DIAMONDS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY 2016

editorial

By Spyros Ktenas We Greeks create, produce value, export and transport goods around the planet

6 Diamonds

The key message in the recent (23-24 May, 2016) Congress of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) was: “Producing value. Exporting everywhere.

Creating jobs” and it was not just a figure of speech, as Greece - in spite of the dramatic losses as a result of the crisis - enjoys a strong industrial activity linked with a steadily growing tourist industry and a shipping industry which is (on a national level) ranked in the top of the world.

However, let us see some data: ● The value generated by the industry: 15.6% of Gross Value Added (20.1 billion euros), directly, even during the crisis; 20.1% (9.8 billion euros) of the country’s operating surplus (“gross profit”). Up to 90.4% of exported goods are industrial products (24.6 billion euros). Almost half of the country’s exports, or 42.4%, including tourism, shipping, transport, etc., come from the industrial sector. ● Industrial enterprises are the mainstay of government revenue at 49.7% of the total corporate income tax. The industrial sector employs 1,000,000 workers, of which 386,000 are directly employed (9.8% of the country’s total workforce) and 627,000 indirectly. This means that one in four workers in Greece are employed in industrial and related activities. ● The industrial sector’s performance is taking place in an environment that is burdened by a 10% higher cost for levies and taxes compared to OECD countries and up to 30% more real energy cost than competitors - twice as expensive business loan interest rates than the euro zone. At the same time, the bureaucracy significantly weighs down on production, such as for instance the more than twice time required to administer justice in Greece compared to the European Union, or the fact that 50% of the country’s surface is unregistered in terms of land use. All of these make reforms an imperative condition for competitiveness. ● Greeks own 4,500 ships, accounting for 19.7% of the world tonnage and 49.96% of the European fleet. ● Greece attracts some 26 million foreign visitors annually, generating a value for the country that accounts for 20% of GDP. Greece’s loan agreement with international creditors created significant losses, but largely restored competitiveness, with the country having emerged as a champion of fiscal adjustment and labor market adaptation. Today, the main obstacles to economic activity faced by businesses are lack of financing, the scourge of red tape and the stifling regulatory and fiscal framework. However, the course so far has been encouraging and if structural reforms are carried through, Greece would be in a position to attract the required foreign investments.

The State must be a real ally to production, removing disincentives and rigidities that are inherent in the county’s laws. Everyone has now realized that the old growth model, based on overborrowing, consumption and recycling our money, has led to a deadlock and now belongs to the past. It also understood that it is now imperative to turn to the productive economy and to internationally marketable products that have real value and can return healthy and sustainable growth and contribute to reducing unemployment.

Alternate Minister of Economy Development & Tourism

Elena Kountoura

Solid prospects for further growth in the tourism sector

“The Greek tourism market presents many opportunities and can become Apostolos Vakakis a leading sector for growth in the years to come“

Greece is entering a new era of optimism and growth following the successful deal that our Prime Mr. Minister Alexis Tsipras concluded for the country’s benefit. The government’s efforts have set the pace to restart the Greek economy and concentrate on establishing a stable environment for business activity growth, new investments and employment opportunities.

In this new environment, the tourism sector holds a central position. With its strong performance in recent years, and its overall contribution to 20% of the GDP and to the employment, tourism is of high governmental priority in our national development strategy for the next years.

Having applied intense actions that led to record-breaking results in our tourism’s basic figures in 2015, an increase of about 7% in international arrivals and tourism revenue which was significantly higher than the global tourism’s average growth, we are now fully implementing our national tourism policy, which focuses on continuously enriching and empowering our highly distinctive tourist product.

We have made significant steps. Through this robust policy, we extended the official tourist season, and develop and promote theme tourism products and services across the country, introduced new Greek destinations, reached out to new markets such as the Middle East and China, and established new direct flights from European but also long-haul markets. We strengthened our presence in all major International Tourism Fairs and Exhibitions and in collaboration with all 13 Greek Regions as well as the private sector we promote Greece abroad to all target- markets as a unique twelvemonth destination.

At the same time, we have worked on creating a new friendly environment that

will promote new business activity in the tourism sector, geared towards high quality products and services.

The new development law our government introduced, offers stability and strong opportunities for new investments for integrated tourism resorts, new hotels of 3 stars and above, large-scale projects for hotel expansion and modernization, and the reopening of hotels in high categories that had previously seized their operation, as well as new theme infrastructure.

Also, through the National Strategic Reference Framework for the period 2014-2020 the current program with an increased total budget of 90 million euro subsidizes SME’s in the tourism sector to upgrade their infrastructure and services, while another program will soon be launched to boost the creation of new tourism businesses.

Greece is now a very competitive European destination, and a very attractive field for tourism investment. The Greek tourism market presents many opportunities and can become a leading sector for growth in the years to come.

I wholeheartedly congratulate the significant effort the private sector has made in all previous years and at the most difficult times to maintain strong performance and offer high quality products and services, as this edition highlights.

Through our policy, we are working together to face common challenges and create solid prospects for further development. The Greek tourism business will have a significant role in our targeted national effort to create new and additional sources of income for our local and national economy.

Towards a business-friendly Greek economy

14 Diamonds

It should go without saying that, if we are serious about helping Greece return to a path of growth and job creation, our main focus must be placed on improving the business climate and attracting private investment.

In order to achieve this, one fundamental condition needs to be met: Our country must regain its credibility after a year and a half of unprecedented uncertainty which caused the economy to slide back into recession after having returned to positive growth rates in 2014.

While the aforementioned prerequisite is arguably the most fundamental, it is not the only one.

First of all, it is imperative that the economy’s liquidity levels are restored. This has to do primarily with the return of financial market confidence which will allow the banking sector to function smoothly after having gone through a challenging period.

Additional tools for funding businesses are also needed, such as the Institution for Growth in Greece which was established in 2014.

A stable tax system is another important requirement, so that investors are not faced with the uncertainty of having the rules of

the game suddenly changed.

Furthermore, promoting a more businessfriendly environment is critical. This requires simplifying bureaucratic processes related to starting and running a business. The previous government had taken important steps towards this direction, as demonstrated by the country’s steep rise in the ‘Doing Business’ rankings. The goal should be to build upon this progress without further delays.

Finally, initiatives that attract and leverage private investment must be pursued, such as public–private partnerships. This allows for the implementation of large-scale projects that upgrade the country’s infrastructure and consequently enhance its competitiveness by making effective use of private sector funds and know-how.

It is a commonly acknowledged fact that Greece has a broad range of competitive advantages that hold the potential to contribute towards increased productivity and economic expansion. Policy-makers need to prioritize the necessary interventions that will help unlock this potential and propel the Greek economy into an era of strong, sustainable growth.

President of The Panhellenic Exporters Association

Mrs. Christina Sakellaridis Long night’s journey into light

In Eugene O’ Neill’s magnum opus titled “Long day’s journey into the night” the readers follow a drama in four acts. In Greece’s case people across the globe watched a dramatic recession unfold as long economic night for the past 8 years.

It strikes me as a poetic license that on the same day, just a year ago (June 29th of 2015) capital controls were imposed on the Greek economy, enterprises and citizens.

And tonight we are celebrating the Greek Diamonds of the economy.

“Now is the ultimate chance for Greece to shine, like Apostolos Vakakis a diamond” Turnover 454.276.468

After all, like in any tragedy, especially of Greek origin, at the end there is always the light of catharsis. And what shines brighter than diamonds.

Someone said that “diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled stress exceptionally well”. That is exactly the case of today’s event. To bring out those characteristics of Greek entrepreneurship that overcome difficulties, barriers and adversity, will shining across the globe.

In 2015, despite the recession, in spite of the capital controls, under the heavy cloak of uncertainty, Greek exports (excluding fuels) hit an historic record of 17,9 billion euros after an increase of about 8%. In total, Greek exports of goods stayed just under 26 billion euros, restraining recession, sav-

ing thousands of jobs and most of all keeping the torch burning, while signalling the way out of the crisis.

International organizations, such as the EU Commission and the OECD, expect a further increase in 2016 and a real boost in 2017.

What Greek entrepreneurs expect are stability and security in order to fulfil their full capacities.

We, the Panhellenic Exporters Association, strongly believe that now is the ultimate chance for Greece to shine, like a diamond.

And we can do so, by developing a lasting T.I.E. with our future, meaning the we move forward in 3 key Axes: Trust, Investments, Exports (T.I.E).

These past 8 years, were extremely hard for most of Greeks and especially Greek SMEs. While celebrating the Greek Diamonds, I ask you to also consider those that didn’t cope with the crisis. The thousands of companies that went out of business, the 1,5 million unemployed.

We have a duty towards them to lead the way in a better future, to create wealth all along again. Like the English dramatist John Webster once said: “Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust”.

“We cover up to 95% of the possible Apostolos Vakakis loss” Turnover 454.276.468

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 96.956.097

In an era of globalization and globalized markets, Greece is a country that should be envied mainly for its long history and its strategic location in southeastern Europe.

Forming crossroads between Europe, Asia, and Africa could be extremely beneficial for Greece’s economic environment.

Nevertheless, the recent financial crisis has led Greece to be susceptible and vulnerable to external threats. The global depression has led to weaknesses in almost all enterprises, which are not able to deal with their financial obligations and which, consequently, are affecting the broad financial situation of Greek exporting companies.

Greek exporters seek to respond to the current world trade competition, but the consequences of the sovereign debt of our country causes them distress and financial suffering. The freefall of profit margins should be therefore immediately dealt with.

It is clear that during an economic downturn, every economic entity has to deal with new situations that may possibly be created. It is undisputable that aiding and supporting our country’s exporters has an emphatic role in such difficult financial periods, as it could further contribute to the development of our country’s economy.

At this point, I would like to attribute importance to the Export Credit Insurance Organization (ECIO).

The Organization was launched back in 1988 and is a non-profit private entity, monitored by the Ministry of Economy, Infrastructure, Shipping and Tourism. The main target of ECIO is to have a supportive and consulting role, so that Greek exporters feel confident about fast, efficient and profitable insurance policies with regard to

export credit. To secure exports, we are supporting Greek exporters in every achievable way.

The main role of ECIO is to protect the Greek exporter from his customer’s possible insolvency. Therefore, we cover up to 95% of the possible loss. What is more, ECIO could help exporting entities to handling their liquidity problems. Every exporter can take advantage of the insurance contract, by using it as a collateral to our associated banks. This way of financing offers 80% coverage of insured invoices, and by ensuring deposits of equivalent amounts at all banks, we offer a solution to the liquidity discrepancies of the banking sector in our country.

It has to be clarified that ECIO treats equally small, medium and large enterprises, serving as a protection shield against commercial and political dangers, for all exporters.

Commercial risks that we deal with are among others insolvency (bankruptcy), protracted default of the payment, withdrawal or refusal by a buyer. Furthermore, political risks that we deal with are breach of contract, moratorium, transfer risks and invalidation of import and export licenses.

ECIO highly supports SME’s (Small and Medium Enterprises), as it offers insurance programs for short-term export credits. This option gives an exporter the ability to secure a specific shipment (one unique shipment). Consequently, that offers the ability and support to all Greek producers to turn to the global markets. By providing Greek exporters with insurance and credit, we are making huge steps towards Greece’s financial growth through export orientation.

President of the Federation of Industries of Northern Greece

Athanasios Savvakis “Development with internationally marketable products”

“ It is a pressing need for government policy to place priority on leveraging the manufacturing sector of the Apostolos Vakakis economy as Turnover 454.276.468 well as on the PROFITproductive BEFORE TAXES 96.956.097 reconstruction of Greece“

20 Diamonds

The vicious circle of crisis is mainly the result of the de-industrialization, which is reflected on the falling contribution of the manufacturing sector GNP figures in Greece as a whole and in Northern Greece in particular over the last thirty years.

This de-industrialisation stems from the distorted production model adopted by our country, a supposed developmental model, which has never been based on any specific industrial policy, but little more than piecemeal measures.

For Greece, due it’s characteristics, the existence of a strong manufacturing sector is a sine qua non for balanced growth, social cohesion and exit from the crisis. What measures has the Greek State planned in order to implement the new European policy on increasing the role of manufacturing? A rhetoric question. However, it should not inhibit us from setting the goal of increasing Greek industry’s contribution from today’s 9% to 12% by 2020.

To achieve that, we need a national industrial policy which will play a crucial part in Greek companies’ adapting to the new realities of international competition. This new realistic industrial policy which must 1. encourage the necessary adjustments to be immediately adopted by domestic companies, thus making them more internationally-focussed and competitive, and 2. improve the general economic climate

in which these companies operate.

Necessary adjustments, more emphasis on internationalization, with the production of ‘internationally marketable products’, improvement in the general economic climate...

For the Federation of Industries of Northern Greece, it is a pressing need for government policy to place priority on leveraging the manufacturing sector of the economy as well as on the productive reconstruction of Greece.

How is this going to happen?

The increase in taxes that await Greece as part of the agreement with our creditors, including the tax increase for healthy and law-abiding businesses, the increase in the tax advance and the imposing of additional tax on their profits, together with the increase in employers’ contributions, constitutes unprecedented recessional aggression towards private ventures, which will inevitably lead to the closing of many more companies in Greece.

Rather than cutting back on the wasteful, counter-productive and extremely bureaucratic state, the Government is actually sustains an unefficient public sector. And it is for this reason that it has imposed tough tax measures on law-abiding citizens and businesses, when emphasis should be placed on measures to stop tax evasion and tax avoidance, which daily erode competitive and healthy companies.

Dimitris Mathios

Businesses cannot afford another lack of illiquidity with the “antidote” of a fictitious surplus

“Can the economy withstand to go through another year like 2015 again?

Apostolos Vakakis Certainly not “ Turnover 454.276.468

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 96.956.097

22 Diamonds

Are we going forward or backward with regard to the economy? The question has already been raised. And it was indeed a justified one some time ago when ambiguities and gaps in the negotiation cycle [with international creditors], the assessment and the new loan agreement still prevailed.

Sadly, these gaps are still visible. These are especially tough conditions in a business environment that is constantly tested from 2009 onwards.

Can the economy withstand to go through another year like 2015 again? Certainly not.

Just the idea that 2015 conditions may return, is terrifying, since if it happened everything would collapse.

The recession will become a tsunami that will sweep everything: from production to the banking system’s last drop of strength.

It is there that everything will end, as businesses cannot afford another lack of illiquidity with the “antidote” of a fictitious surplus.

The surplus, bare as it is, and with a mount of the state’s arrears to the private sector, can overturn any amount of optimism.

But the “tsunami” will not only eliminate the market and businesses with the recessionary waves that will follow. It would also shake the foundations of all the pillars of the economy, and first of all of the banking system.

Banks, instead of being the sole financing tool for growth, will be converted into handicapped organizations requiring colossal donations from the capital market.

A chain reaction by fiscal conditions would

result to unpredictable consequences for the obligations of the state.

In such circumstances, arrears will massively grow and the State will be in a state of emergency.

This an extremely pessimistic scenario, but is also the only visible one.

The outcome of Greece’s negotiation with international creditors, without causing any optimism, is still interpreted from two-sided perspective: the perspective of the creditors and the perspective of the government, combined with the positions and red lines it puts forward.

Let us not forget that the assessment (generally as a responsibility) has a long way to go, while the country’s commitment on measures valued at 3.6 billion euros, even for 2018, in conjunction with a budget gap of 5.4 billion euros, does not anticipate any circumstances to allow for growth, insofar as the surplus is based on state debts of 7.0 billion euros to businesses.

From the perspective of the government, even though the element of optimism is dominant, at the same time some troubling questions are raised.

These questions relate to both the final contribution an agreement would have to growth and to reversing the current recessionary climate.

