Acting Injectable (LAI) technology.

LAI technology is applied to a range of products and contributes drastically to the improvement of the quality of life of patients, as it reduces the amount of injections needed. The development of this innovative technology has led to an agreement with a major US pharmaceutical company for worldwide marketing of two LAI products.

In another strategic alliance forged by Pharmathen in 2014, the company established a partnership with UCB to promote the Belgian company’s allergy products in Greece.

Also, Pharmathen announced a strategic partnership with Novartis to jointly market, in Greece, two innovative medicines for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To meet the needs created by these new developments, Pharmathen announced and added fifty new staff members to its workforce.

The company invests heavily in research and development. Pharmathen is ranked among the EU’s top 50 pharmaceutical companies, in terms of investment in research. According to the company’s investment plan, investments in research and development of pharmaceutical products will exceed 100 million euros during 2013 to 2018. During extraordinarily difficult times, Pharmathen managed to implement an investment plan, exceeding 40 million euros, for the establishment of a new production plant in Sapes, northeastern Greece. The company employs more than 1,000 employees and has doubled its workforce over the past five years. Pharmathen has achieved average annual growth rates of 12% over the past 5 years. In 2014, its total turnover reached 181 million euros, while for 2015 the company will reach a turnover close to 200 million euros. The company’s export activity represents nearly one percent of the country’s exports, overall. Pharmathen holds more than 65 patents concerning both original and generic drugs, and has been awarded numerous prizes at national and international level.

Pharmathen owns three modern research laboratories and two plants, and operates across the spectrum, from development to distribution of pharmaceuticals.

Another subsidiary of the group is the marble trading company MARMI BIANCHI, which is located in Marina di Carrara, Italy.

Living our motto: We are starting there, from where the others can’t go further…

Few companies worldwide have the experience, know-how and the capacity to take over huge projects and to fulfill them successfully on time. F.H.L. I. KIRIAKIDIS GROUP surely proved many times in the past that it is one of them, by delivering prestigious high scale projects with white marbles, either artificially elaborated or in cut-to-size and tile sized shapes in strict delivery schedules. The entirely white marble which covers the Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi, the National Parliament and Conference Hall in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and the pilgrim of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia, can surely prove this!

For us the words HONESTY, EXACTITUTE and PERFECTION are not only words but our stringent line of acting and thinking on all levels.

HONESTY Our customer constitutes an active capital investment for our company we respect him and we respect his demands. We offer individual solutions, standing beside him during all difficulties in order to supply his project in the best possible way with marbles and granites of best quality. We believe that nowadays the vital elements that are missing from our society are not the successful marketing and / or good sales techniques, but the elements of having and living the principles that our parents taught us: Honesty, reliability, stability. This world now misses the old traditional moral values like the word of honor, giving credibility and accepting responsibility. Our customer finds in F.H.L. a reliable partner on which he can count on. We believe that the maximum result in business is gained by inspiring people about the principles which constitute the basis of productivity, that is why our whole workforce, from the management till the production line, is giving always it’s best to reach higher aims.

EXACTITUDE EXACTITUDE is of the essence while elaborating natural stones and especially marble. That is also why we are one of the few companies worldwide, which is offering to its clients a dry lay of the marble pieces with codification relative to the project layout. Our workforce of around 250 people is specialized in the elaboration of natural stones and with many years of experience in the field. In combination with our high technology specialized machinery, we are able to bring out the natural beauty of the marble, constituting it the jewel of each project.

PERFECTION The different definitions of the word “PERFECTION” are quite controversial. Aristotle claims that it is something that is complete and so good that it can’t be better while attaining its purpose. Another approach says, that there lays a paradox in perfection, because only imperfection is perfect. Our definition of perfection is to persist in the task of fulfilling your vision of marble dreams…!

BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM HELLAS SA

Second place in local pharmaceutical market captured

10.857.770

Despite the difficult conditions in the Greek market over the past few years, multinational pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim’s local subsidiary firm has managed to keep posting increased sales figures as a result of its robust export activity. The company’s Greek subsidiary experienced a record-breaking year in 2014 following the completion of an investment in new production facilities in 2012, now fully operational.

Boehringer Ingelheim began its business activity in Greece in 1966, and, several years later, launched an industrial production plant that has operated uninterruptedly until the present day, in Koropi, southeast of Athens. The facility set new standards for the country’s industrial sector. A vertically integrated production unit, the production plant has, since 1997, also focused on markets beyond Greece. Nowadays, the company supplies to over 45 countries in the EU, east Europe, Balkans, North Africa and the Middle East.

In 2013, Boehringer Ingelheim Hellas maintained its strong position in the domestic pharmaceutical market, posting net sales of 299 million euros, a 23% year-on-year increase. Exports in 2013 amounted to 208 million, rising by 36.8%, spurred by the production and exportation of Micardis, medication for high blood pressure, from the company’s Koropi production facility. Pretax profit reached 11 million euros in 2013.

Investment activity launched at the factory in 2012, for the development of a new unit, has been completed. As a result, the pharmaceutical company has begun producing new antidiabetic drugs that promise to further bolster the company’s export drive. Company exports currently represent about one percent of the country’s total exports. The company’s objective is for exports to reach half a billion euros. It is worth noting that Boehringer Ingelheim Hellas is the only multinational pharmaceutical company that maintains its own plant in Greece. The local subsidiary’s impressive performance has encouraged the parent company to invest considerably in its Greek operation, which has provided strong support for Greek exports.

