Melissa Kikizas S.A.

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

Today, seven decades later, the third generation of Kikizas family leads one of the largest food companies in Greece, exporting products to more than 45 countries.

Melissa Kikizas is a major Greek company operating in the FMCG industry with leading position in its categories and strong exporting presence. Our main brands are Melissa, Stella, Primo Gusto, Deveta, Αvez, Vlaha and Terra Creta and we are the exclusive distributors of KRAFT HEINZ and DEL MONTE in Greece. Additionally, the company has achieved the Best Place to Work award for 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2019.

The vertically-organized mill and pasta plant complex in Larissa produces every year more than 50.000 tons of pasta, which makes us one of the largest pasta producers in the Balkans.

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