And this is clearly due to the intense political implications that the government attributed to the negotiation. It is up to us turn things around. Can we realize that?

President of Greek International Business Association

Dr Kyriakos Loufakis “Greece needs to find its place and strengthen its position in the Global Value Chains (GVCs)”

Strengthening openness to international trade and domestic competitiveness has never been more important. Because exporting products means exposure to greater competition, this is where the competitiveness agenda kicks in. This is especially relevant for smaller countries, with fewer than 10 mil. people, since rarely has any nation reached high-income status, if exports accounted for less than 50% of its GDP.

The global landscape continues to evolve.

The production of parts and components, which once took place in a single production unit, today is dispersed worldwide. The growth of Global Value Chains (GVCs) has made economies to become more interconnected, increasingly specialized in the specific activities where they are skilled and enjoy competitive advantages. More companies from developing countries are today joining the game, making up close to 40% of international trade turnover.

When integrating through GVCs, one country develops access to networks, global markets, capital knowledge and technology, which are crucial for economic development. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises play a significant role to niche areas of GVCs and can contribute directly to larger firms’ exports.

It is crucial for Greece to find its place and strengthen its position in the global value chain, reaping the benefits of its knowledge assets – its highly skilled and educated workforce (scientists and engineers) and its geographical position, as a business hub connecting East and West.

Moreover, this is a great opportunity for the Greek SMEs, the backbone of our economy, to enforce contracts with Multinational companies and independent suppliers, gaining in openness, enhanced growth, innovation and job creation.

“The Food and Beverages Industry is committed to… growth”

In a turbulent political and socioeconomic environment, the Greek Food and Drinks Industry resists and continues being a dynamic, competitive and extrovert sector.

Today, our Industry is ranked first in the transformation Industry representing 25% of the industrial production in terms of value, employing 30,8% of the total work force in the processing field, whilst it has a strong investing and commercial activity in Greece, Europe and the U.S.A.

“Innovation, quality and consistency are the key Apostolos Vakakis elements Turnover to success“ 454.276.468

The role of the Greek Food & Drinks Industry is to offer consumers branded products of high quality, safe and innovative, at the best possible price. At the same time, SEVT supports and promotes the sector’s extroversion aiming to highlight the quality and the uniqueness of the Greek branded products.

Today, more than ever and despite all adversities, combined with a renewed and qualitative agricultural production, the specialized know-how and the reasonable cost in Greece, the Food and Beverages Industry makes even bigger steps in regards to innovation, producing exceptionally competitive products, mainly in the fast growing categories like Olive Oil, Fruits & Vegetables, Diary products, Traditional Spirits, honey e.t.c Therefore extroversion has come to be a

crucial & successful factor for the growth of the Greek industry with the exports of the sector reaching 3,5 billion euros and representing 22% of the total Greek exports (excluding petroleum products). These exports have been steadily increasing year after year, even during the crisis, showcasing the dynamic of our sector.

We believe that 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 even in the foreign markets.

Therefore, it is essential to be competitive and promote the extroverted and productive image of Greece.

We, in the Greek Food Industry, have a common goal, to find the way out of the crisis and back to growth. This requires the implementation of a new development model, based on the improvement of competitiveness, the reinforcement of extroversion, the promotion of research & innovation and the attraction of new investments. A serious industrial policy for the food industry will be the starting point. We are confident that we will overcome obstacles and return back to growth. Through hard work, commitment and passion, we will continue to satisfy our consumers offering safe products of top quality both in Greece and abroad.

It is time to abolish the rebate and the clawback

“We hope that the Ministry of Health will honour its commitment, that upon the disbursement Apostolos Vakakis of funds, Turnover 454.276.468 the debts owed PROFIT BEFORE TAXES to suppliers 96.956.097 will be paid”

28 Diamonds

The completion of the review completes another chapter in the policies mandated by the bailout agreement, while the economic environment remains suffocated and much needed economic growth is once more delayed. The pharmaceutical industry seriously doubts the government’s ‘optimism’ that there will be positive developments in the matter of the debt and that the investment law and the country’s new production model will lead to economic growth.

This is because throughout the protracted crisis in the country, our industry has been the scapegoat for mismanagement in the health sector, and has been asked to shoulder burdens out of all proportion to what it should. However, at the same time it was implementing anti-growth policies, which have significantly hurt the viability of the Greek pharmaceutical industry, the government claimed that the industry was one of the pillars of growth. ‘Emergency measures’, such as the rebate and clawback, were made permanent, while pharmaceutical expenditure sank to unprecedented levels, without any kind of rationalisation of other expenditures, which have a more significant impact.

In addition, the hospital clawback was implemented this year; yet another unsustainable and unfair measure, since companies with no influence over the level of hospitals’ pharmaceutical expenditure are called on to finance the excesses, regardless of the amount.

Since the government ‘foresees’ an improvement in finances and the economic climate, it is time to review, first of all, the rebate and clawback measures. We should aim to have them abolished as soon as possible, since they are the main causes of the

economic strangulation of pharmaceutical companies, especially those that are Greek.

It is characteristic that one out of every four drugs provided by pharmaceutical companies to the healthcare system is free, according to the data of the Hellenic Association of Pharmaceutical Companies (SFEE).

The pharmaceutical coverage of uninsured citizens and refugees also remains a crucial matter. The government was right to simplify medical coverage of these vulnerable social groups, since unhindered access to healthcare is a fundamental right. However, they have not earmarked any special funds, nor did they increase public pharmaceutical spending, which remains capped at the ‘red line’ of 1.945 billion euro. At the same time, the migrant/refugee crisis has increased demand to unforeseen levels, especially for basic drugs and vaccines, further complicating the situation.

As regards vaccines, we, the pharmaceutical companies, are not going to stop asking the obvious, namely that vaccines are exempted from pharmaceutical spending.

The vaccines appropriation must be independent, as with all countries in the world, based on the national vaccination programme. We remind you that vaccinations are prevention rather than treatment. Thus, they must be included in the social welfare policies of every country.

Finally, we must raise the issue of overdue debts, which, for the year 2015, amount to 1.2 billion euro. In combination with the lack of liquidity and the capital controls, the suffocation of the market has reached explosive proportions. We hope that the Ministry of Health will honour its commitment, that upon the disbursement of funds, the debts owed to suppliers will be paid.

President of American – Hellenic Chamber of Commerce

Simos Anastasopoulos The Diamonds pave the path to Growth

As we have reached an agreement with our lenders to extend the bailout package and to proceed with a package of debt measures to make Greece’s debts sustainable in the future, a window of opportunity appears for the prospects of our economy. The window however is narrow and the major issue about growth prospects remains unanswered.

“Foreign direct investment is the major issue and the only way out in the effort to return our economy to growth”

30 Diamonds

The measures that our government has to implement after a very long period of inactivity and prolonged negotiations are very heavy for business and society and are certain to exacerbate the challenges of an economy that has returned to recession since the third quarter of 2015.

The expected debt relief by itself will not produce growth. Along with the positive review of the program it will restore some confidence in the markets and allow the ECB to ease the credit terms of the Greek banks, but this is not enough to persuade the international community to invest in Greece.

Foreign direct investment is the major issue and the only way out in the effort to return our economy to growth and structural reforms is the only way for Greece to regain its credibility and competitiveness and persuade foreign capital that our country is a business friendly and welcoming investment destination.

If we proceed now with the necessary structural reforms we might be able to counterbalance the recessive effects of the fiscal measures and reverse the course of the economy and return to growth in the last quarter of 2016.

I could not stress more the urgency and necessity to implement the reforms that will restore the competitiveness of our economy as the only means to attract foreign investment and to create positive prospects for the course of our country.

The private sector can contribute significantly in the effort to create wealth for the country and society and restore confidence in the country’s economic prospects by projecting the endurance and credibility of the companies that remain competitive and profitable.

By promoting these companies we maintain the international interest and provide the leading examples of success and corporate social responsibility to our youth and prospective entrepreneurs.

For these reasons congratulations are due to the Diamonds of the Greek Economy for their continuing effort and support in advertising the best Business examples in Greece today and at the same time encouraging the efforts of local entrepreneurship.

For seven years now, Greece has been living the ugly face of recession and has “caught a breath” with regard to development only for a short time during 2014. In the last two years, economy went through the dire straits of two elections and one referendum, faced the risk of a Grexit and was tested by the banking holiday. Today the country has even been put under pressure by capital controls and defaulting loans. At the same time economy is being once more experiencing a heavy anti-growth “blow” with the adoption of the new taxation bill, the reform of insurance system and the raise of indirect taxes, which is the utmost unfair measure for the whole society.

The business world is struggling, facing more delays with payments, exports loosing their dynamic, consumption sinking from month to month and outlook indicators recording negative numbers.

The only “oasis” for the survival of the business community on the “hot field” of economy are the new NSRF, which is though unlocking its fields slowly, the new development law, which is pending to be adopted by the parliament, the first “suspicion” of lending by the banks and the funding programmes of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Juncker’s investment package, European Investment Bank, European Strategic Investment Fund and the Investment and Development Bank (DEG), a subsidiary of the German KfW. The market needs all disincentives to be removed. It needs a stable and investmentfriendly environment as well as incentives that will bring new foreign investments and will mobilise capitals in the country. The Greek entrepreneur wants to invest but stays out of the investment field also due to the negative market psychology. As psychology is maybe

the most decisive driving force for any investment and risk-taking, the more the psychology remains devastated through the enforcement of new measures in form of memoranda the more it will act as a constraint on entrepreneurship.

The Greek-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry has in spite of the negative economic environment all these years, never lost its strength and willingness to support the Greek entrepreneur in his efforts to sustain his presence on the market and the bolder ones to develop by seeking opportunities in a gloomy environment.

The Chamber supports extrovert actions by creating channels of communication and development routes to the German market, the biggest European economy and one of the most powerful commercial partners of Greece.

Among other initiatives, the Greek-German Chamber stands out for the mediation for more than 2.500 Greek companies willing to participate in big international trade fairs in Germany, the organisation of Β2Β meetings between German and Greek companies, the provision of know-how in various sectors such as tourism, self-government, farming and food as well as for establishing the institution of dual education.

Furthermore, the Chamber in cooperation with 130 bilateral German Chambers operating in 90 countries worldwide, ensures opportunities for extrovert entrepreneurs looking “ahead” and has organised a particularly flexible mechanism for extrajudicial remedy of commercial disputes, is active in different sectors through the organisation of special working groups and finally firmly insists on well coordinated actions to support entrepreneurship in the fields of innovation and food.

Greece has to become more ‘Chinese friendly’

China’s massive project “One Belt, One Road” has enormous positive implications for Greece, and Apostolos Vakakis Europe.

Turnover 454.276.468

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 96.956.097

Today China is busy restoring the Silk Road to its former prestige. The One Belt One Road (OBOR) project entails more than $140 billion in investment, which aims to connect more than 20 countries through the construction of new maritime and land infrastructure corridors between China and Europe.

A recent Carnegie -Tsinghua study asks whether this ancient cultural bridge might now be able to positively impact the eurozone, stimulating a Greek economic recovery.

Despite the collapse of international investment, China has continued to demonstrate that it has not given up on Greece. Indeed, Greece represents for China something that has been defined by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal as one of its most successful foreign trade initiatives.

Since China’s economic reform starting in 1978, each Chinese leader has followed the tradition of promoting his own signature governing slogan. Deng Xiaoping is remembered for the concept of “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics,” President Jian Zeming is known for his nebulous governing “Theory of the Three Represents,” and President Hu Jintao for his ambition to achieve a “Harmonious Society.” Following their footsteps, President Xi Jinping is extensively promoting his own signature slogan: the “Chinese Dream.”

China’s “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR), which was first proposed in September 2013, and combines the twin initiatives of the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, is a grand concept that envisages China girdling the globe. Essentially, it is a plan for a China-built land and sea transportation artery to link production centres in China with markets and natural resource centres around the world. At the same time it will harness China’s massive, but hitherto idle, economic, manpower and technological reserves and get much-

needed returns on investment. The initiative blends geopolitical and diplomatic objectives and has a strong domestic agenda.

The latter was highlighted when an official of China’s Ministry of Commerce told Caijing magazine in May 2014 that the “new 30 years” will put today’s China on the threshold of a third era comparable to those begun by Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.

The approximately $1.4 trillion project potentially covers 55% of the world GNP, 70% of the global population, and 75% of the earth’s known energy reserves. China also claims to be willing to make a huge financial commitment in infrastructure financing and, though some multilateral and bilateral pledges may overlap, it is still estimated to exceed $300 billion. The initiative has the potential to bend borders and alter geostrategic dynamics and the status quo in China’s extended neighborhood. Its completion is planned to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China in 2049.

Sino-Greek relations initially caught the attention of the EU because of China’s desire to pursue an expanded investment policy and to play a role during the Greek economic crisis.

The fact is that China is now a major player for Greece. But Greece has to become more ‘Chinese friendly’ not only in terms of welcoming Chinese investments, but rather in terms of having one policy agreed, less bureaucracy, better control of the public sector, less communication confusion, etc.

I salute the visit of the Greek Prime Minister in China! I was invited and have accompanied three Greek Prime Ministers: Mr Simitis, Mr Karamanlis and Mr Samaras, and now Mr Tsipras.

I hope the Chinese Dream comes true in Greece! As the Chinese say, “I hope to have more time to write you less!”

The French Hellenic Chamber of Industry and Commerce is proud to be partner again with Diamonds of the Greek Economy 2016.

France is a strong and ancient friend of Greece, and nothing exemplifies it better than our organisation, which was created in 1885, making it the first bilateral chamber in this country. Economic relations have always played a key role in our friendship, and companies are key players, contributing every day, at their level, to reinforce and enrich this partnership.

Throughout the last difficult years, this has been especially true. Business relations have remained strong, and even been reinforced, in industries such as health, infrastructures, tourism, services, and others.

There are 120 French companies in Greece, employing 14,000 people.

These companies still believe that Greece is a country of opportunities, with strong potential for development. It is a belief that was strongly emphasized by none other than the President of France, Mr. Hollande, when he came to visit in October 2015, and signed with the Greek Prime Minister a “Partnership for the Strategic Development of Greece”.

As a Chamber, the mission of which is to look for these opportunities and help companies seize them, we are well aware of the importance of a vibrant business environment for the well-being of Greece. This is why events such as Diamonds of the Greek Economy matter so much. We know, from

direct experience, that there are untapped reserves of energy, passion and entrepreneurship in Greece. French companies can attest to that, either through their presence locally, or the successful relations they have built with local partners.

Diamonds of the Greek Economy acknowledges these strengths, and shows to the world that there is so much more to Greece than crisis, memorandums, and neverending negotiations. This is a valuable, and indispensable service they render.

But as well, Diamonds of the Greek Economy allows the Greek business world to expose the challenges it faces to key policymakers. At a time when difficult economic decisions are being made, this is crucial.

Once again, we see that to confront the difficult issues of public finances balancing, and of reforming the economy, the road that has been privileged is that of more taxation now, and structural reforms later. This will weigh on consumption, weaken the economy and affect negatively businesses.

It is my sincere hope that the discussions during this event will allow fruitful exchanges, that will encourage structural reforms to make Greece a more dynamic and productive economy, with a fiscal, legal and institutional environment welcoming to businesses, small and big, Greek and foreign.

Congratulations to the organizers of Diamonds of the Greek Economy for making this dialogue possible!

”Greece must take all appropriate measures that will enable her to participate Apostolos Vakakis actively in the Turnover new energy 454.276.468 direction PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 96.956.097 for Europe”

40 Diamonds

The Greek Economy is characterized by very high energy costs. The cost of energy, both electricity and gas, for the Greek industry is significantly higher than the European average, fact which is consistently recognized by the Greek authorities and the European Commission.