The Boehringer Ingelheim group is one of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies worldwide. Headquartered in Ingelheim, Germany, it operates globally with 140 affiliates and more than 47,400 employees. In 2014, the Greek subsidiary posted a total turnover of 245 million euros, down from 299 million euros in the previous year. Pretax profit fell by 8 percent to 10 million euros from 10.8 million euros a year earlier.

Galaxias, the Greek supermarket

Turnover 432.801.929

GALAXIAS supermarket chain began its course in 1971 when five friends, working as employees in various fields, decided to pool their savings and enter the consumer products sector with their first outlet.

The venture’s starting capital of 300,000 drachmas in 1971 was used to form a limited liability company named PENTE, involving a five-member team of shareholders led by the late Vassilis Himonidis (1933-2008). In 1982, the firm converted its legal status from a limited liability to an SA company and proceeded with the development of a supermarket chain. Ten years later, PENTE SA acquired ARGO SA, holding a 99.8% stake, and incorporated the latter’s 13 retail outlets into its supermarket chain. During that same year, the firm launched its first supermarket in provincial Greece, in Orchomenos, Boetia, northwest of Athens.

At the end of 2013, the supermarket chain numbered 137 retail outlets, 54 of these located in the wider Athens area, and the rest scattered from Corinth, west of Athens, to Kilkis, northern Greece.

Besides operating as retail outlets, thirteen of these outlets also operate as Cash & Carry spots at a wholesale level. Sixty-two of the chains are company-owned, and the rest are leased. The company strives to own all the property it operates from.

At a consumer level, the company’s objective is to offer the lowest possible prices. As part of its competitive pricing strategy, the firm offers over 900 private-label products. At present, Pente SA and Argo SA employ a total of 3,500 persons. The company has established an incentive program through which top-performing employees are awarded prizes and trips abroad on an annual basis.

Employees of distinction are also offered the opportunity of becoming company shareholders.

The majority of company shares are held by employees, who participate at board and shareholder meetings, and are entitled to their respective share of company profits.

In 2013, the supermarket chain’s total turnover slipped marginally, by 2 percent, to 432 million euros from 442 million euros in 2012. Pretax profit fell by 12 percent to 10.8 million euros in 2013 from 12.3 million euros in 2012.

VIANEX - The living history of Greek pharmaceutical industry The pharmaceutical company VIANEX SA could be said to reflect the living history of the Greek pharmaceutical industry, as for more than 90 years, Giannakopoulos family has been active in the pharmaceutical drug sector.

The starting point was the establishment of one of the first pharmacies of Athens, in Pireus street,

by Dimitris Giannakopoulos in 1924.

The next great milestone was 1971, when the President & Founder of VIANEX S.A., Paul J. Giannacopoulos, pushed forward with a program of rapid expansion, concluded agreements with pharmaceutical companies of international repute such as Merck & Co (USA), Takeda Chemical Industries (Japan), Sigma Tau Industries (Italy), and Eli Lilly (USA), which have entrusted the company with the production and representation of their products in the Greek market.

In 1977 the company started its production activities with the establishment of its first factory. In 1983 Vianex acquired a second production facility. Two years later, the productive capacity of the company was further advanced by the acquisition of a third facility, and in 1995 the subsidiary company VIAN SA was founded to undertake the distribution and marketing of what are known as overthe-counter (OTC) non-prescription medicines, food supplements, diagnostics and pharmaceuticalrelated products.

In 1997 VIANEX relocated its head offices and its finished product distribution center to Varibobi, in north Athens.

In 1999 Vianex acquired a fourth facility specialising in the production of cephalosporin antibiotics.

In 2006 the company went ahead with the foundation of ELDRUG SA, a spin-off company for research and development in conjunction with the University of Patras, and in 2011 Vianex obtained approval as a supplier from the World Health Organization and UNICEF. With the company now under the leadership of Dimitris Giannakopoulos, 2013 was also an important year for the group, which concluded an agreement with the company Eli Lilly to produce 10 million units of vancomycin per year for 100% export to China.

In 2015, VIAN SA took over the distribution and marketing of the No.1 analgesic/antipyretic product line DEPON, as an outcome of the agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb.

The company has been active in export markets for more than 20 years. The worldwide expansion of the company’s export business and its steady growth over the last decade has made VIANEX one of the largest exporters in Greece. VIANEX exports in the markets of 35 countries across Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa.

It has international accreditation (IQNET, EFQM, EU GMP, EU GDP) and holds 48 quality approval certificates. Health organizations in more than 13 countries have awarded VIANEX manufacturing facilities with a total of 32 GMP certificates. Every year, representatives of 20 of the largest multinational quality standard agencies come to inspect VIANEX facilities and verify that the company’s quality systems follow the latest international standards before approving the circulation of its products in Greek and international markets.

Today Vianex is still the leading company in the Greek pharmaceutical industry, with exceptional high-level production capabilities and a workforce of over 1,100 employees. It provides a fully vertically-integrated range of production and distribution services for pharmaceutical products, and continues to expand the range of services it offers to the market sector.

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 9.288.798

Our story starts in 1965,when in our first facilities, in the center of Larissa, we started collecting milk from the stock breeders of the region so as to make our authentic, traditional, local products.

