A CENTURY OF ACTION AT THE SERVICE OF HEALTHCARE

There are not many companies having more than 100 years of life in Greece, especially in the health industry.

The activity of our company started in 1914 in Thessaloniki and from the beginnings of the 1960s it got a nationwide dimension. However, it is still headquartered in Thessaloniki; the city with which our name holds a strong connection having as a landmark our store at 72 Egnatia Ave. It is the place where a great and exciting story began, a story that keeps going!