Greece must take all appropriate measures that will enable her to participate actively in the new energy direction for Europe which is to create a true single energy market, while promoting both environmental objectives and aid targets, specific and tangible measures for industry, in particular for the energy intensive.

We fully support the liberalization of the natural gas and electricity markets in Greece. The implementation of transitional measures towards this objective should not however introduce new distortions, but rather eliminate existing. Any measures adopted should take into account their impact on the real economy and the energy intensive users in particular.

Electricity Market: The liberalization and restructuring of the Greek electricity market towards the EU Target Model should include simultaneous implementation (within a specific time framework) of the following measures: Bilateral contracts with suppliers that can take into account the specific characteristics of the customer and his consumption profile A quota of the cross-border capacity to be allocated to industry for direct imports, outside the mandatory pool Creation of forward, intraday and balancing markets Abolition of the mandatory pool market Increase of Greece’s international interconnections, especially with Italy. Access to Central Europe’s developed markets is a guarantee for a smooth operation of the Greek market.

A Flexibility market-based Remuneration Mechanism should be implemented for a predefined very limited timeframe, upon an impact assessment plan, that should not

result in guaranteed returns for electricity generators, thus representing another source that distorts competition.

Natural Gas Market: We expect that liberalization will bring more suppliers and liquidity in the market, and as a result, lower prices for the benefit of the end consumer in the long run. Today however gas prices for industry are among the highest in EU. To enhance competition to the benefit of the consumers: The 5,4 €/MWh excise duty (the highest in the EU) must be significantly reduced and a relief for energy intensive industries introduced, Gas quantities auctioned in DEPA’s gas release scheme should be doubled to increase liquidity, The 4€/MWh provisional distribution tariff introduced in August 2015 without any impact assessment should be abolished and new cost effective tariffs implemented that take into account real costs and the customer’s consumption profile.

These measures are urgently needed not only to guarantee compliance with the EU target model but, most importantly, to provide the necessary environment and market signals across the economy. A competitive and open energy market is a pre-requisite to stimulate growth in dynamic and exportoriented industries and manufacturing sectors.

Individual countries are beginning to realize what has been our conviction all along: one may not address the internet era, with solutions from the non-internet era; technology, through internet platforms, is the only enabler for online protection and compliance.

As far as B2B GAMING SERVICES is concerned, we are growing from providing market “oxygen” to global and local online betting and gaming “business to consumer” operators, enabling them to pursue their business, accommodating the different regulation, legislation and taxation frameworks in Europe and the world.

In Greece, B2B GAMING SERVICES is the Company which continues to grow, in the midst of capital controls and other major turbulence factors for national and multinational companies.

We believe that our case is a story of attitude, technology and innovation, the three pillars of B2B GAMING SERVICES strategy, which “earns its leadership every day” and “against all odds”. We believe that our greatest strength is persistence to

grow our business by growing our clients’ business.

The story of our company is a story of determination and focus on the principle that technology is the only enabler for entertainment, compliance and social responsibility for the web. As much as this is brightly apparent in other industries, online betting and gaming is still dominated by myths and victimized with suspicion.

Through our growth, we seek to share and evangelize positive change, as we all have to accept our responsibility for the future.

Especially for Greece, my native country, which needs us to exceed ourselves in order to support its efforts.

As far as online betting and gaming is concerned, our story, is not a story about overriding competition; it’s about working together.

The future, is ALWAYS common.

The Pharmaceutical market and Pharmacies

”Medicines: Another consumer product on the shelves of supermarkets, Apostolos Vakakis or a health tool in the hands of specialists?”

48 Diamonds

The first 216 drugs are already on the shelves of Greek supermarkets, and this is only the beginning of a new era.

Large retailers in the western world are fighting hard to expand the assortment of merchandise they trade to the wider possible range. As a result, the elimination of neighborhood stores is already taking place and the integration of small and specialized stores in major retail chains has begun.

Experts are analyzing the huge and devastating effects on public health of the irrational use of drugs sold. They are also evaluating the economic impact that derives from the misuse of drugs, on insurance institutions of the western world. Unfortunately, experts are not taken into account by the various organizations (EC, ECB, IMF, ESM) that submit their proposals to local governments.

Local governments have a secondary role in decision-making and in opposing the transatlantic giants that have already initiated trade agreements, such as the ‘Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership’ (TTIP) or the CETA , TiSA and the TPP. The capacity of local governments and organizations to regulate is gradually decreasing whereas the capacity of transnational corporations to act with impunity is rising.

The elimination of “unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles” and the prevalence of “facilitations” is leading to the deregulation of the market. Large multinational groups are aiming for greater profits and uncontrolled actions.

This prospect will also affect the pharmaceutical market in Europe and of course in

Greece. The consequences will be much more noticeable in small pharmaceutical firms, health care providers and pharmacies.

The Greek pharmacies have already suffered a blow to their business and this will get worse as a new category of drugs is created in order to be sold in the super markets. This new category are the “Generally Supplied Drugs“.

The other major change in the pharmaceutical market in the coming period is the continuous decline in the percentage of traditional “per os“ medicines, due to the increasing use of specialized medicines for the treatment of severe diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, rare diseases.

The nature of these medicines and the complexity of treatments require special conditions for the transportation and use of these medicines. The goal is clear: patients should be able to have the right drug at the right dose at the right time.

IMS Health foresees that in 2018, over 90% of the pharmaceutical market in Europe, will be determined by specialized drugs, and that there will be many programs that would aim to reduce the costs of primary care expenditure in order to save resources for the use of new innovative therapies.

The market evolves and traditional players have to adjust on time to the new environment in order to continue having an important role. Cooperatives of pharmacists are the appropriate organizations that can help traditional pharmacies to develop and adapt to the new role a pharmacist will have to serve in the health market of the future.

50 Diamonds

Color in Greek is synonym with coatings (chroma), and the Greek Coatings Industry is proud to have real economic Diamonds amongst its members that form the Hellenic Coatings Association (HCA).

HCA was founded in 1960 by the founders of paints industry in Greece developing and advancing in a parallel route to the significant growth experienced by the industry.

HCA is a full member of CEPE the European Federation of Manufacturers of Paints and Inks and HACI the Hellenic Association of Chemical Industries.

The production of paints in a large scale basis began with the industrial revolution and was linked to the other industrial sectors.

The advancement of technology and the dissemination of relevant applications created great demand for paints - varnishes for buildings, ships, machinery, furniture, etc.

Therefore, the coating technologies are categorised according to their intended use in construction, marine, automotive repair, furniture, inks, industrial and more.

In Greece there are companies active in many of these sectors, but the area in which they focus extensively is that of decorative paints. This is explained by the fact of intense building activity of the years prior to 2009. Today several members have expanded their activities to the production of energy saving ETICS (external thermal insulation composite systems). The paint companies place in the market certified

eco-labeled products (EU Ecolabel), being the first industrial sector in number of certified products in Greece.

The main characteristic of the sector is that almost all businesses are independent family owned enterprises while firms of multinational subsidiaries are limited. During the years of economic crisis after 2009, the industry as a whole lost 40% of its business, but companies have shown remarkable resilience by taking appropriate measures to reduce costs and enhance exports.

Exports now account for 10% of their business. Countries destinations of products are the Balkan countries, former East and the Middle East. Imports in building colors represent only 5% of the market. Greek companies operate more than 20 factories in the country, 5 factories abroad and have more than 25 commercial subsidiary companies in various locations in the world.

The market size for coatings in Greece is estimated to be 258 Million Euros, of which 190 million are architectural paints. The major trends that drive paint companies in Greece is the booming tourism business which has significant demand for buildings refurbishing and maintenance, energy saving and sustainability.

Taking into consideration that our youngest member is 20 years old and the oldest more than 80, we can wish that our Diamonds are Forever!

”For the BMW Group, intelligent energy management that reduces emissions and maximizes Apostolos Vakakis performance Turnover contributes 454.276.468 significantly to PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 96.956.097 a sustainable environment”

52 Diamonds

During the last decade, we have all observed tremendous technological changes in the automotive industry. Lightweight car manufacturing, engine downsizing to reduce CO2 emissions, digital connectivity, passenger safety and autonomous driving are all growing concerns that are reshaping the present and the future of individual mobility. Over the next ten years, the BMW Group foresees that the automotive industry will change faster than it has over the last thirty years. The rapid expansion of urbanization and the ever-increasing influence of technology on our daily activities is the reason for this transformation.

This year, the BMW Group celebrates its 100th anniversary by focusing not on the past but on the future. As a pioneer of providing premium mobility services, the BMW Group will continue to grow its global success by offering to the customer “Sheer Driving Pleasure” and an emotional connection with his/her vehicle. Individual mobility will remain a fundamental human need and it will interconnect all aspects of our everyday lives. At a time when “mobility” is becoming more multifaceted with breakthrough technological innovations, the BMW Group is already transforming electronic data into digital intelligence that provides added value for customers worldwide. All our brands offer top digital connectivity services which provide the highest level of driving comfort and safety connecting the driver with the external environment. Furthermore, at some point in the not too distant future, automobiles will act as digital chauffeurs and compan-

ions making transportation a personal and unique experience. The driver’s wellbeing will become increasingly important, and rather than merely feeling they are in a machine that drives itself, they should sense that they are sitting in a vehicle that was specifically designed for them.

For the BMW Group, intelligent energy management that reduces emissions and maximizes performance contributes significantly to a sustainable environment. The innovative BMW eDrive technology underlines BMW’s leading role in the premium segment when it comes to powertrain electrification. This new drive system technology is being applied in all the electrically powered vehicles from BMW i and the plugin hybrid models of BMW. The new BMW 330e, BMW 225xe and X5 xDrive 40e are already available for customers and more models will follow by the end of the year.

BMW eDrive is an important element of the BMW Group EfficientDynamics strategy, as it delivers the highest standards in driving dynamics with intelligent lightweight design and optimized aerodynamics.

As engineering technology and digitalization are rapidly evolving on a global scale, it is of pivotal importance for our country to be aligned with these major changes.

BMW Group Hellas will continue the success of the BMW Group by offering premium products and services that will not only add value and high satisfaction levels to the customer, but will also contribute in establishing a more sustainable and cleaner environment for the future.

Mr. Emmanuel Panagiotakis PPC’s international expansion strategy

”I would like to point out the EU policy for energy integration of the member states, based on which Apostolos Vakakis regional markets Turnover 454.276.468 are going to play PROFIT BEFORE TAXES an important 96.956.097 role”

54 Diamonds

Today, PPC is active in an increasingly competitive market, as it is being aligned with EU directives in electricity generation and supply. The monopoly status has been abolished for more than 15 years now. PPC is now a Societe Anonyme, controlled by the State, but with private investors owning close to 48,5% of the company’s share capital, of which more than 30% are foreign institutional investors. PPC’s shares are listed in the Athens Stock Exchange and in the London Stock Exchange.

The international developments and more so the developments in the EU electricity sector are rapidly evolving. Environmental requirements, targets relating to climate change, Renewables technology and EU institutional interventions shape up a new environment, completely different compared to the past.

I would like to point out the EU policy for energy integration of the member states, based on which regional markets are going to play an important role.

Such a regional market is ours that is, the Balkan countries’ market. For the integration of this regional market, PPC is willing to meaningfully contribute by providing any support necessary to the electricity authorities and operating entities of the countries in the region. Within this framework, the development of the relations in the electricity sector between neighboring countries such as Greece and Albania are absolutely essential and certainly beneficial for both countries.

At the same time, the appropriate and timely investments in generation plants, among which hydroelectrical and RES plants, have a leading role and will contribute not only in the security of electricity supply of our countries but also will constitute an exceptional competitive advantage in the framework of the under development market in our neighboring region.

PPC’s strategy in the new environment that is shaping up both in Greece and globally, targets, on the one hand, the increase of its competitiveness and the development of its ability to efficiently manage its customer base in response to intensifying competition and, on the other hand, the expansion in new markets with cooperation and joint ventures involving not only state but also private companies. We fully acknowledge that the adaptability in changes and flexibility are conditions for sustainable growth.

We work intensively towards this direction.

We consider Albania as a friendly country of strategic importance for the expansion of our activities. We want to develop trustworthy and long-term cooperation with state and private companies in Albania for investments mainly in building hydroelectric and RES plants, across all technologies and consequently for their operation.

It goes without saying that our cooperation will be based on solid principles for mutual benefit and with full respect to the institutions and traditions of your country and of course aiming at the creation of new jobs in the sector.

Nikolaos Chatziargyriou HEDNO’s primary role in the recovery of the Greek economy

56 Diamonds

Hard and focused work by everyone next to a stable financial environment is needed, in order to revive the economy of our country.

SMEs are believed to be the backbone of the Greek economy, however larger enterprises “The diamonds of the Greek economy”, play a crucial role and act as the major economic growth drivers.

Economic growth is inextricably linked to the energy sector and our future is dependent upon reliable, affordable, equitable access to energy.

HEDNO, the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator, is a Corporation that operates at “the heart” of the energy sector and plays a primary role in the effort of Greek economy’s recovery.

HEDNO was established in May 2012, following the separation of Distribution sector from PPC S.A. Today, the Company is one of the largest Distribution Corporations in EU, according to the number of its customers (7.4 million), and the total length of its networks (236,000 km).

HEDNO’s main mission is the effective operation, maintenance and development of these networks and the facilitation of the retail energy market. HEDNO is also responsible for the management of our country’s Non-Interconnected islands electricity systems and cares for their reliable, effective and safe operation.

The main cornerstone of HEDNO’s strategy is the continuous improvement of electricity supply quality at the lowest possible cost.

For the effective implementation of this strategy, HEDNO realizes total investments that exceed 250 million euros annually, aim-

ing at the development and modernization of the Distribution Network and the provision of services to consumers in the whole country.

During the last years, HEDNO aims to evolve in to a modern Electricity Network Operator, able to face the new challenges imposed by the rapid transformation of the electricity sector in a decarbonized economy. This is achieved by carrying out strategic projects which modernize Corporation’s systems and establish the basis for the transition to the Smart Grids era, adopting the latest technologies from Information Technology and Telecommunications sectors.

The advantages of Smart Grids for the operational efficiency of the System are almost too numerous to list, but it is necessary to emphasize the great economic benefits for the customer and their significant contribution to environmental protection.

Using Smart Grids technologies, HEDNO can provide electricity to consumers with higher reliability at a lower cost, exploiting the potential of RES (Renewable Energy Sources) based dispersed generation and the active participation of consumers. This will lead to an increase of RES penetration leading to GHG emissions’ reduction and more efficient use of energy.

Moreover, given the economic climate in our country, it is important to highlight that Smart Grids can significantly contribute to economic development by creating new jobs, new business opportunities (development of new applications, solutions and technologies) and by providing opportunities for innovation by the Research and Development sector.

Greek exports, the missing piece of the growth puzzle

”Greek entrepreneurs should adopt a truly export-oriented approach focusing on Apostolos Vakakis generating Turnover 454.276.468 continuous PROFIT BEFORE TAXES demand for their 96.956.097 products”

60 Diamonds

Greek enterprises operate in an increasingly challenging environment. On the one hand, the imposition of capital controls has resulted in businesses facing major liquidity problems. On the other hand, domestic consumption is worsening, driving a number of Greek enterprises to penetrate foreign markets.

Greece has long been the EU member state with the lowest export share in GDP resulting from an introvert economy that does not promote competitiveness. And this situation has improved marginally, during the financial turmoil, with Greek exports lagging behind the recovery of other countries that were subject to Economic Adjustment Programs.

In addition, the chronic absence of investments in the primary and secondary economic sectors of the country as well as the lack of a consistent national export strategy plan, that should divide product sectors, need to be addressed.