Since then, a lot of “milk has been …spilt in the churn” until we reached 1998. It was then when our transfer from the center of Larissa to our today’s facilities in Gyrtoni, Larissa was realized, always being in cooperation with the region’s stock breeders and focusing on the high level of the conditions of breeding and living of the cows, which constitute the most basic guarantee for a type of milk that is excellent, with a rich taste and suitable for the entire family.

Up to 2000 we have been operating locally in the Thessaly region, with the greater distribution in the local market of Larissa. The following year, in 2001, it is the year when we start selling our products in the whole of Greece. This will be marked by a pioneering movement for those times, since we first in Greece, sold the Fresh Selected OLYMPUS Milk in transparent bottles.

As much as outstanding this choice was, equally outstanding was the Fresh Selected OLYMPUS Milk, thanks to the A’ material specifications that were and are, at least, 50% more strict than the limits of the European legislation, and also thanks to the fact that the milk collection takes place in farm units within short distances from our facilities. The top A’ material quality of the milk was one of the components for the OLYMPUS unprecedented success.

The experience of three generations of milk producers, carrying the memories of the family creamery in the basement of the family home and the advice of the father who would always say that “ if you don’t have any good milk, you are not going to make any good cheese”, the faithful attachment to the beliefs and values of the authentic, traditional way of living and production of the products, and also the honesty that characterizes the OLYMPUS company, helped us built relations of trust and immediacy with the consumer which up to today is one of our most important advantages.

In the 2000-2010 decade with an already pan-Hellenic activity and with continuously expanding our products’ range, we start also the exports to more and more countries. Thus, today we make it possible for people from 34 countries to enjoy our products and benefit from the values of the Greek Mediterranean diet and the authentic Greek products.

This year, we complete 50 years of unceasing operation. And we believe that, on the occasion of this anniversary, there is nothing more substantial than to make a commitment to continue to be always by the Greek consumer’s side, with trust and honesty and also to support the Greek production, believing that the Greek land can produce excellent products, which, we in OLYMPUS, can exploit offering the consumer Greek products of a superior quality and taste.

Procter & Gamble is one of the leading consumer products companies in the world. Its products are used daily by approximately 4.8 billion people of the roughly 7 billion living on the planet.

Procter & Gamble possesses one of the largest and strongest portfolios for daily products, in a wide range of categories, including Ace, Always, Ambi Pur, Ariel, Bounty, Charmin, Crest, Dawn, Downy, Duracell, Fairy, Fusion, Gain, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Lenor, Mach3, Olay, Oral-B, Pampers, Pantene, Tide, Vicks, Wella and Whisper.

Overall, the Procter & Gamble group is present in 175 countries, employs over 121,000 employees through subsidiaries in 70 countries, and produces and sells more than 300 products.

Procter & Gamble was founded in 1837 in Cincinnati , USA, by two European immigrants, William Procter and James Gamble. With sales exceeding 82.6 billion dollars in 2013, Procter & Gamble ranks as one of the largest business groups worldwide.

In Greece, the multinational took its first steps in the early 50s, represented by the company GENKA, which primarily imported Tide ZK, a detergent for washing clothing by hand, through various traders. Founded in 1960 by Viochrom, an existing Greek company headed by Thanasis Gertsos and producing clothing dyes and detergents, Procter & Gamble Hellas became one of the first companies to establish a base in Greece. Its first offices were set up at the capital’s Syntagma square, while a facility producing detergents was developed at Viochrom’s facilities in Agia Varvara, Egaleo, western Athens.

In the ‘70s, when automatic washing machines hit the Greek market in major numbers, the company introduced its first major detergent for Greece, Ariel. The decade ended with the arrival of the company’s Pampers nappies in the local market.

Seeking to offer support to the Greek economy, Procter & Gamble developed an innovation center in Greece, an initiative based on preceding models established by the multinational company in countries such as Germany and the UK. The center has enabled the company to support R&D programs for current market trends and developments.

The company holds a leading position in the Greek market but has been significantly affected by the decline in consumption, resulting in a total turnover decline of 17% in 2013 and a net profit fall of 27%. Total turnover fell to 289.86 million euros in 2013 from 350.35 million euros a year earlier.

Pretax profit fell to 7.6 million euros in 2013 from 10.4 million euros in 2012.

Energean Oil & Gas is a private E&P company focused on the Mediterranean and N. Africa, with a track record of over 30 years as an offshore and onshore operator of oil & gas assets in environmentally sensitive areas.

Energean holds a 100% working interest in the Prinos and South Kavala development areas within the Prinos Basin, offshore Greece and is the only oil & gas producer in the country.

Energean has invested over $200mm in the Greek E&P sector during 2007-2014 and it has planned a $200mm new investment plan during 2015-2017 aiming to increase production up to 10,000 barrels per day.

The company has a balanced portfolio of assets with production from the Prinos field in NE Greece, reserves of 30 million barrels (2P) audited by ERC Equipoise, 28 million barrels of contingent resources (2C) and significant exploration potential in licenses held in Greece (ofnshore Ioannina and offshore Katakolo), onshore Egypt and deep-water Israel , which provide the basis for future organic growth.

