Organic Products
Alapis's activities in the organic products sector indicate the Group's respect and consideration for society as a whole but also its investment policy in a growing sector with extremely positive prospects. The sector of organic product manufacturing, distribution and trade is still making its first steps in Greece. Alapis is involved mainly in the wholesale market of domestic and imported organic products. Right now, it is leading this growing sector, by providing support to Greek farmers with regard to the creation of organic crops and distributing its products either through its privately-owned chain of retail stores, or by sending them to specialised packaging and processing plants. Alapis distributes readymade organic products directly onto the market for consumption, but also raw materials that are intended for food industries that prepare organic products.
At the same time, Alapis maintains an extensive network of organic product stores in Attica, 14 privately owned and 2 independent, part of the franchising chain ‘Viologikos Kiklos’, which are certified by the approved Certification Body ‘DIO’.
The products it sells are:
Fresh products (meat, cold cuts, vegetables, fruit, eggs)
Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, butter)
Standardised products (baked goods, juices, cereals, wheat, pulses, coffee, sweets, spices, spirits, cooking oils)
Nutritional supplements Cosmetics Books
Faithful to its principles of reliability, quality and customer satisfaction, Alapis invests and is active in organic agriculture and livestock farming, aiming at the essential benefits of organic production, which are:
nutritional safety with a complete food chain
quality of life and nutrition, within a balanced environment
rural economy
livestock welfare
At Alapis we are aware that, even though the organic product sector is new to Greece, considering the public’s growing concern for health nutrition issues, it is a sector which will grow rapidly in the near future. Our goal is to establish our leading market position by providing high quality products and services. In order to achieve this goal, we implement strict controls throughout all the production stages as well as enhance the available product range with brand-name organic products as well as extensive product lines of existing products.