But above all, Greek products often fail to compete successfully abroad because they: ● Do not offer added value ● Do not fulfil foreign markets’ requirements and standards ● Do not consider market and consumer trends ● Fail to meet consumer needs In other words, Greek entrepreneurs do not focus on differentiation, consistency and innovation, failing to exploit and optimize their resources and comparative advantages in order to boost productivity and export revenues.

However, these shortcomings need to be addressed so that Greece’s export performance is reinvigorated, thus generating the much needed economic growth. In particular, the way of “doing business” needs to be reformed. Greek entrepreneurs should adopt a truly export-oriented approach focusing on generating continuous demand for their products instead on realizing random, fragmented sales. A well-organized strategic export plan based on thorough market and consumer insight research is therefore crucial. Equally important is the creation or adaptation of the appropriate product portfolio and packaging which will meet the needs of every target market, as well as the needs of the supply chain.

Therefore, a holistic approach to marketing is indispensable for an effective development, differentiation, promotion and positioning of the Greek products to the foreign markets.

On a larger, national scale, collective initiatives and synergies undertaken both by private and public bodies are considered useful and necessary. The strengthening of the national brand name which will act as an umbrella for Greek products, giving prominence to quality, is an indicative step to the right direction. Furthermore, the adoption of the appropriate policies and regulatory frameworks that provide incentives and reduce barriers for Greek exporters will certainly boost performance. For instance, the new pending Greek tax legislation should focus on the taxation of the business profits and not of their productive resources, in order to prevent an increase in the operating costs of the Greek enterprises.

Consequently, despite the high economic uncertainty and tough austerity measures that do harm entrepreneurship in Greece, the country’s export under-performance is not a recent problem. However, the recovery of the country’s exports is achievable as long as Greek entrepreneurs focus on proper business operation and on creating and promoting high quality products to foreign markets with continuity, consistency and professionalism. Needless to say that, the State should encourage such endeavors. Only then, can Greek exports contribute to the successful solution of the growth puzzle.

Nikodimos Farmakis “Humanity is still alive in Greece…”

”Humanity is still alive and will stay alive in Greece, Apostolos Vakakis in contrast Turnover to Europe” 454.276.468 PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 96.956.097

62 Diamonds

If we wanted to give a title to Greece today, what effortlessly comes to my mind now are the words of the Beatitude Archbishop of Athens and Greece Mr Ieronimos who used to say “Humanity is still alive in Greece…”

In the past years, not very long ago, one could watch the Church caring for the Country, the Greek slaves, their lives, their schools, their education, their culture.

All those saw the Church as their only support and they have never forgotten, never disdained Its offer and Its sacrifices.

The Church has never forgotten through history to care in every possible way for fellow humans, it has never stopped looking for ways to comfort the hungry, the hurt, the disabled. It has never stopped continuing its operation after the Mass, on the curbside of every church, all over this country. Many have tried to disdain Its role and have not managed to. Many have fought it and were defeated. Many have slandered it and have been outargued and isolated in a small, forgotten niche of history, expecting their redemption through the history itself, this time written with another pen, a humble, historical and true one.

Today, and, when I say “today”, I mean at least the last decade, the Greek Church has had to deal with such problems, which, if they were described as action planning on paper, would frighten us or even make us smirk. Today, the Church feels the agony of hundreds of thousands of impoverished people. It feels the agony of the unemployed, who have lost their job suddenly, family people, people with dignity. It feels the agony of the physically disabled, those that

cannot afford their medicine, the care of their patients, the care of people with special needs, the private schools of their children, the care of their children at school… And many other agonies that, over time, make me sad and hurt me, while I try to find solutions and a way out from the dead-end that some people have created without taking account of the human being!

Today, when everything is distorted and devalued, the Church is vigilant. And it is vigilant through Its body, and Its body is the human being, the head of this body is Jesus Christ himself. Jesus Christ vitalizes and takes care of His body with His own blood, and, therefore, the body reacts and acts. And one member takes care of the other in such an admirable way that I can say with all the strength of my soul that, yes, humanity is still alive in Greece.

In Europe, it is dying slowly, because the Greeks have learned a lot from mother Church.

You, the business world of the country, are all worthy of congratulations, you budget and balance your financial data.

Don’t look for such calculations in the charity work of the Church. The whole budget has been left to people’s hearts, because all of the Church’s works are not performed with the budget, but with the spirit of the heart.

Yes, humanity is still alive and will stay alive in Greece, in contrast to Europe. Our people has strength. All of you here, all of us have the strength and the content, and this is the message. This is the optimism and comfort in the problems we have been facing. This is my wish, too. If we stay united, there is nothing to fear.

LocaL and regionaL deveLopment with depa’s naturaL gas projects The natural gas industry is a major contributor to the GDP of many countries. It is by nature large-scale, employing thousands, generating associated revenues and tax income. The natural gas helps fuel local business and builds a platform to grow Greece’s economy.

DEPA with its long presence in the Greek market is a modern and competitive group of companies with a dynamic presence in the energy sector and substantial contribution to the development of the Greek economy, the protection of the environment and the improvement of the quality of life of the local communities.

With the continuous expansions of the natural gas pipelines DEPA Group is bringing natural gas to more and more regions of the country. It sources gas from a number of suppliers through long-term supply contracts and covers a major proportion of the total domestic demand.

In Greece, the gas transmission system serves residents of the eastern part and Depa develops actions at the national and european level so as natural gas (CNG/LNG) becomes accessible and intelligible to other cities (of the western Greece) and other, more problematic regions. The company develops the natural gas network near the cities that are around the high pressure piplene area.One of the company’s main goals is to expand the use of natural gas in the western part of the country.

Depa as a leader in the natural gas market and through infrastructure projects and international internships has managed to create a large and adequate pipeline network.

The development of the Greek-Bulgarian (IGB) interconnection and the Greek-Italian pipeline (IGI) are just some of the infrastructure projects of greek and european interest.

The long-term contracts with Sonatrach, Gazprom and BOTAS

64 Diamonds

and the agreement with Azerbaijan constitute strategic agreements achieved by DEPA to further develop the energy market and ensure diversification of energy sources and longterm, secure natural gas supply for Greece.

The fundamental aim of DEPA is to remain a strong regional energy company offering quality and innovative services contributing, thus, to the economic development and the society’s welfare. The company’s main goals are to increase the natural gas penetration in the Greek energy market, to adapt to the changing needs of the market and to improve the competitive and sufficiently diversified natural gas supply portfolio.

European gas use continues to grow According to latest estimates from the trade association Eurogas, natural gas consumption in European Union grew by some 4% in 2015 to 426.3bn m3. That increase can be explained by a number of factors such as the economic recovery in some countries (France, Czech Republic and Slovakia) and hence a rise in industrial gas demand. Lower gas prices also saw more gas used in UK power generation than in 2014, whilst Italy and Greece used more for summer air-conditioning. The old and energy-intensive buildings in most European countries increase the gas demand mainly for heating and cooling. The overall rise in 2015 gas use was also mirrored by a rise in LNG imports.

Greece has developed a basic infrastructure that covers the energy needs particularly in the eastern part of the country.

Gas share as primary energy consumption was 12% in 2014 slightly lower than in 2011 (13%). In Europe, the corresponding figure is approximately 21% in 2014 whereas 2011 figure was 23%. It therefore follows that there is a lot to be done in the field of development in Greece in order to be aligned with the European standards and to meet the growing demand for the domestic use.

DIAMONDS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY 2016

While gas is a lower carbon fuel than coal, the implication of such a massive new investment in gas infrastructure is that its use will continue for decades to come.

Better markets for gas can help keep EU energy secure if combined with continued renewable energy growth, but this strategy won’t stop us wasting power stations worth of energy.

Depa has set high targets for the development of its activities and the company’s main goals are to increase the natural gas penetration in the Greek energy market, to adapt to the changing needs of the market and to improve the competitive and sufficiently diversified natural gas supply portfolio.

Without natural gas, a number of industries would not be able to perform and contribute to an economy’s output. A study by the Center for Global Development (CGD), found that the greater use of natural gas for electricity could help lift some countries out of poverty by providing greater access to affordable and reliable power.

• The Eastern Mediterranean Pipeline (EastMed) The Eastern Mediterranean Pipeline, or the East Med, will connect the recently discovered gas fields in the Levantine Basin in the Southeast Mediterranean with mainland Greece.

• Interconnector Greece – Italy (IGI) A project to connect Greece with Italy, the Interconnector GreeceItaly (IGI) connecting Greece with Italy (from the Thesprotia region in Greece to Otranto in Southern Italy), developed by the Greek company IGI Poseidon S.A. IGI Poseidon S.A., is equally owned by DEPA and the Italian Edison.

• Poseidon Med DEPA participates as project coordinator at the POSEIDON MED II project, which is a part of a global project aiming to take all the necessary steps towards adoption of LNG as marine fuel in East Mediterranean Sea, while making Greece an international marine bunkering and distribution hub for LNG in South Eastern Europe.

The natural gas benefits Since other energy resources are fast depleting and conventional fuels are more expensive and more polluting, the natural gas is the green fuel that allows the transition to a low-carbon economy. Europe and especially Greece can take significant steps toward and beyond the initiatives of energy independence and conservation. The expanding market of natural gas can create millions of jobs, help fuel local

DEPA: Sustainable social and economic development A group that…

• is the largest natural gas importer and distributor in Greece which sells gas to large consumers and to the gas supply companies.

• has made co-operations with big international companies (Gazprom, BOTAS, Sonatrach, Edison, ICGB) and ensures the optimal coupling between international supply and indigenous demand.

• covers with natural gas an area from Thrace to Attica and all big consumption areas of the continental part • develops actions at the national and european level so as natural gas (CNG/LNG) becomes accessible and intelligible to all parts of the country (east, west Greece, islands etc) • has significant contribution to Greek economy growth, environmental protection and improvement of local communities’ quality of life • has opened up the way to gas-driving by establishing stations in big cities

business and build a platform to grow economy—not just today, but for decades.

Natural gas plays a key role in ensuring European countries are able to meet our energy needs of the future for many reasons

• It is clean: Natural gas is the cleanestburning fossil fuel, with 30 percent less carbon than oil and as much as 60 percent less carbon than coal.

• It is reliable: We can access natural gas when we need it, through well-established networks of pipelines that bring natural gas safely and reliably into our homes and businesses.

• It is versatile: The versatility of natural gas makes it an important foundation fuel for the industry, households, enterprises and transport. Natural gas (either in liquefied or compressed form) is used to fuel vehicles, transit buses in urban areas, ships.

• It supports the economy: Responsible development of natural gas brings significant economic benefits as it increases government revenues, it creates jobs and saves money from the industry by supplying low-cost energy.

Following the EU directives for low-emission fuels The EU directive wants to reduce the transport sector’s dependence on oil and curb emissions. To this end, the directive focuses on particularly low-emission fuels, giving compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) key roles to play alongside electric power.

EU Member States are now required to establish a minimum infrastructure as well as develop a general strategy for providing better support and marketing of alternative fuels in the transport sector.

Depa has made all the important steps in the development of the institutional framework for implementing the infrastructure of gas stations.

It has developed basic infrastructure to provide market pull for eco-efficient alternative fuels and clean vehicles, enabling more and more consumers to refuel their vehicles with natural gas and enjoy the benefits of the «green» fuel. The FISIKON is the brand name under which Depa promotes the natural gas as fuel for vehicles.

DEPA currently operates 7 refueling stations in various cities all over Greece while more are under construction or licensing phase in many cities.

Industrial disinvestment together with high unemployment remain the most obvious aspects of the economic crisis in Greece, as well as key recovery factors. The devolution of the Greek productive base has been dramatic in terms of fixed capital formation.

Compared to pre-crisis era, it has decreased by more than 50%, leading the private economy to negative fixed capital of €13b approx. Despite the fact that negative fixed capital formation has also been witnessed in several other countries during the crisis (e.g. Italy, Cyprus, Portugal); none of these countries compare to the Greek case, whose figures are far worse.

For the economy to return to pro-crisis performance, additional investments of €100b at minimum are necessary. This is a figure multiple of NSRF funds (approx. €2b for private investments) even if coupled together with the state aid to be provided by the new Development Law (estimated to €1,5-2b). It is evident that we are not dealing with a typical disinvestment problem that can be reversed with traditional investment promotion tools. Instead, the Greek economy asks for game-change initiatives, far beyond the reach of traditional state-aid benefits and outdated tax incentives.

Comprehensive policies that will expedite growth and create jobs for all, is desperately needed. To accelerate growth, Greece asks for a new investment paradigm which will counterweight over-taxation, contribute to new jobs, enhance the exporting capacity of Greek companies, shift focus to tradeable goods, innovation and synergies between small and large enterprises.

To enhance gross value added, SEV proposes a new investment strategy to be developed in five pillars: 1. Radically incentivize all investments that add value. “Smart” incentives are necessary to horizontally encourage all financially efficient investments, regardless of size, location and industrial sector. A simple yet very effective tool to encourage investments, builds on ex-post reward for capital expenses (capex) that turn into profit and jobs (thus additional tax revenue and social security contributions). Towards this end, over-amortization of capex (e.g. 200%), as well as reduced tax rate (e.g.

20%) for reinvested profits do not compromise fiscal balance while mobilizing large scale industrial investments rapidly. Such tools can achieve two key growth objectives simultaneously. Firstly, they may leverage funds currently seeking opportunities internationally but do not reach Greece. Secondly, they may contribute to the restructuring of the Greek economy towards added value production and services as well as sustainable new jobs.

2. Boost investments in innovation. Industrial sectors increasingly become technology oriented,

while innovative products and processes are indispensable for Greece to gain a competitive advantage internationally. Enterprises comprising an innovation potential, broad-based global business activities and an active participation in production networks, act as front-runners and trigger significant economic multiplier effects. To facilitate the rapid commercialization of innovation, incentives for bridging the gap between companies and research should be provided. Another simple but also very effective tool to do that, employs tax breaks on profits that emerge from commercializing innovation. Existing tax incentives in several European countries reach 35% (effective tax break) with the rate in Greece to be as low as 8.7%.

3. A ttract business centers, innovation centers, business excellence and logistics hubs, as well as shared services units in Greece. Such centers typically employ skilled personnel and ask for a fixed tax rate (e.g. a notional tax rate of 5% on expenses) for at least ten years. Such investments capitalize on the geo-location of the country and may hopefully halt “brain drain”.

4. S implify investment environment. Greek companies are striving to remain competitive internationally. But to achieve this, all barriers that undermine the cost-competitiveness must be addressed swiftly. Such barriers impose an additional cost of €4b, double the time for justice administration, delay exports, etc. The propensity to over-regulate and impose multiple layers of indirect taxes and levies on production are additional barriers to overcome in order to simplify “doing business in Greece”.

5. C orporate size matters. Greek companies traditionally are associated to small corporate size, thus private sector’s employment is unequally allocated to small companies. However, SMEs typically present reduced resilience during financial turmoil as well as difficulties in maintaining access to international markets. Hence, it is important to direct investments to setup value adding networks of SMEs around large and export oriented enterprises. This will strengthen the resilience of SMEs but will also provide economies of scale and flexibility to larger enterprises.

Greece desperately asks for a contemporary policy mix to mobilize private investments rapidly and create new jobs. Game-change tools and mechanisms can be leveraged to counterbalance over-taxation and tackle barriers in the business environment. The challenge for the public administration remains on how to integrate them properly in the National Development Plan, and of course, to implement them, in order to quickly reach the European objectives in the context of European industrial policy and Industry 4.0.

Constructions Aktor is the Group’s primary constructions subsidiary, being Greece’s leading firm in the specific sector for a number of years. Efforts to establish and expand the firm globally, as well as its gradual transformation into a regional player have already begun to bear fruit with the undertaking of projects, mainly in the Balkans and the Middle East. Such projects are being selected carefully both in terms of the type of projects themselves and on a country basis.