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES

The company’s development is rooted in Norwegian industrial firm Norsk Hydro, which dates back to 1905. At the time, industrialists Sam Eyde, Kristian Birkeland and Marcus Wallenberg tapped into Norway’s considerable natural resources to produce the company’s first important product, mineral fertilizer. It attracted worldwide attention as it enabled farmers to boost their yields.

Yara’s fertilizers, crop nutrition programs and technologies increase yields, improve product quality and reduce the environmental impact of agricultural practices. Industrial and environmental solutions improve air quality by reducing emissions from industry and transportation, and serve as key ingredients in the production of a wide range of goods. Throughout the organization, a culture that promotes the safety of employees, contractors and society is fostered. Today, Yara has a worldwide presence, with more than 12,000 employees and sales to over 150 countries.

Yara converts energy, natural minerals and nitrogen from the air into essential products for farmers and industrial customers. The main application is fertilizers, while industrial uses and environmental solutions are also important growth segments. Yara’s global activities range from phosphate mining and ammonia production, commodity trade and energy arbitrage, to building local market knowledge and developing customer relationships. The backbone of the company’s operations has traditionally relied on large-scale ammonia and fertilizer production in Europe. In recent years, new potential has developed in regions with low-cost gas supplies. Yara ensures reliable supplies of mineral fertilizer and related industrial products to customers worldwide. The company benefits from its economies of scale advantages as the world’s largest producer of ammonia, nitrate and complex fertilizer, and with about 20% of global ammonia trade.

Quality assurance is central to the company’s services. A robust internal quality system is in place to ensure that all data produced is consistently reliable and accurate. In addition, the laboratory holds both BS-EN-ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 levels of accreditation and, as a condition for maintaining these accreditations, it regularly participates in internationally recognized proficiencytesting schemes.

In 2013, the company’s Greek subsidiary posted a total turnover figure of 107 million euros, up by 10 percent. Pretax profit increased by 40 percent, rising to 5.9 million euros.

KRI-KRI MILK INDUSTRY SA

Among the most dynamic dairy product industries

Turnover 68.128.756

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 5.344.129

The Kri Kri dairy industry’s roots date back to 1954 when George Tsinavos, the company’s founder, opened a small pastry business in Serres, northern Greece, which produced and distributed ice cream and confectionery products around the town. Back in those days, ice cream was sold by roving hawkers equipped with handcarts that used ice and salt for cooling. Kri Kri ice creams, especially “cassata”, a unique ice cream, made using sheep’s milk for an extremely rich taste, gradually began gaining popularity beyond Serres. The ‘80s and ‘90s defined the company’s subsequent course. In 1987, the company constructed a new factory that also led to the production of yogurt made using fresh sheep and cow’s milk, gathered from the Serres area. In the mid-90s, Kri Kri set up a branch in the Athens area, a move that bolstered its distribution network for nationwide market coverage.

Nowadays, the company’s products - ice cream, yogurt and fresh milk - are distributed extensively to both supermarkets and smaller retail outlets, and are also exported. At present, the company exports the majority of its range of products to 20 countries in Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East. As a key part of Kri Kri’s effort to target mainstream markets in other countries, and not just Greek Diaspora communities, its products are available at a number of major international supermarket chains.

The company’s headquarters and main production plant are located in Serres. The company holds a majority 60 percent stake in a dairy production facility in Iraq’s Kurdish region, which supplies the Middle East market. It also holds a 49.29 percent stake in a facility in Sofia, Bulgaria, currently undergoing liquidation procedures. Kri Kri also operates its own distribution center in Aspropyrgos, on the western outskirts of Athens, used as a launching pad to supply the country’s south.

Kri Kri began its exporting activity in 2000 with the aim of developing a presence in Europe and other international markets. It has based its exporting effort on two key areas, understanding the unique needs of other countries and offering products of high nutritional value and quality.

The company posted increased total turnover but decreased profit figures in 2014. Total turnover increased by 13% to 77.1 million euros from 68.1 million a year earlier. Pretax profit decreased by 13%, to 4.6 million euros compared to 5.3 million euros in 2013.

Soya Mills SA

From flour and vegetable oils to biofuel

Marina - Ofloudi Giavroglou Turnover 212.812.316

Formed in 1970, Soya Mills SA remains one of the biggest firms in the field of production and trade of soya and soybean oil. It operates company-owned facilities in the Corinth region, west of Athens.

The firm processes and trades soybean oil and olive oil. To reach the market, raw oils are first processed at the company’s modern facility. Soya Mills SA was the first company in Greece to engage itself in the production of soybean oil. The firm is also active in the trade of sizeable amounts of corn, barley, oats, and wheat.

Soya Mills SA has also expanded its activities into other fields. More specifically, the enterprise acquired an olive oil production company and renamed the venture Hellenic Fine Oils (HFO). This firm is active in the production and packaging of olive oil. It exports to China, Japan, and Brazil.

The firm’s establishment and 51% ownership of a recent venture, GF Energy, which is active in the production of biofuel, ranks as its most significant development. The total cost of this initiative is budgeted at 17 million euro. Part of the cost is being financed by EU subsidy programs. The business, whose production is based at a fully automated and environmentally friendly facility, stands as a biofuel alternative for farmers. Many company operations are fused in the production process. The soya mill operation provides raw materials for biofuel production. This biofuel facility, whose production capacity amounts to 130,000 tons annually, began operating in 2009 and produces close to 25,000 tons annually.

Commenting on the GF Energy venture, the company’s managing director Marina Ofloudi noted: “We have signed contracts for approximately 20,000 hectares and will soon proceed with additional agreements of similar magnitudes.”

Soya Mills intends to expand its contract-based farming business activity into its Hellenic Fine Oils (HFO) venture, especially with producers in southern Greece. The objective, according to the managing director, is to “achieve steady prices and quality regarding olive oil, so that we can export.”

In 2014, Uni-Pharma entered a new chapter in the company’s history by launching a new factory, a 14,000-square meter facility at a three-storey building, to produce all of the company’s products.

This facility and the company headquarters are both located in Kifissia, northern Athens. The company also operates an 11,000-square meter facility for product storage and distribution management. Founded in 1967 by Cleon Tsetis, UNI-Pharma has grown, over the past five decades, to become a large and dynamic company. It ranks first in terms of sales in the Greek pharmaceutical market among purely Greek companies, selling 21 million product units per year.

A pharmacist with a vision to strengthen the presence of Greek companies in the pharmaceutical industry, Cleon Tsetis led the company to increase business through the use of modern and innovative technology, including research and development of new formulations of existing drugs.

Uni-Pharma researches, develops, produces and distributes pharmaceuticals, food supplements and medical devices. The main objective of the company is to enter new markets as a producer of innovative products. From its very first year, Uni-Pharma succeeded in developing innovative forms of pharmaceutical drugs. It was the first company in the world to present phenobarbital as an oral solution, a breakthrough that received broad support from pediatricians.

In 1977, the company introduced its Salospir product (acetylsalicylic acid) to Europe in the form of tablets with enteric coating, in dosages ranging from 80mg to 1,000mg. Salospir sales exceeded 200 million tablets in 2012. In 1992, having developed a method of solubilization for paracetamol, UniPharma became the world’s first company to introduce injectable paracetamol, known as Apotel®.

Uni-Pharma’s T4® products, for treatment of thyroid diseases, are available in 13 different contents.

Moreover, Uni-Pharma is a pioneer company in Greece specializing in the production of effervescent forms of acetylsalicylic acid and paracetamol, a combination of acetylsalicylic acid and vitamin C, and paracetamol combined with vitamin C. In 1998, Uni-Pharma acquired European patents for injectable solutions of paracetamol and paracetamol combined with other active substances. At present, the company employs about 175 persons, 30 percent of these being scientific researchers.

In 2013, the company’s total turnover reached 39.3 million euros, up from 33 million euros in 2012, a 16 percent year-on-year increase. Profit fell to 4.8 million euros from 6.1 million euros, a 21.8 percent decrease.

Vitafarm is one of the largest and most dynamic pharmaceutical warehouses in Greece, which, despite the crisis and the sharp decline in pharmaceutical expenditure in this country, has managed to steadily increase its financial performance every year since its launch. Vitafarm emerged from a merger between two companies, European Medicines SA and OTC Center SA, in 2001.

Vitafarm operates in privately owned facilities covering an area of 3,000 ​​ square meters and fully equipped with the most modern equipment in the pharmaceutical warehouses sector, including the Austrian robotic KNAPP system for automatic execution of fast moving codes. This year, the company plans to install two robotic units made by German company ROWA for automatic execution of slow moving codes.

Vitafarm, a member of the pharmaceutical warehouses group of S.

Through this effort, Vitafarm aims to protect both its own operations, nine wholesalers as a whole, and business partner-pharmacists from external threats, as almost all companies in the sector have been negatively impacted by the country’s bailout agreement and reduced spending in pharmaceuticals, making the need for partnerships even more crucial.

Despite Greece’s unprecedented economic crisis, the company managed to emerge as one of the most profitable Greek pharmaceutical wholesalers in 2012 and 2013. It was awarded a Diamonds of the Greek Economy prize by STAT BANK. In 2013, the company posted a 4.7 percent increase in total turnover, reaching 85.2 million euros from 81.4 million euros a year earlier.

MSC in Greece The Mediterranean Shipping Company has decided to develop an information and services center for the corporate group in Greece. In doing so, the shipping giant has opted to establish its “Shared Services Documentation Center – SSDC” beyond its Swiss headquarters. Despite intense campaigning by agencies at major ports around the world, the company’s owners, the Aponte family, ended up opting for Piraeus, Greece’s largest port, as its choice of location for the new department.

The shipping giant, which also maintains a strong presence in the cruise ship sector, plans to establish the center at its current company building at Piraeus port.

The objective of the SSDC center will be to gather, process, and distribute information and services concerning all company activities to the group’s international network of agencies.

As part of the initiative’s first stage, 150 new jobs will be created by the middle of the current year, while the number is expected to rise to 250 soon afterwards. In the longer-term, the MSC center is expected to employ some 500 persons, a development, which, according to MSC Greece manager Christina Theodorika, will require the company to relocate to a larger Piraeus base.

This company’s move to establish a new center in Piraeus further bolsters the shipping cluster being developed at Piraeus port, and also contributes to the effort being made to reduce the country’s alarming unemployment problem.

The company maintains a production capacity of more than 2 million basic cartons (24 x 1kg equivalent), approximately 15% of the total processed in Greece, and a total covered production and warehouse space of 200,000 square meters, which place P.