The high backlog of construction activity exceeds 3.3 billion euros (as at March 31, 2016) and spans to more than 20 countries. Indicative of the firm’s new orientation is that the backlog is now generated by 55% of projects abroad and the remaining of projects in Greece. Aκtor is the cornerstone of the group’s growth, contributing substantially to all new activities through highlevel executives and expertise.

Concessions In the concessions field, the group holds a leading position among domestic competitors in cofinanced projects with major stakes in projects including Attiki Odos (59.2%) and Rio-Antirion Bridge (22%). Ellaktor, through its subsidiary Aktor Concessions SA, also has a significant share in the new market of co-financed projects, including the Corinth-Tripoli-Kalamata (Moreas) Highway, the Maliakos-Kleidi highway (Aegean Motorway), and the Elefsina-Corinth-Patra-Pyrgos-Tsakona

Highway (Olympia Odos), in addition to its active participation in several other concession projects (parkings, marinas, etc.).

Waste Management In the waste management/environment sectors, the Group holds a dominant position in Greece in recycling and waste management projects, as well as in landfill and hazardous waste treatment facilities construction and operation. Following the acquisition of Germany’s Herhof by subsidiary Helector, the Group has gained access to a globally unique technology on recycling issues of municipal and commercial waste, which now makes it a major international player with significant presence in Germany, Bulgaria, Croatia and Jordan, in an area with significant growth potential.

The Group financially closed the 1st Waste Management PPP in W. Macedonia (currently under construction) and also operates the largest landfill biogas facility in Europe (25MW).

Energy ELTECH Anemos SA, another Group subsidiary, operates in the wind farm sector, which through an initial core of engineering partners, is now staffed with specialized experts and knowhow in the complex procedures of design, evaluation, licensing, construction and operation of RES generation projects, mainly wind, which is its primary line of business. ELTECH Anemos was listed on the Main Market of Athens Stock Exchange in July 2014. Today, the Group operates several wind farms of a total installed capacity of 208MW (14 wind farms, one photovoltaic station and hydroelectric station), as well as another 57MW under construction. The Group is also highly active in the thermal energy generation segment via Elpedison SA. Real estate In the field of real estate development, the total value of real estate owned by subsidiary REDS is estimated at about 115 million euros (Book value as at 31/12/2015). Over the past five years, the firm concluded the development of two shopping and leisure centers in Patra and Athens, as well as a pioneering residential complex in Pallini (Attica). Also, in late 2010, the Smart Park, Spata began operation as Greece’s first hybrid commercial park, in an area expanding over 22.5 acres, including 7.5 acres of landscaped space.

Other investments Finally, major investments have also been made beyond the firm’s traditionally strategic areas, such as the Regency Casino Mont Parnes (Athens) and the Halkidiki mines (Northern Greece) with a stake of 1.1% in Eldorado Gold and a 5% stake in Hellas Gold SA.

SANOFI, A GLOBAL LIFE SCIENCES COMPANY Sanofi is a global life sciences company committed to improving access to healthcare and supporting the people we serve throughout the continuum of care. From prevention to treatment, Sanofi transforms scientific innovation into healthcare solutions, in human vaccines, rare diseases, multiple sclerosis, oncology, immunology, infectious diseases, diabetes and cardiovascular solutions and consumer healthcare. More than 110,000 people at Sanofi are dedicated to make a difference on patients’ daily life, wherever they live and enable them to enjoy a healthier life.

Medicine has made great progress in the last century. The average life expectancy of people worldwide has doubled in that time, thanks in large measure to the development of innovative treatments for serious diseases.

At Sanofi, we have a clear and resolute line for action: to contribute to the continuous advancement of health. As a company, and as individuals, Sanofi and its talented employees have always striven to advance the cause of health by developing treatments that prevent and treat diseases, while enhancing access to healthcare for the people around the world.

The expertise we have developed along the way has had a profound effect, particularly in the developing world. We have developed the first vaccine for the dengue virus, which infects 390 million people each year, and whose range is expanding due to climate change. Since the beginning of the year, first vaccinations campaigns have started in the Philippines. Thanks to systematic vaccination campaigns, we are close to eradicating polio; while over the last decade, sleeping sickness treatments have saved more than 180,000 lives. In addition, we provide innovative treatments for global killers like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Yet, there is much to be accomplished. A third of the world’s population still has no access to healthcare. And providing health products and services is just one part of the solution to tackle health inequalities that threat human development. As a responsible leader, we must adapt the way we operate to meet our commitment to health.

To do so, we know that the solution will emerge by listening to our stakeholders, and with a collaborative approach. For that, we partner with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the GAVI Alliance and the World Health Organization, amongst others.

Finally, our commitment to health goes beyond medicine, in part through our corporate responsibility approach and our dedication to make a real difference in the lives of people every day.

Rontis Hellas SA, the Greek subsidiary of the multinational specialty corporation, was established in Greece in 1986 by a group of leading professionals with a lengthy experience in the wider healthcare sector and a vision to provide the most innovative & trustworthy solutions to the market, aiming to become an international leader in the global healthcare industry.

During its initial steps, the company collaborated closely with renowned manufacturers of the international medical device industry in order to distribute their products and introduce their technologies in markets that lacked the appropriate knowhow, efficient logistics & supply chain.

In the years that followed, Rontis made the strategic decision to expand its operations from distribution to in-house production of medical devices. Along these lines, it invested heavily in two manufacturing plants and managed within a short time frame to build a brand name associated to innovation and credibility.

The entrance in the Infant Nutrition & Consumer Healthcare markets was another mile-stone in the company’s expansion of activities, which set the stage for a subsequent transition from distribution to production of infant & baby nutrition and dermaceutical products.

Rontis Hellas SA has recently taken another key decision to expand its production activities in the pharmaceutical sector and therefore invested 25million Euros in the establishment of a separate state-of-the-art manufacturing plant, which was followed by the establishment of an in-house pharmaceutical R&D laboratory.

From its establishment back in year 1986 until today, Rontis has managed to steadily expand its operations with calculated steps in multiple sectors of the healthcare field and reach a leading & diversified position, while simultaneously offering an improved quality of life to millions of patients.

Currently, Rontis Hellas is active across five business divisions: ● Medical Devices Division, whose core pillars include the complete medical device inception, R&D and manufacturing processes ● Pharmaceutical Division, which aside the contract manufacturing capabilities it includes the state of the art R&D lab as well as out-licensing activities

Rontis Corporation is proudly represented directly or through affiliated companies in 58 countries with the most recent one being the USA, where Rontis just obtained FDA clearance for an innovative medical device in the interventional radiology field, which presents a unique combination of key characteristics! Rontis organization is committed to expanding its pipeline actively – for this reason we are investing on average more than 6.5% of our annual turnover over the last four years towards research and development activities.

At a country level, Rontis Hellas is one of the most active and reliable players in the Greek Healthcare industry by investing heavily in infrastructure as the company operates 2 manufacturing plants, 2 R&D centers and 1 HD Clinic.

Over the years, Rontis Hellas has reached a leadership position amongst the suppliers of the Greek public and private healthcare sector.

Rontis’ brand name is particularly familiar to the Greek Medical community (physicians, nurses & hospital management) for its credible supply and leadership position in the field of orthopaedics, bloodlines and blood transfusion. Rontis Hellas has built strong expertise and is being recognized for the distribution of orthopaedic implants (including trauma, arthroplasty & sports medicine), general surgery disposables as well as capital equipment that captures the latest technology available internationally. Over the years we have built a strong track record of supplying quality bloodline products, that are manufactured and sterilized in-house and distributed to the majority of the Greek haemodialysis clinics.

Based on those 3 principles, in the year 1990, Mr. Dimitrios and Mrs. Maria Tzika established ELVIAL SA. A flexible aluminium extrusion industry focused on providing custom made solutions in aluminium profiles.

1997: the Research and Development Department is being created in order to design and develop advanced architectural systems.

Euros, which involves the relocation of ELVIAL in new facilities with cutting-edge mechanical equipment and the application –for the first time globally- of intelligent robotic systems in managing and handling of aluminum profiles. The objective of this investment plan was the improvement of company’s competitiveness in global ranking and the increase of flexibility in delivering a large number of small sized orders.

ELVIAL evolves from an intermediate and geographically limited enterprise, in a modern, technologically advanced, vertically integrated, client oriented and without borders company.

ELVIAL today, in a privately-owned space of 180 acres, in the Industrial Park of St. Panteleimon Kilkis, it allocates more than 35.000m2 of buildings and has annual capacity of 14.000TN aluminium profiles, which from 2015 has been covered completely.

AEGEAN Marine Petroleum Network, the publicly-listed international marine fuel supplier arm of Dimitris Melissanidis’ Aegean Group has been on the up lately.

Despite lower oil prices, profits have increased and the company has been able to exploit the disappearance of OW Bunker, by stepping in and expanding the reach of its business in locations such as the US Gulf and west coast, Hamburg and St Petersburg.

The demise of OW, mainly an intermediary, will benefit physical suppliers and AMPNI is the largest independent physical supplier in the world, not counting oil majors and state energy companies, with the largest fleet of dedicated bunkering tankers — 63 of them in about 15 different markets around the globe. Altogether, the company says it physically serves 27 markets and 60 delivery ports.

Recently, it has been rebalancing its mix of products where it can to emphasise higher return products such as low-sulphur fuels and blended finished products. It has also expanded to include cargo sales, a potential new low-cost revenue stream for the company.

A key element in Aegean’s capacity, its new Fujairah Oil Terminal tank farm with about 465,000 cu m of storage, was completed in 2015 and by the third quarter was at more than 85% of capacity.

Founder Mr Melissanidis, who is the company’s largest shareholder, is also active in the energy and shipping markets with a number of private ventures including tanker company Aegean Shipping Management, led by son George Melissanidis.

He is also expanding the group’s environmental services footprint under Hellenic Environmental Centre, which provides oily residue collection from ships and offshore platforms, and treatment services.

In 2015, HEC Europe took over the environmental protection business of Germany’s Eckelmann Group, including an important waste treatment plant in the centre of Hamburg port, land-based reception facilities, floating units for collection of liquid waste, tanks, industrial cleaning services and Marpol logistics.

HEC also recently opened its new state-of-the-art collection centre in Piraeus. Melissanidis-controlled company Oil One acquired the former BP terminal in 2012 and it has now been reconstructed at a cost of €60m ($66m) as a reception and treatment centre.

Mr Melissanidis plans to expand in other locations using the plant as a model for further collection and treatment plants.

Mr Melissanidis was listed in the Top 100 in 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Greek Wine Cellars S.A. The No. 1 Greek wine production company

Exporting to more than 30 countries all over the world “Greek Wine Cellars - D. Kourtakis S.A.” was established in 1895 by Vassilis Kourtakis (1865 - 1946), the first Greek oenologist in contemporary Greece with degree in oenology.

In the late 1960’s, Vassilis Kourtakis, the third generation of the Kourtakis family and today’s Chairman and Managing Director of “Greek Wine Cellars – D. Kourtakis S.A.”, took over the company’s reins. His entry into the company was accompanied by fresh ideas, youthful drive, and plans to conquer new markets outside Greece.

In the mid-1980’s Vassilis Kourtakis created a state-of-the-art winery in Ritsona, Viotia. The company adopted cutting-edge winemaking methods and engaged in the production of a new range of non-resinated wines. In 1985, the company launched its Apelia range.

Vasilis Kourtakis – President and CEO

I n 1992, due to rapid pace of growth of the export, occurred the need to expand its wine portfolio, thus it led the company to collaboration with Calliga winery. “Greek Wine Cellars” would take over both the production and sales of the Calliga products in Greece and abroad, thus adding a premium quality range of wines to its own portfolio. The thrive of exports expanded over 32 countries around the world. In 2000 exports accounted for nearly half of the company’s annual turnover. Rapidly the “Greek Wine Cellars” expanded; through strategic and carefully planned collaborations.

In 2004, the company bought 50% of the share capital of “Oenoforos S.A.”, consequently selling the “boutique” wines of the noted and respected winemaker, Angelos Rouvalis. ● In late 2009 “Greek Wine Cellars” began a co-operation with the group “Grands Chais de France” to distribute the GCF products in Greece. Subsequently, “Greek Wine Cellars” added to its product range a renowned selection of imported wines, that were previously entirely absent, thereby complementing the company’s own portfolio of Greek wines. ● In 2010, “Greek Wine Cellars” became the sole distributor of the Babatzim products in both Greece and abroad. Anestis Babatzimopoulos is a gifted winemaker and distiller who on his estate at Ossa, near Thessaloniki, produces the famous ouzo and tsipouro that have rightfully earned him the title of “master of distillation”. ● Through this latest commercial partnership the wine choices of this noted vineyard in Macedonia have been added to the “Greek Wine Cellars’” wine portfolio. Also the company has entered the spirits business, selling and distributing the premium Greek distillations of ouzo and tsipouro from Babatzim. ●

E. MALAMATINAS & SON SA

“An unending story of the legend Greek Retsina Malamatina” All started in 1860 when Efstratios Malamatinas started to make wine on his own vineyard on the island of Tenedos.

His son Konstantinos who inherited his father’s love, passion for good wine continued his legacy and founded the Family’s first winery in 1895 in Alexandroupolis with the name “Tenedos”.

Retsina Malamatina is the most renowned white Resinated Wine.

An authentic Greek wine. Ιt is made exclusively out of the Greek grape varieties Savatiano and Rhoditis. Ιs an ancient Greek recipe and is thus protected as Greek heritage, meaning that it cannot be produced anywhere else in the world.

Vinification complies to the white wine-making method by selecting only the “flower must” from the grapes to achieve the wine’s unique color, aroma, flavor and quality.

The addition of a small amount of pine resin during fermentation, provides the distinctive ‹retsina› flavor. At the same time, it allows the fruity aromas of these varietals to emerge and gives a pleasurably remaining flavor of acidity and along long – lasting enjoyment.

The quality of Retsina Malamatina is assured by the state-of-the-art winery facilities, which are fully automated with mechanical equipment of the latest technology.

We are the largest wine-producers in Greece, and we are also certainly one of the biggest wineproducing companies in Europe. Our facilities have the capacity to produce 30.000 bottles per hour, as there is on average, a daily consumption of 300,000 bottles per day. It is more than safe to say that we have the largest share of the market in Greece and our established brand has become synonymous to the product. We are exporting almost all over the world, expanding the legend “Retsina Malamatina” from Europe to Australia.

Our brand has become historic in our culture and our yearly growth is evidence of this.

World-renowned for its hand-finished and contemporary jewellery at affordable prices, PANDORA designs, manufactures and markets jewellery made from high-quality materials. Inspiring women to embrace their individuality and express their personal style, PANDORA’s stylish and feminine jewellery captures the unforgettable moments and personal values in life. PANDORA’s unique and detailed designs combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology are sold in more than 100 countries across six continents through approximately 9,000 points of sale, including more than 1,800 concept stores.

Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, PANDORA employs more than 16,700 people worldwide of whom approximately 11,000 are located in Gemopolis, Thailand, where the company manufactures its jewellery. PANDORA is publicly listed on the NASDAQ Copenhagen stock exchange in Denmark. In 2015, PANDORA’s total revenue was DKK 16.7 billion (approximately EUR 2.2 billion). Pandora Jewelry Hellas is the exclusive distributor of Pandora A/S Denmark, in Greece and Cyprus, from the second half of 2006.