Despite doing business in a very challenging sector, fashion and accessories, Luxottica Hellas is managing to weather the ongoing crisis relatively unaffected. Despite the overall negativity of market conditions and decreased consumer purchasing power, the firm’s profit figures have remained high, while sales have risen.

The roots of the firm’s successful course hail back to 1991, at a fashion show in Paris, where the owner of Luxottica requested to meet Greek entrepreneur Stratos Tzatzimakis, who was informed of Luxottica’s plans to launch a subsidiary firm in Greece, with or without a business partner.

The Cretan entrepreneur immediately took a firm hold of the opportunity and the venture was named Luxottica Hellas. Tzatzimakis’s partner in the venture eventually withdrew.

Luxottica Hellas markets sunglasses and reading glasses manufactured at the Luxottica plant, as well as sunglasses by celebrated firms, including Vogue, Byblos, Armani, Yves Saint Lauren, and Bvlgari, all of which provide the firm with a 50% share of the Greek market.

In 2013, the firm’s sales increased by 2.63% to reach 26 million euros from 25.2 million euros a year earlier. The firm’s gross profit figure rose marginally to 9.3 million euros in 2013 from 9.2 million euros in 2012.

Pretax profit decreased by 9.52% to 4 million euros from 4.4 million euros a year earlier. Finally, total debt remained unchanged at 8.7 million euros in 2013.

The parent company was founded in 1961 by Leonardo Del Vecchio in Agordo, Italy. These days, the company’s headquarters are located in Milan. Luxottica Group S.p.A is the world’s largest eyewear company, controlling over 80% of the world’s major eyewear brands. Its best known brands are RayBan, Persol and Oakley. It also makes sunglasses and prescription frames for a multitude of designer brands such as Chanel and Prada, whose designs and trademarks are used under license. Luxottica also makes sunglasses branded as Giorgio Armani, Burberry, Stella McCartney, Versace, Vogue, Miu Miu, Tory Burch, and Donna Karan. Its prime competitor is the Safilo Group S.p.A.

OPTIMA’s history dates back to 1974, when Pantelis Panteliadis and his wife Ourania, operating from a modest office in the Athens tower, began the story of this successful, Greek family business.

SEKA SA was established back in 1961 by Nikos J. Vardinogiannis. It was initially launched as a collaborative effort with Mobil Corporation and Aristotle Onassis, as a bunkering station for vessels crossing the southeastern Mediterranean.

Initially, bunkering operations were performed through the use of an anchored ‘mother’ vessel at the natural port of Kali Limenes, located at the southern tip of Crete. Client vessels were tied alongside the ‘mother’ vessel for fuelling and provisions. In 1966, SEKA completed the construction of a tank station on Agios Pavlos, also known as Mikronisi, an islet in the Libyan Sea, just a quarter of a mile off the Cretan shore. The tank facility consists of six tanks offering a total capacity of more than 31,000 metric tons. For decades, the station thrived as a renowned port call, providing quality services to a large number of vessels utilizing the Suez sea route. SEKA extended its bunkering operations in Piraeus when the Vardinogiannis-owned Motor Oil (Hellas) SA began operating a refinery in Agii Theodori, close to Corinth, west of Athens. Bunkering deliveries are made at the refinery and Piraeus port’s wider area (Piraeus Roads).

MANNA BAKERY, N. TSATSARONAKIS S.A.

Combining quality and high nutritional value The company’s roots hail back to a small bakery established in 1948 in the Cretan town of Platanos, close to Hania, by Haritos Tsatsaronakis. It quickly acquired the “Manna” business name. During its early years, the bakery provided bread to Platanos and nearby villages. Later on, the founder’s son, Nikos, and his wife, Maria, joined the business. They introduced barley rusk production to the enterprise’s activities. In 1963, the company began selling rusks to Hania, followed by Athens not long after. Nowadays, after four rounds of expansion, the small bakery has been transformed into a major baking plant producing 53 different products. The company’s very first village business continues to operate, remaining faithful to the principles behind the company’s origins.

The company’s production facilities cover an area of around 7,000 square metres and are equipped with four production lines. All production is prepared in compliance with international food production standards. As a result, the company has been certified by TUV HELLAS and the HACCP food management and safety system. Also, the company’s organic products have been certified to European standards by the national organization for the control and certification of organic products.

The company makes it a point to monitor market developments with respect to new mechanical equipment available.

TUPPERWARE HELLAS SA

Market leader over the past seven decades The well-known “Tupperware” brand made its first appearance in America in 1946, when Earl Tupper introduced the WONDERLIER BOWL, which is still sold today. The WONDERLIER BOWL had an advantage over all other food containers as it was lighter, did not break like glass or ceramics, and, mainly, because it was accompanied by a watertight and airtight lid. Despite the revolution that was brought about by the new product, it did not manage to sell satisfactorily in supermarkets, as consumers needed demonstrations to understand its uses and operation.

In response to the subdued reaction, TUPPERWARE introduced a completely new way of approaching consumers in 1948 - residential demonstrations. TUPPERWARE emerged in Greece in 1964 and, three years later, began operating a factory in Thebes. Today, the Thebes factory is one of four operated by the firm in Europe. It is equipped with modern machinery and highly qualified staff. At present, TUPPERWARE products are available in 100 countries around the world, offering products for all needs and cultures. Every two seconds, a Tupperware demonstration is being performed around the world. In today’s information age, consumers can feel confident about finding Tupperware products easily thanks to an extensive distribution network covering the whole of Greece.

New inventions allow Tupperware products to withstand extreme temperatures, from -40 degrees Celsius up to 230 degrees Celsius. The company’s total turnover increased by 3% in 2013 to 40.4 million euros from 39.3 million euros a year earlier. Net pretax profit fell by 19% to 2.6 million euros in 2013 from 3.3 million euros in 2012.

CORAL GAS SA

Serving over one million clients

John V. Vardinoyannis

Turnover 122.639.000

Coral Gas SA emerged from the acquisition by MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES SA of SHELL’s downstream commercial activities in Greece in the summer of 2010. The acquisition involved a transfer of all shares in Shell Hellas SA and Shell Gas SA to MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES SA. The firm, prior to the finalization of the deal, was renamed to Coral Gas SA. As a company integrated into the Motor Oil group, Coral Gas now employs a staff of 95 and carries new company signs, which helped it establish a new corporate image. Through its three facilities in Athens, Thessaloniki and Ioannina, Coral Gas serves over one million clients, supplying liquid gas with safety and reliability for various uses, including domestic, businesses and auto, as an alternative form of a more affordable and eco-friendly fuel, as well as other innovative products and services, such as new gas cylinders equipped with Flow Limiting Valves for maximum safety.

In 2012, the firm launched an extensive investment plan focusing on increasing liquid gas use as auto fuel, as well as for heating by consumers in areas far away from existing gas pipeline infrastructure. Indicative of the investment plan’s progress was the fact that liquid gas stations were virtually doubled from 50 in 2011 to 99 in December 2012. The number of liquid gas stations continued to increase in 2013, reaching 157. Growth is expected to continue further in 2015, with a target set to operate a total of 251 liquid gas stations.

The company also plans to push ahead with a modernization program for the firm’s Aspropyrgos facilities, on the western outskirts of Athens, to boost output. Another similar plan involves the inspection and recertification of older gas cylinders.

The company’s turnover in 2014 rose to €127.45 million, recording an increase of 3.92pc compared to 2013. The result was mainly attributed to higher liquid gas sales in 2014 over 2013. Coral Gas’ sales of liquid gas in 2014 rose by 7.72pc to over 127.5 million tons from 118.4 million tons a year earlier.

SANI SA, a Greek family-owned venture founded 40 years ago by the parents of the enterprise’s current management, exemplifies a hotel business operating at a level of maximum efficiency. The company’s financial performance stands as solid proof. For yet another year, the business, owned by the siblings Stavros and Andreas Andreadis and Phaedon Zisiadis, posted a slight total turnover increase to reach just under 51 million euros. The company’s profit rose by 13% to nearly 8.5 million euros. SANI SA holds the title as Greece’s most profitable hotel business.

Compared to the sector’s wider picture, SANI SA has floated well above the financial woes that have plagued numerous Greek hotel enterprises in recent years. But a marked improvement has been observed in the sector. Research conducted by Active Business Publishing in the hotel sector last year showed considerable increases in both turnover and profit. More specifically, a sample of 220 hotels in Greece showed that the sum of their losses incurred in 2012, an alarming amount of 147 million euros, was drastically reduced to 30 million euros in 2013. The total turnover figure of all 220 hotels, combined, rose by 17%, reaching just under 800 million euros.

SANI SA controls the Sani Resort in Kassandra, Halkidiki, a breathtaking holiday location that offers escape to a natural environment where man and nature co-exist in harmony. The resort has been developed on a company-owned expanse measuring 450 hectares with a view of Mount Olympus and the Aegean Sea. Features include the Sani Beach Hotel, the Sani Beach Club, Porto Sani Village, and the Sani Asterias Suites. The resort’s marina and luxury villas built in the wider Sani area contribute to an overall setting that could be described as the country’s first fully developed tourism locale.

SANI SA has also established a long-term collaboration with Oaktree Capital Management, a US investment fund managing over 80 billion dollars that is currently making a dynamic entry into Greek tourism-related real estate. The US investment fund, established in 1995 by Howard Stanley Marks and Bruce Karsh, has, in recent years, displayed a heightened interest for investment in Greekowned companies, particularly in shipping, tourism and banking. The fund is considered the world’s leading distress-debt investor. In 2008, it managed to accumulate 10.9 billion dollars to create the Opportunities Fund VII. Social security funds, foundations, and state investment funds represent Oaktree Capital Management’s main clients.

The internet has revolutionized practically every industry. It is both a channel and a mass medium to the Global Market. It deifies geography and its effect may be well witnessed in every aspect of human activity.

What we now take for granted, back in the 90’s, when I started the B2B Gaming Platform, all this was not at all crystallized; back then, I had a fascination with the banking & investment markets, observing how the internet culture affected these sectors.

It may have been that quote from Seneca that gave me the idea that gambling resembles the way stocks were traded.

B2B Gaming Platform was born on the idea that betting and gaming deserve an industry-specific tool, a platform upon which to pursue the business, deliver powerful business advantage to each individual company in the industry, offer a safe and secure player environment that is legislation, culture and country specific; most importantly a platform which provides and welcomes fascinating play.