A MODERN SUCCESS STORY Today, there are 13 PANDORA concept stores and 18 shop-in-shops in Greece, mainly located in big cities and tourist hot-spots on the islands. But sales are not driven by tourists alone. The bestperforming store is in Ermou, a large shopping street in Athens were 60% of shoppers are local. All 13 concept stores are owned and run by Billy Pantazakos and Elli Maragoudaki and their team, but the shop-in-shops are run by franchisees, with Maragoudaki as the distributing partner. It’s a diverse group, but everyone feels part of the PANDORA family and takes pride in each other’s success.

“To be a successful distributor, you have to trust the product and the people who sell it,” says Billy.

“We share information with our partners and we all learn from each other. We work hard to together and we celebrate together. In Greece, we have a saying. At the start of every month, we say ‘I wish you a good month’. This is what we say to our franchisees, and we do all we can to help them to achieve it.”

DIAMONDS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY 2016 - DISTINGUISHED COMPANIES

E-commerce is also on the increase. The Greek PANDORA Club has more than 13,000 members and the Greek Facebook page more than 92,000 fans. These are very good numbers for Greece, where online clubs of this kind are very rare.

THE CONCEPT, THE TEAM AND THE FUTURE Despite all their hard work and the time and money they have invested, Billy and Elli are convinced that success is down to the people, and PANDORA itself.

“PANDORA is not a success by accident,” says Billy. “It’s down to the product, the concept, the people and the core values. Our team was always motivated and inspired from those values. We focused on hiring people with values that suit the company: people with passion, pride in the team and a commitment to performance.”

This focus on people has certainly worked. PANDORA Greece won the Pride, Passion and Performance award at the PANDORA Global Conference in 2015.

“The award meant a lot of us,” says Elli with a very broad smile. “We are proud of our achievements as a team. But the most important thing is not the destination; it’s the journey itself. And it’s not finished yet. We are still growing and still working hard to be better. We know where we want to be in the big cities and right now we are lucky because we are offered empty stores. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for us. But again, we will do it step by step.”

FOUNDATION FOR PEOPLE WITH MENTAL RETARDATION OR DOWN SYNDROME “MARIA KOKKORI” OF THE HOLY ARCHDIOCESE OF ATHENS

A very warm and beautiful home has been created in Athens in order to host a special group of ladies who have been diagnosed with mental retardation or Down syndrome.

Unknown perhaps to the wider community, however very well known to the experts of the field for its high quality services, the Foundation “Maria Kokkori” offers 24 hours hospitality to its 21 residents, securing them an environment full of warmth, love and care. Special educators, psychologists, social workers, doctors, care givers and cookers offer their services with consistency and zest in order to educate the residents and to offer happy, creative moments.

The foundation “Maria Kokkori” was created by a mother’s initiative whose daughter was born with Down syndrome. Her anxiety for her daughter’s future was the driving force for the creation of this home and with the help of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens a very high standard home operates for ladies with mental retardation and Down syndrome.

Targeting “no child left behind” a variety of activities takes place every day by the foundation staff aiming at boosting the autonomy of the residents. As an example we mention the activities of learning disabilities groups, of gross and fine motor coordination (embroidery, handicrafts), cooking and confectionery groups, carpentry and pottery workshops, computer learning groups.

Moreover, special support is provided to the residents’ families so as to help them acknowledge and accept the difficulty, while at the same time providing adequate guideline in order to maximize the results of the therapeutic intervention.

The socialization of our residents has been in the focus of the foundation operation, thus outdoor activities such as bowling, swimming, track and field are an everyday habit for them, some of who take part in Special Olympics with remarkable success.

In recent years, in the context of a well-organized attempt to inform and sensitize the local community for people with disabilities more than 150 volunteers have been trained, more than 140 school visits have been made in our facilities and our efforts go on. Every day constitutes a new challenge in order for us to make the lives of our residents more pleasant, more creative and unique and we know that much more are left to be done. Mother Teresa used to say: ”even we ourselves feel that whatever we offer is a drop in the ocean but the ocean would be smaller if this drop was missing”.

So, we will intensify our efforts and we firmly believe that the harsh circumstances for the Greek economy will not have a negative effect on the quality of the offered services. Receiving the assistance of a few businessmen and the moral support of many of everyday people we make our way and we hope that we will keep ensuring our girls an auspicious future in a hospitable, cozy environment full of safety and love, as they deserve.

In order to keep accomplishing our duty we need more supporters willing to offer any kind of assistance either financial or in the form of goods or services. So we address to anybody who read this manuscript to stand by our girls who need our love and our watchful care. Let’s help!

INDEPENDENT POWER TRANSMISSION OPERATOR (IPTO) SA

A major player in power management and transmission

Yiannis Blanas, CEO

Turnover 312,558,000

The Independent Power Transmission Operator (IPTO) SA is a 100% subsidiary of PPC (Public Power Corporation SA) established in compliance with the provisions of Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Union on the legal and functional separation of the monopoly transmission and distribution activities of vertically integrated businesses operating in the energy sector.

These provisions were incorporated into Greek law (Act 4001/2011), under which the IPTO was founded as a subsidiary of PPC in accordance with the model of Independent Transmission Operator (ITO), as provided for in the abovementioned Directive. Under the provisions of Act 4001/2011, IPTO assumed the role of Manager of Greek Electricity Transmission System (ESMIE) and specific tasks of operation, maintenance and development of ESMIE, integrating the tasks and functions which were the responsibility of DESMIE as System Administrator and General Transmission Management of the PPC as the System Owner. Therefore, IPTO was established following integration of the respective PPC Transmission Sector and the DESMIE in a separate company which transferred all relevant organizational functions, staff and assets of ESMIE and, according to Act 4001/2011, is the successor of all rights and obligations associated with the above Transmission Sectors.

In 2015, the firm reported a slight drop in sales (-1.5%) to 258 million euros against 262 million euros a year earlier. This was mainly attributed to a reduction in the cost of the Transmission System Lease. Operational expenses more than doubled to 103 million euros against 51 million euros a year earlier, primarily due to an increase in risk provisions to 28 million euros, against the previous year’s release of provisions of 22 million euros. The increase in operational expenses led to a 28% drop in EBITDA to 155 million euros, against 213 million euros in 2013. Net profit dropped 50% to 35.5 million euros compared to 69.9 million euros a year earlier.

The company’s headquarters and production facility continues to be based in Kalamata. In 1971, the firm relocated operations to its present facilities, measuring an area of 80,000 sqm.

EYDAP is the largest company of its kind in Greece and serves approximately 4.3 million customers (2.03 million water meters), while the length of its water pipelines is 9,500 km. The sewerage sector serves 3.5 million residents with sewers spreading at almost 6,000 km.

EYDAP was founded in 1980 after a merger of the 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, the firm 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 2015, the company’s sales inched down to 324.25 million euros against 326.37 million euros a year earlier. Pre-tax income dropped 11.32% to 56.34 million euros.

COLGATE PALMOLIVE HELLAS SA

Holding a leading position in the Greek market

Turnover 17,955,885.00 €

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 55,261,528.00 €

Colgate-Palmolive is one of the most renowned brands in the field of consumer products worldwide. Its areas of activity expand across almost the entire range of consumer products, with a strong presence in more than 200 countries worldwide. Its flagship products include Colgate toothpaste and toothbrushes, Palmolive soaps and shampoos, Softsoap liquid hand soap and Mennen deodorants. In terms of sales volume growth indicators, economic indicators and performance and efficiency indicators, the firm occupies a leading position in the Greek market.

Colgate was founded in 1806 by William Colgate as a soap and candle manufacturing enterprise in New York. In Greece, Colgate-Palmolive SA was founded on February 13, 1962 in Athens, but Colgate-Palmolive products were already known since 1950 as they were imported and distributed in the Greek market by Olympia, a company which continued to distribute Colgate-Palmolive products even after the establishment of the Greek firm and the domestic production of products, until 1974. In 1963, a small soap and toothpaste plant was built in Athens (Petrou Ralli St.), and in 1964 a contract was signed for the construction and leasing of the company’s new plant on 89 Athens St., Piraeus.

The years 1966 and 1967 have both been an important milestone for the company, as the construction of its new plant was completed and started operation. Up to 1973, the firm’s production continued to grow and several new products were launched. From 1985 to 1995, Colgate-Palmolive Greece restructured its entire production process and organization, making major changes in the operation of the plant and gradually increasing foreign import of cosmetics. Also, in 1987, started operating a fully integrated plastic bottles and caps facility. At the same time, in 1990, it founded and started operating a special Department of Oral Hygiene Medicinal Products.

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 was among the first generation of co-financed projects awarded in Greece during the ‘90s, and essentially paved the way for the execution of future successful concession contracts, in Greece and 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 entire 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 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 road 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, the firm reported a slight drop in sales to 159.7 million euros against 162.4 million euros in 2103. Pre-tax income also slid, falling by 21.29 percent to 54.1 million euros compared to 68.7 million euros a year earlier.

DIAMONDS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY 2016

Historical background In 1889 ‘electricity’ came to Greece. The General Contracting Company built the first electrical power plant in Athens. Thessaloniki, at the time still under Turkish occupation, was to see electrical light in the same year, when a Belgian Company was commissioned by the Turkish authorities to build a power plant.

Ten years later multinational electricity companies made their appearance in Greece. The American company Thomson - Houston, together with the National Bank of Greece, founded the Hellenic Electricity Corporation which undertook the electricity supply of other major Greek cities. By 1929, 250 cities with a population of over 5,000 were supplied with electrical power.

In the most remote areas, the supply of electricity was undertaken by local authorities or individuals who constructed small-scale power plants.

In 1950 there were about 400 companies in Greece involved in the generation of electrical energy.

The raw material they used was fuel oil and coal which were both imported from abroad.

This fragmented power generation, together with the imports of fuel, pushed the price of electricity, supplied only during specific hours in the day.

Industrial and rural needs imposed the uniform electrification of the country. In this view, the following conditions had to be met: ● Utilization of domestic resources. ● Integration of power generation into a single interconnected system . ● Creation of a single organization.

Thus, in August 1950, the Public Power Corporation was established to operate ‘in the interests of the public’. The aim of the new company was to develop and implement a national energy policy through the intensive exploitation of domestic resources.

Upon its establishment, PPC focused on the utilization of domestic energy resources and the integration of all networks into a national energy interconnected system. The rich lignite deposits began to be mined and used as the primary fuel in the lignite power plants.

At the same time, the Company constructed hydroelectric power plants at the country’s major rivers in order to exploit the hydropotential of the country.

At a fairly early stage, in 1956, it was decided that all private and municipal power generation companies were to be bought out, in order to create an integrated management organization. Gradually, PPC bought out all these companies and integrated their personnel in its own staff.

Throughout these years, PPC strived for and achieved the country’s energy autonomy, while accomplishing the most significant project of supplying Greece with electricity. At the same time, PPC has been developed to one of the bigger heavy industries of the country.

Olympia Odos is one of the largest concession projects of strategic importance for Greece, as a modern European-standards motorway, constructed to connect the Peloponnese with Central Greece and Europe. The project includes the design, construction, maintenance and operation of the 201.5-km Elefsina-Korinthos-Patra road axis.

The concession project, of a contracted 30-year duration, is funded partly by the Greek State and the European Union, but mainly through private investments by strong Greek and foreign companies with a long and successful history in constructing high quality and cost-effective infrastructure projects, as well as provision of high-level operation services.

The new, modern and secure motorway will offer an upgraded and safer link with the south-western part of Greece, and in particular to and from Patras Port, the archaeological sites and tourist areas, enhancing export activities and rural production.

Olympia Odos is the only project constructed while open to traffic along its 120km, and therefore is the most challenging project currently under construction in Greece. The widening of the existing road is implemented either on one or on both sides of the motorway, depending on the case.

At the same time, high quality operation services are provided both for the completed sections and the challenging section of Korinthos - Patra, which is still under construction.

Patrols, emergency teams and maintenance staff, in cooperation with the Traffic Police, Fire Brigade and private road assistance companies, are on the alert to provide drivers with road assistance in case of emergency, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, as well as securing the high standard corrective and preventive maintenance of the network.

HELLENIC GAS TRANSMISSION SYSTEM OPERATOR SA

Pivotal role in the country’s energy sector The Hellenic Gas Transmission System Operator (DESFA) S.A. was founded in March 2007 following legislation ratified in 2005 for the natural gas market’s liberalization and alignment with an EU directive. DESFA was established as a subsidiary company of DEPA, the Public Gas Corporation.

The National Natural Gas System (NNGS) sector was transferred from DEPA to DESFA. The NNGS, as defined by Greek law, includes the National Natural Gas Transmission System (pipelines with design pressure above 19 barg) and the LNG terminal station on Revythousa, an islet in the Saronic Gulf, close to Athens. Through the transfer, DESFA acquired the full and exclusive right to the operation, management, exploitation and development of the NNGS. DESFA is also the owner of the NNGS. A presidential decree in 2007 also established procedures for the transfer of personnel for DEPA to DESFA. In 2010, following a bilateral agreement between Greece and Russia, South Stream – Greece SA was established for the South Stream natural gas pipeline’s Greek segment, as a joint venture between Russia’s Gazprom and DESFA SA, on a fifty-fifty basis. The company’s headquarters are located in the Greek capital’s northern suburb of Halandri.

Nikolaos Papadakis, President and CEO

Thessaloniki Water Supply & Sewerage Co. S.A., trading as EYATH S.A. was founded in 1998 following a merger of Thessaloniki Water Supply Organization S.A. (OYTH S.A.) and Thessaloniki Sewerage Organization S.A. (OATH S.A.). Prior to that, in 1997, OYTH and OATH, which had been bodies governed by public law, had been converted into S.A. companies.

EYATH is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. It is governed by the provisions of Codified Law 2190/1920 on societes anonyme (Government Gazette 135/A) and in a supplementary manner by the provisions of Chapter II of Law 2937/2001 (Government Gazette 169/A) and Law 3016/2002 as amended by Law 3091/2002. The company is supervised by the Ministries of Economy & Finance and Macedonia-Thrace, and its effective term is 99 years, running from 3.11.1998 to 3.11.2097. The initial Articles of Association were approved by decision No. ΕΓΑ/606/26-7-2001 (Government Gazette 989/30.7.2001) and the company holds Companies Register No. 41913/06/B/98/32.

Interministerial Commission on Privatisation Decisions No. 563/17.10.2000 and No. 605/27.07.2001 resolved to list the company on ATHEX. This was achieved by selling off the shares from the share capital increase and selling off existing shares owned by the Greek State, which had been its exclusive shareholder up to that point.

EYATH’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on 27.7.2001 unanimously decided to increase the share capital and list the company’s shares on the Main Market of ATHEX. In 2015, the company reported flat sales at 73.05 million euros against 73.69 million euros a year earlier. Pre-tax income rose marginally (1.8%) to 20.70 million euros compared to 20.33 million euros in 2014.

For half a century now, ALUMINIUM OF GREECE, has been a pillar of the Greek heavy industry sector. It was established in 1960 by Pechiney, the French metallurgy giant of the time, with the aim to exploit the rich bauxite deposits of Central Greece for production o alumina and aluminium. In 2005, ALUMINIUM became a member of the MYTILINEOS Group and today is Europe’s most modern vertically-integrated alumina and aluminium production and trading plant.

The company currently employs directly and indirectly some 40,000 people and is posting sales figures in excess of 2.0 billion euros or 0.7% of the country’s GDP. Headquartered in Agios Nikolaos, Prefecture of Viotia, on the northern coast of the Corinthian Gulf, the industrial complex of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE occupies an area of 750 hectares and employs 1,100 people directly and more than 400 indirectly, all of them residents of the wider region. Since its establishment to date, the Company has been a catalyst for local growth and is proud to support –and be supported by– generations of employees who are the driving force of an industry that develops pioneering know-how at a global level.