By 1997, B2B was already a market leader in developing innovations on its proprietary gaming platform and we all took great pride in the technology involved, as it was not that common in those days to provide full customization in a complete management solution for the online betting and

DIAMONDS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY 2015 - DISTINGUISHED COMPANIES

gaming industry. Especially because we had to accommodate a variety of requirements, demonstrating reliability, while maintaining a high degree of versatility with a competitive edge for each of our different client users.

In order for us to really expand upon these principles, we ourselves dared to take “the reality check” of the retail business as well. That is how our “retail brand” emerged, the well-known and highly successful BETSHOP brand. BETSHOP, not only clarified the entire philosophy, principles, code of professional conduct and status of B2B Gaming Services (the provider of the platform), it also suggested a pioneer model of operation, which revolutionized the standards by providing the benchmark for the relevant KPIs of the industry.

BETSHOP, being today one of the most successful online & retail brands of B2B GAMING SERVICES, signifying what I like to call “the end of the digital beginning”, enjoys remarkable growth, pioneering in the future of the industry.

BETSHOP entertains 700.000 active users, with an average of 6.200.000 betting slips per month, has an annual turnover of more than 2 billion euro and turned 54 million euro in betting duty taxes in Greece alone (2013 / 2014).

I have this firm belief that the extent to which the online betting and gaming industry can operate as a legitimate tool of economic development, will depend largely upon the resolution of “conflicts” among “competing” perspectives.

I have put this belief to the test for 20+ years of enterprising in different countries (the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Romania, South Africa, and Greece), being much rewarded from the performance of my initiatives.

Since 2011, when we first started to operate in Greece under a transitional framework, I keep longing for a mutually beneficial and definite resolution. Until then I remain an optimist and pay my dues.

The history of EPSA dates back to 1924, when there was a surplus of lemons in the geographical area of Pelion. Observing a sales increase of traditional lemonade by peddlers, the owners of EPSA set the goal to create a factory that produces Soft Drinks. A German Chemical Engineer was invited to assist with the production of lemonade. It was then that the secret recipe was born and is preserved until today. Maintaining, already, cold rooms for the conservation of fruits and sale of ice, EPSA starts, as well, the production of Soft Drinks. At that time, EPSA was the basic distributor of power supply for the whole area around.

During the nine decades that passes since then, a lot of progress has been done. In 1937 EPSA was awarded the “Golden Award for Quality” at Thessaloniki International Fair. In 1940 the noted glass bottle of EPSA, that was meant to become the landmark of the brand, is designed.

Today, EPSA is still situated at exactly the same place in Agria area, in the city of Volos, maintaining modern facilities for the production of Soft Drinks. EPSA applies systems of quality control ISO 9001:2008, ISO 22000, and an IFS Food Standard certification.

The last years, next to the classic orangeade, lemonade, lemon soda and soda water, many new products have been added: Ice Tea in several flavors, Tonic, Sour Cherry drink, Organic Lemonade and Orangeade and Lemonade, Orangeade and Lemon Cola light (with sweetener from stevia plant). Last, but not least, “light drops”, a liquid sweetener from the stevia plant, was the new innovation.

The impressive story of Apivita, a Greek company that has been creating natural, effective and holistic products since 1979 with the aim of promoting health and beauty, began in one single pharmacy.

The story of Apivita is virtually synonymous with the story of Nick and Niki Koutsianas, both trained pharmacists, who met working in a pharmacy in Athens in 1972 and discovered they shared a passion for nature. It was in this pharmacy that the company’s first natural cosmetics, made using bee products and local herbs, were introduced to the market.

Apivita was established in 1979, becoming Greece’s first natural cosmetics company in Greece, inspired by bee products, Greece’s rich Greek flora, and the ancient holistic approach of Hippocrates.

The company name, meaning “life of bees”, derived from the Latin words “apis” (bee) and “vita” (life), is more than just a title. It reflects the identity and philosophy of Apivita as an organized, productive and sustainable development, as is the case with honeybee societies.

Nowadays, Apivita products are sold in thousands of pharmacies around Greece, while the company is present in 14 countries around the world, including Spain, Cyprus, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Romania, Ukraine, Japan, and Hong Kong.

In late 2013, the company launched a unique shop, its “Tie Apivita Experience Store”, in the Greek capital’s chic inner district of Kolonaki. Consisting of 5 floors, its set-up was, not surprisingly, inspired by bee societies and Greek nature.

Last year, the company celebrated its 35th anniversary with the establishment of Apivita Japan, the company’s subsidiary firm in Japan. A year earlier, the company moved to its new base, a bioclimatic facility in Markopoulo, on the eastern outskirts of Athens. The facility stands in harmony with the company’s philosophy and environmental values.

The company’s R & D department consists of 10 highly qualified scientists specializing in the fields of chemistry, cosmetics and chemical engineering.

Apivita products consist of natural ingredients that offer the most powerful nutritional benefits, these being Greek and Mediterranean plants, plant and herb extracts, vegetable oils and plant infusions in place of regular water, 100% pure essential oils, bee products - propolis, royal jelly, honey, beeswax – and natural active ingredients such as resveratrol, lycopene, polyphenols, violavanoeidi, and safer, biodegradable preservatives.

In 2013, the company’s total turnover increased to 32.8 million euros from 29.4 million euros a year earlier. Profit reached 447,000 euros, up from 412,000 euros in the previous year.