The company markets three products: Bauxite, Alumina and Aluminium. Bauxite, mined by DELPHI-DISTOMON, is the basic raw material for the production of alumina and aluminium. Alumina is the industrial product derived from bauxite ore and is used to produce primary cast aluminium, as well as other non-metallurgical products (abrasives and insulating materials, refractory materials, detergents, pharmaceuticals and substances used in the treatment of water). ALUMINIUM OF GREECE produces primary cast aluminium by electrolyzing calcined (anhydrous) alumina. The Company’s production plant comprises of: Anodes Line, Electrolysis Line, Foundry Line and Production Support Line. The industrial complex of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE is one of Europe’s most modern vertically-integrated production plants and the largest of its kind in SE Europe. The complex, located in the coastal area of Agios Nikolaos, Viotia, is strategically positioned in the centre of the mountainous region defined by Mt Helikon, Mt Parnassus and Mt Giona – Greece’s major bauxite deposits zone.

In 2014, ALUMINIUM OF GREECE successfully completed its competition recovery program, FUTURE, which resulted to a noticeable cost reduction. With regard to production, the firm hit a historical record both in the production of alumina hydrate, as a result of the historical performance of the pumping availability index, and the generation of Electrolysis (liquid metal), as a result of the activation of its project for increasing electricity intensity in the Basins of Electrolysis. The increase in the production of liquid metal also favored the production of Foundry end products. Sales of alumina hydrate, a product that earns high margins for ALUMINIUM, maintained its market share, amounting to 134,000 tonnes. Aluminum sales focused for another year in high added value products.

METRO SA

Counting 250 sales points in Greece

Aristotelis Panteliadis, Vice President & CEO

Turnover

METRO was founded in 1976, by a cooperative formed by 8 grocers, and has always been a company of Greek interests. METRO comprises two store networks with a total of 112 stores currently in operation; METRO Cash & Carry, a wholesale chain that runs 46 stores throughout Greece, and My market, a supermarket chain with 66 stores mainly in Attica and South Greece. In February 2016, the company acquired the Veropoulos supermarket chain, a move aimed at expanding its presence in strategic points throughout Greece, reaching up to 250 sales points and a staff of 900. The company strives to contribute to the strengthening of the Greek economy and local entrepreneurship. It endeavors to support Greek workers, suppliers, producers, consumers and independent operators. It promotes small-scale production from every corner of Greece. Highlighting this policy, 115 out of the 1240 company suppliers are small Greek producers, often very small family businesses.

“My market” outlets by the end of 2015 numbered 66 retail shops, mainly in Attica and the region of southern Greece, with sales areas of 1200 - 1000 sq.m. or 350 - 650 sq.m. (My market Easy). METRO Cash & Carry, with 46 sales points of 2500-3500 sq.m. is Greece’s chain with the largest network of wholesale stores, justly claiming the place of market leader. The firm’s objective is to gain a strong presence in as many Greek cities and regions by supporting independent agents and giving them the opportunity to take supplies of their desired products at the best value for money. In 2008 the company made a major investment valued at 35 million euros in an ultra-modern distribution center in Inofyta, the largest in Greece, to optimise distribution of goods nationwide for both chains.

In 2014, amidst tough market conditions, the firm reported a marginal drop in sales to 697 million euros against 600 euros a year earlier. Pre-tax earnings dropped to 17 million euros compared to 19 million euros in 2013. Significantly, the supermarket chain continues its investment program, valued at 10.9 million euros in 2013 and 12 million euros in 2014.

PENTE SA

Galaxias, the Greek supermarket

Turnover

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 (approx. 1000 euros) 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 staff of 3,500. The company has established an incentive program through which top-performing employees are awarded prizes and trips abroad on an annual basis. Distinguished employees are also offered the opportunity to become 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.

The Coloplast history It all started back in 1954. Nurse Elise Sørensen was concerned by the dramatic change in her sisters lifestyle following an ostomy operation. Thora no longer dared to go out, fearing that her stoma would leak in public. Elise was determined to help her sister out of her isolation.

She came up with the idea of an ostomy bag with an adhesive ring, which would make it fit tightly to the skin. This would prevent leakage and give her sister – and thousands of people like her – the chance to return to their normal life.

Since then, Coloplast activities expanded to include ostomy care products, incontinence management products and neurogenic bowel and skin care products and skin ulcers. The way Coloplast people work in the undertaking keeps alive the spirit of Elise and its founders.

The company has recently been named one of the top 100 innovative companies of all industrial sectors. Meanwhile the company is launching a new R&D strategy pledging to invest a total amount of 11, 5 billion euro over the next years.

Headquartered in France, L' Oréal Paris’ presence spans some 130 countries, having at its core a philosophy of innovation and offering the best products at best prices to as many consumers possible. The group remains at the top of the global cosmetics market, employing a staff of 78,600, and enjoying a market share of nearly 29%. Its sales in 2014 rose to 25.26 billion euros against 22.53 billion euros a year earlier, with profit increasing to 4.39 billion euros compared to 3.89 billion euros in 2013.

The firm’s source of inspiration includes several global symbols from the world of arts, fashion and beauty, as well as passionate and talented people, men and women of all ages and backgrounds.

Besides the company’s ambition is to create the largest range of products in order to meet the multidimensional world that surrounds us.

L’ Oréal researchers use the latest scientific discoveries to develop exclusive, innovative and safe products, whose use is understandable by all. The company’s mission is to make scientific innovations accessible to everyone. It is the undisputed leader in the fragrances and cosmetics industry, offering a wide range of popular products.

In Greece, L’ Oréal products appeared in the mid-1930s, and 40 years later the French group decided to establish a subsidiary in Greece. However, its factory operating in Greece since the early 1970s was destroyed in an Athens 1999 earthquake.

L’ Oréal Hellas operates four distribution channels for cosmetics: hair salons, pharmacies, selective and wide distribution. Its Avlona-based Logistics Center processes 190,000 orders and 13,000 codes per year.

In 2014, the Greek subsidiary reported a slight increase in sales to 116.36 million euros against 114.14 million euros a year earlier. Pre-tax income also rose to 9.93 million euros compared to 8.08 million euros in 2013.

Famar is arguably the Greek pharmaceutical company for which the motto “strength in unity” applies to a greater extent than any other rival firm, given it has collaborated with some 150 international pharmaceutical companies, offering its products in four continents.

Being a member of the Marinopoulos Group, Famar’s primary activity is to produce products for third parties, especially multinational companies, for which the firm produces over 770 million units, or about 5,500 different product codes that are distributed in over 120 countries.

Famar was founded in 1949 and maintains facilities in five European countries. In Greece, the company facility is located in the southern Athens suburb of Alimos, while production activity takes place at its modern facilities in Avlona, 50 km north of Athens. The company’s turnover in 2014 is estimated to reach 455 million euros, while its workforce throughout Europe exceeds 3,200 employees.

Through a series of strategic moves made in the 1990s, Famar climbed to a leading position in the Greek market. In 1990, the company acquired a factory from Ciba-Geigy in Anthoussa, northeastern Athens. Three years later, Famar acquired a Pfizer plant in Avlona. It also incorporated the business unit of Sandoz and, in 1999, acquired a unit from Roche in Bladel, Netherlands. In 2000, Famar bought a SmithKline Beecham production facility in Italy. In 2001, the company entered the French market, where it acquired a Novartis production unit for solid and liquid pharmaceutical forms, as well as an Aventis Pharma unit for solid pharmaceutical products. The following year, Famar acquired the Sephora distribution center in Boigny.

In 2004, Famar acquired an additional plant in France, a production unit for solid and liquid pharmaceutical forms, from Aventis. In 2007, it acquired an industrial plant for sublimated and cytostatic medicines from Abbott. Two years later, Famar bought a factory for production of liquid and semisolid pharmaceutical forms from Johnson & Johnson. In 2011, Famar also stepped into Spain by purchasing a factory from Sanofi in Madrid.

Famar exports 70% of its production. Backed by 11 production facilities, four in Greece and seven abroad (France, Italy, Netherlands and Spain), and a distribution center in Thebes, northwest of Athens, Famar is one of the largest independent producers for drug companies in Europe and internationally. It produces medicines for some 150 multinationals.

In 2014, the parent company in Greece posted turnover of 125.7 million euros, compared to 131.54 in 2013. Profits rose to 9.89 million euros against 6.77 million euros a year earlier.

In 2015, approx. 300,000 containers were transited, down 51% compared to 600,000 containers in 2014.

Car Terminal The increasing demand for transit vehicles in the Eastern Mediterranean, Black Sea and North Africa places Piraeus is seen a driving force for growth.

The completion of the new port-side railway station, as well as its connection with the G2 car terminal in July 2013 and future expansions of the Car Terminal – as part of PPS’s five-year investment plan – combined with the use of information at all stages with the implementation of an integrated management system, ensure that the port of Piraeus can be a central transshipment gateway for the Mediterranean region. In 2015, the car terminal received about 340,000 cars, down 5% compared to 360,000 cars a year earlier.

Conventional Cargo Handling and storage of general cargo is primarily done through the facilities of PPA in the Schisto site. Loading and unloading of general cargo is done by cranes, forklifts and tractors of various types. The Schisto facilities also offer special warehouses for general cargo storage.

In 2015 passenger traffic in the Piraeus port amounted to some 8.4 million of domestic passengers (ferry and Argosaronic Islands) and another 1.6 million cruise passengers, while the number of ships totalled 14,500 passenger boats and 2878 cargo vessels.

A series of new innovative products followed, such as the HP-75C, the first hand-held computer. HP delivered its first laptop, the HP-110, in 1984.

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 7,875,703.73 €

Italian-Swiss shipping giant Mediterranean Shipping Company is a privately-owned, global enterprise operating a network of over 480 offices in 150 countries. It employs a team of over 24,000 dedicated individuals.

The company has an established fleet of 465 container vessels with an intake capacity of 2.44 million TEU, based on latest figures. The global sailing schedules cover 200 routes, calling at 315 ports, allowing the company to deliver cargo almost anywhere in the world.

Mediterranean Shipping Company’s sea freight offering is complemented by its integrated warehousing and haulage services, which enable the company to offer true door-to-door service.

The company employs trained, experienced experts for its full range of services, including reefer, out-of-gauge, breakbulk and trade services suited to various business natures. This allows the company to maintain the personal service it is globally recognized for.

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 collect, 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 the president of MSC Greece, Christina Theodorika, will require the company to relocate to a larger Piraeus base. The company’s move to establish a new center in Piraeus further bolsters the shipping cluster being developed at Piraeus port, also contributing to the effort being made to reduce the country’s alarming unemployment problem.

In 2014, the firm reported a rise in sales to 50.93 million euros against 48.79 million euros a year earlier, up 4.38%. Net profit jumped 86.5% to 7.88 million euros against 4.22 million euros in 2013.

They have a very strong record in home games, with the club’s home ground Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium being one of the most fearsome and strong home grounds in Europe. This has been proved by some long-standing unbeaten sequences, with Olympiacos staying unbeaten for 15 straight Champions League matches.

In 2010, Evangelos Marinakis, a successful shipping magnate, bought the team from Sokratis Kokkalis. During the first year of his presidency, Marinakis appointed fans’ favourite Ernesto Valverde as coach (for a second tenure in the club) and signed several players with international magnitude.

SOYA MILLS SA

From flour and vegetable oils to biofuel

Turnover 210,275,761.00 €

Established in 1970, Soya Mills SA remains one of the biggest firms in the field of production and marketing of soya and soybean oil, with privately-owned facilities in the Corinth region, west of Athens. The firm processes and trades soybean oil and olives. To reach the market, raw oils are first processed at a modern facility operated by the firm. Soya Mills was the first company in Greece to engage in the production of soybean oil, while the firm is also active in the trade of large quantities of corn, barley, oats and wheat.

Though the acquisition of an olive oil production company, renamed to Hellenic Fine Oils (HFO), Soya Mills also expanded into the specific field and is now active in the production and packaging of olive oil, with exports to China, Japan and Brazil.

A highly significant development for the firm has been its acquisition of a 51% stake in biofuel producer GF Energy, a move valued at 17 million euro, partly financed by EU subsidy programs.

The business, whose production is based on a fully automated and environmentally friendly facility, offers a biofuel alternative for farmers. Many Soya Mills 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.

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 Mrs Marina Ofloudi-Giarvroglou, is to “achieve steady prices and quality of olive oil, so that we can export.”

In 2014, the firm saw its pre-tax earnings jump to 7.8 million euros compared to 4.81 million euros a year earlier. However, turnover dropped slightly to 210.28 million euros against 212.81 million euros in 2013.

VITAFARM - Pharmaceutical Centre SA is one of the largest and most dynamic wholesale distributors of medicinal and related products in Greece, concentrating mainly on supplying pharmacies in the Macedonia region. It is a member of the Lelos Group, the largest wholesale pharmaceutical group (with a total of 9 members) in Greece serving 2,500 pharmacies nationwide.

VITAFARM, a purely Greek company, started out in 2001 with its head office located at a 3,000 m2 privately owned facility in Pylaia, Thessaloniki, about 5 km from Macedonia Airport. Since its formation, it has seen its financial figures grow steadily as it continues on its successful course, even now and despite the crisis affecting the entire Greek pharmaceutical industry. Since 2001, VITAFARM has continually grown its customer base and now serves an average of 600 pharmacies throughout Macedonia.

Since its founding, it has made ongoing investments in new technologies in order to stay ahead of the competition. Aside from its modern pharmaceutical warehouses, it has a completely automated order fulfilment system made by KNAPP, the well-known Austrian company, for managing fast-moving products. In May, it began operating a new section based on the autonomous ROWA robotic system by the German company CareFusion that enables optimal management of slow-moving products and real-time monitoring of their expiry dates. The entire system - from receiving the items and packing them until the company drivers deliver them to the pharmacies - is monitored electronically in real time using RF scanners and PDAs. This process minimises errors (less than 99%) in addition to fully documenting all stages of the process.

VITAFARM also markets the Stirixis private label, its own complete line of orthopaedic products, available only through pharmacies. Since 2015, the Stirixis line has been enhanced with a number of new products, such as hand and foot care, plasters, first aid products and items for treating specific conditions, such as nasal strips and herpes patches, and is gaining an ever-growing number of

consumers. VITAFARM is also the exclusive importer on the Greek market of new, innovative lines of products made by renowned European companies, such as diagnostic devices (MédicAID) and pregnancy tests (Prelude), products for tattoo care (TattooMed) and aids for taking medications in tablet form for patients with difficulty swallowing (Gloup).

The company is certified to ISO 9001:2008 and its operation has also been certified by the National Organisation for Medicines in accordance with European Commission guidelines on Good Distribution Practice of medicinal products. It adheres to strict quality control procedures, including monitoring delivery truck routes through GPS using Vodafone’s Zelitrack service, real-time monitoring of all cold storage areas, through Vodafone’s Cabinet service and limiting access to areas by non-authorised personnel. The company also maintains a system from HWgroup for electronically monitoring temperature and humidity in real time by collecting data from 12 sensors distributed throughout the facility.

Since 2013, the company has also been working to find solutions that are in line with new environmental standards. Some examples include the use of an electrical conveyor belt and compactor system to automatically collect, discard and crush carton boxes, installing tubular skylight on the roof of its facility, and using LED lamps where necessary, thus significantly reducing its energy footprint.

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.

Beiersdorf is a company that carries the title of the inventor of modern skin care, as its products have been identified with the daily care of people in dozens of countries, including Greece. Their brands are familiar to millions of consumers.

The renowned Nivea, Liposan, Hansaplast, Atrix, Duo, Lions have long ago won a permanent place in the cupboards and shelves of all Greeks. Nivea has been established in the market for more than a century.

One of Beiersdorf’s feature, which allowed it to dominate every market, is the development of products focusing on local characteristics and needs of consumers. The success has been the result of a combination of innovative products and strong brands, based on experience in research and development.

Beiersdorf Hellas is headquartered in Gerakas, Attica and employs a staff of about 110; it is just one of more than 150 subsidiary cosmetics companies of Hamburg-based Beiersdorf AG. For more than 130 years, the company’s primary concern has been to meet the needs of its customers.

Beiersdorf’s Nivea trademark, well-known in Greece since 1930, is the number one skin care product in the world, in addition to Eucerin, La Prairie, Liposan, 8x4 and Hansaplast. Its tesa SE subsidiary is one of the largest global producers of self-adhesive products and systems for industry, craft businesses and consumers.

“The experience, courage, perseverance and creativity are qualities that characterize a good researcher,” asserts Dr. Horst Wenck, head of Beiersdorf Front End Innovation. “Considering the fact that knowledge of the natural sciences is doubling up at least every eight years, we now know 5,000 times more than people did 100 years ago. This is reflected upon the enormous growth of the knowledge gained by Beiersdorf on the biology of the skin and the basic biological, chemical and physical principles of optimum skin treatment, and eventually upon the increase of pioneering products and materials, which have skyrocketed since the mid-1990s,” Mr Wenck adds.

The research efforts of the multidisciplinary team, consisting of biological anthropologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, immunologists and biochemists at the Hamburg-based research center are also looking into the special needs of different types of skin and age groups. Their research aimed at discovering new active substances that help the skin in metabolic processes as naturally as possible.

To achieve this goal, the team uses the latest biochemical, molecular, biological and physical analytical methods and collaborate with a global network of academic, institutional and industrial partners from the fields of research and science.

In 2014, the company’s Greek sales inched up to 55.28 million euros against 55.03 million euros a year earlier. Pre-tax income rose to 5.5 million euros compared to 3.8 million euros in 2013.

HALYPS BUILDING MATERIALS SA CONSTRUCTION

Remaining steady amidst tough market conditions

Industrial

Halyps Building Materials SA is a company operating in cement activity under the brand name “Halyps Cement,” as well as in aggregates activity under the brand name “Halyps Quarries” and in the concrete activity under the brand name “Et Beton”. It runs three production plants serving the wider Athens region. Halyps Building Materials SA has established a subsidiary, Eurotech Cement SH.P.K., in Durres, Albania, which operates a Cement Terminal.

The parent company, Italcementi Group, a leading European cement producer and the world’s third largest, has consistently made significant investments in Greece with the aim of increasing capacity and efficiency, improving product quality and working conditions for employees, as well as adequately protecting the environment from the impact of its activities. Italcementi Group’s activities in Greece are motivated by its corporate values and identity, as well as the company’s 70-year presence in the country’s cement and building materials market. In spite of the lack of liquidity as a result of capital controls in Greece and the financial crisis hitting the country since 2009, Halyps Building Materials has successfully managed to secure its assets and the continuity of its operations. However, even though the volumes of cement sold have dropped compared to previous years due to the decelerating pace of the construction sector, the company managed to maintain its level of margin. The firm’s net sales dropped by -13.2%, while the decrease of its operating income was limited to -3.6% considering also some sale of Co2 in 2014 that did not occur in 2015. Net losses in 2015 dropped to 5.4 million euros against 6.5 million euros a year earlier.

Elpen the pioneering Greek pharmaceutical company has marked a 50-year course of significant progress. It remains steadily dedicated to excellent quality and to the research of novel therapies.

The vision of its Founder Mr.Dimitrios Pentafragas is served by Elpen, thusly implementing as a primary criterion to its strategic choices and decision, the motto: Caring For Mankind. Within this context, the company has invested well over 7% of its turnover in research programs, while maintaining since 1996 Greece’s largest research center of Applied Biomedical Research, while also being one of the largest such centers in Europe!

Elpen enjoys a significant presence in all the basic therapeutic categories with medicaments of extremely high safety and therapeutic efficacy. The company holds a leading position in the medical sectors of Cardiology and Pneumonology, ranking presently as the 6th pharmaceutical company in the country, among over 400 companies presently active in Greece, both domestic and multinationals.

The development of novel drugs constitutes a primary criterion for Elpen’s strategic choices. It is for this reason that the company constantly invests in state-of-the-art pharmaceutical technology, thus leading the way for novel, high-quality drugs and significant therapeutic value.

A significant ‘fruit’ resulting from this research endeavor is represented by the novel, patented, dry powder inhaler Elpenhaler®, a device conceived and invented by the company’s Founder and Chairman, Mr.Dimitrios Pentafragas, a device which has been approved in 27 European countries with worldwide patent approval in more than 100 countries!

Elpenhaler® is acknowledged as an extremely effective therapeutic weapon in the fight against lung diseases such as asthma and COPD. The quality of its robust construction and its user-friendly functionality certify to its durability during the extensive clinical trials it has undergone up until today.

The development of the novel dry powder inhaler Elpenhaler® led to a significant, pioneering, worldwide decision in favor of Elpen- it is the first pharmaceutical company to have ever received European marketing approval of a generic fixed-dose combination inhaler. The sector of inhaled drugs ranks among the most difficult to receive approval, with drug administration is attained by means of the Elpenhaler® dry powder inhaler device.

DIAMONDS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY 2016

Elpen attributes a significant importance to extroversion thus, constantly reinforcing exports activities of pharmaceuticals bearing its brand name. With exports of 30 pharmaceutical products in 27 European countries and 60 countries worldwide, it already constitutes a recognizable presence in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Furthermore, there are future ambitious plans underway with the objective to expand its powerful presence in the world markets.

Since 2012, Elpen has established a subsidiary in Germany, Elpen Pharma GmbH, a company which has already won the respect and trust of German doctors. The manufacturing know-how and the high quality of Elpen pharmaceutical products have led to the establishment of long-term business collaborations with international pharmaceutical companies aimed at the manufacturing of products in its state-of the art facilities, and the supply of medical training and promotion services.

Contributing to our fellow man and society at large, are concepts which represent a perennial compass in the progress of Elpen. This has been practically proven over many years by means of the company’s significant activities in a multitude of Corporate Social Responsibility projects. The company recently sponsored the Greek Anticancer Society in the way of offering free nationwide mammograms for women belonging to vulnerable social groups. This project is testament to the sincerity and seriousness with which Elpen regards its Social Responsibility, an act motivated by neither marketing nor business strategies, granted that Elpen is not a manufacturer nor vendor of oncology medicaments.

Elpen, the pioneering Greek pharmaceutical company actively supports the nation’s economy and employment sectors, creating values which contribute to Development. It is characteristic that during the bleak times of crisis and extreme economic insecurity, the Elpen Group of Companies has managed to reinforce its human resources sector by supporting a staff of 900 employees.

Moreover, it has aimed at promoting a people-centric working environment while functioning as a model European company.

In 1954, under the guidance of his father and FAGE founder Athanassios, Ioannis Filippou helped create the first wholesale distribution network for yogurt in Greece. By 1964, Ioannis and his brother Kyriakos opened the company’s first yogurt production facility in the Athens suburb of Galatsi.

Nowadays, FAGE is a leading international dairy company with a focus on yogurt, holding the leading market position in the Greek yogurt market. FAGE manufactures, distributes and sells a wide range of dairy products, including yogurt, dairy desserts, milk, cream and cheese. The company has three facilities in Greece that serve all of the markets outside of the Americas and have the capacity to expand their production to accommodate expected increases in demand in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and other international markets. It also owns distribution units in the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany and a comprehensive distribution network in Greece. FAGE products are distributed to approximately 280 supermarket chains, with approximately 75,000 retail outlets in over 40 countries, primarily in the United States and throughout Europe. They are also sold to bakeries, confectionaries, dairy stores and other convenience stores. FAGE’s workforce of some 1000 qualified full-time employees puts its own personal mark on every stage of the production process.

FAGE has a significant and constantly increasing presence in the US yogurt market, with growing international sales also outside of the United States. The company’s US facility, located in Johnstown, New York commenced commercial production in April 2008 and is among the largest of the facilities in terms of production capacity as it manufactures yogurt products for the US market and the rest of the Americas. In 2016, the firm decided to leave the milk market and focus exclusively on the yogurt sector, in order to meet the needs arising primarily in foreign markets, given that foreign sales in 2015 accounted for as much as 82.4 pct of its total sales.

In 2015, the group posted an increase in sales to 162.79 million euros, compared to 158.58 million euros a year earlier. Gross profit almost doubled to 11.6 million euros against 6.32 million euros in 2014. In 2015, the firm’s total staff numbered just under 700 employees.

Turnover 77,149,640.00 €

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES

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 of 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 of fresh sheep and cow milk collected 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, with Panagiotis Tsinavos as president and managing director, the company’s products, ice cream, yogurt and fresh milk, are distributed extensively to both supermarkets and smaller retail outlets. Kri Kri also exports to more than 10 countries. The company’s headquarters and main production plant are located in Serres. The company holds a majority stake (60%) 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 its presence in both European and international markets. It based its export efforts on two key areas: understanding the unique needs of other countries and offering products of high nutritional value and quality.

As a technology company we always ask ourselves whether our clients are satisfied with the business outcome they are seeing. Our point of view is to focus evermore on the work flow, believing that the next frontier for driving real progress will come from improving the work itself.

Xerox is uniquely positioned to have this conversation, given that work is a domain that we are associated with. We are experts in work flow, document management and business process across a wide range of industries. This is the same conversation we have been having with our clients since the early inception of our company, when Chester Carlson, the inventor of xerography, had to improve that very basic of business processes which was the way people shared information.

Vianex - The living history of the Greek pharmaceutical industry VIANEX is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Greece, not only compared to other Greek companies, but also to multinationals.

After more than 90 years of activity in the pharmaceutical industry, in many ways the Giannakopoulos family could be regarded as a living history of Greek pharmaceutical production.

It all started in 1924, when the first pharmacy opened on Piraeus Street.

The first stepping stone towards the creation of Vianex was laid in 1960, when Paul Giannakopoulos founded Pharmagian, an importer of medicinal products from the US and Europe, that began operations across Greece. Pharmagian soon began to represent major international pharmaceutical companies, including Janssen, Roussel and Alcon, and expanded its business abroad.

The first major milestone came in 1971, when Paul Giannakopoulos, President and Founder of VIANEX SA, building on the company’s spectacular growth, signed agreements with pharmaceutical companies of international repute, including Merck & Co (USA), Takeda Chemical Industries (Japan), Sigma Tau Industries (Italy), Eli Lilly (USA), which entrusted the company with the production and representation of their products in the Greek market.

The company’s industrial activity started in 1977, with the establishment of its first factory, which specialised in the manufacturing of sterile, liquid and semi-solid products and suspensions.

In 1983, VIANEX acquired its second factory. This was an innovative, environmentally friendly pharmaceutical plant, which specialises in the manufacture of non-sterile solid forms (tablets, capsules, granules).

Two years later, the company boosted its manufacturing activities with the acquisition of its third factory.

The third factory is considered one of the largest and most modern manufacturing plants of lyophilised injectables in Europe. It houses separate production lines for sterile injectables (lyophile, solutions, suspensions), a special plant manufacturing cytotoxic gels, and a special R&D laboratory with two pilot lyophilisers where research is carried out into lyophilisation, as part of cooperative research with universities and research organisations.

In 1995, its subsidiary VIAN SA was founded to distribute and market well-known non-prescription pharmaceutical products, food supplements, and diagnostic and parapharmaceutical products.

In 1997, VIANEX established its headquarters and the distribution centre for its finished products in Varibobi.

DIAMONDS OF THE GREEK ECONOMY 2016

In 1999, VIANEX acquired its fourth factory, considered one of the most sophisticated of the few cephalosporin manufacturing plants in Europe.

In 2006, the company incorporated Eldrug, a company active in research and development, and in 2011 VIANEX was approved as a supplier by the World Health Organization and UNICEF. 2013 was another important year for the group, which, now led by Dimitris Giannakopoulos, signed an agreement with Eli Lilly for the annual production of 10,000,000 units of vancomycin, 100% of which is exported to China.

In 2015, VIAN SA started marketing and distributing Depon, the best-selling analgesic-antipyretic products, following an agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb.

An important fact is the announcement of a new agreement with the pharmaceutical company, MSD, signed in early 2016, renewing, in the best manner possible, 33 years of successful cooperation.

Today, VIANEX leads the Greek pharmaceutical industry, with a high-level production capacity and a workforce exceeding 1,100 employees. Its activities involve all aspects of pharmaceutical production and marketing, and it constantly upgrades the range of its services to the market. Despite the adverse economic conditions in recent years, Vianex has been pursuing new, major cooperation with international pharmaceutical companies, aiming to import innovative pharmaceutical products into the domestic market.

Operating in a highly competitive environment, Vianex is well positioned to capitalise on opportunities, relying on its experience, know-how and its unique and specialised production capacity.

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES 3,932,301.00 €

EURIMAC is a joint-venture formed by a strategic partnership between the well-known Greek pasta company MACVEL SA, operating in Greece and Europe since 1939, and EURICOM Spa, an Italian group of companies producing pasta, flour and rice. Eurimac was founded in May 1996 in the Kilkis industrial zone and employs a specialized staff with many years of experience in the manufacture of pasta products.

The company specializes in the manufacture of own-label products and has invested heavily in the construction of a state-of-the-art pasta production plant, implementing the highest quality and hygiene standards, with an annual production capacity of over 72,000 tons.

At the end of 2006 work was completed on a processing mill for durum wheat, adjacent to the factory, which allowed for further improvement in the quality of semolina and a further cut in production costs, making the company 100% vertically integrated.

In addition, Eurimac has invested significantly in the full automation of the packaging section for the various types of pasta it produces. In June 2010, a 9,000-pallet-strong warehouse was commissioned at the production plant, one of the largest of its kind in Greece.

The company’s main activity, apart from the sale of pasta in the Greek market, is the export of pasta products to more than 45 countries across the globe, either under its own brand names or privately labeled.

The entire production, packaging and storage procedures are certified under the most widely recognized standards for food quality and safety, specifically ΕΝ ISO 9001:2000, EN ISO 22000:2005, BRC, & IFS 5, making EURIMAC one of the most reliable companies in the industry worldwide.

The first and best-known family of pastas produced by the parent company is the iconic MACVEL range, first launched back in 1939. During the years that followed, with the export business beginning to dominate operations, production was expanded to introduce new brands, either in response to the demands of foreign customers, or as a result of innovations by the associates. Thus, the range was expanded to include several brands, including Latino, Famiglia, Grande Pasta, Mama Mia, Bevellini, etc.

In 2014, even though the firm posted higher profitability, it saw sales drop slightly to 29.23 million euros compared to 30.19 million euros a year earlier. Pre-tax earnings rose 16% to 3.93 million euros, against 3.38 million euros in 2013.

Founded in 1980, under the company name BSB, the enterprise switched to its new name, B&F, in August 2014. It entered the business of producing and trading women’s clothing. In more recent years, the firm has also made a dynamic entry into the sector of women’s accessories, shoes, underwear, and swimsuits. In 2007, the firm, in a joint effort with AMVIS, launched a pioneering sunglasses and reading glasses series, making these available at optical shops and selected BSB outlets. As a result, the firm now offers a comprehensive range of products, or total look, for women.

Nowadays, the firm holds a leading place in the women’s fashion sector with 100 stores in Greece and abroad, as well as over 200 multi-brand stores where its brand is available. The firm holds the exclusive rights for design and production of clothing created by the well-known UK brand Forever Friends. In early 2008, B&F became the first company to create a new eco-friendly clothing series made entirely of organic cotton.

Remaining true to its export orientation, the firm, in recent years, has invested in its development abroad. Having started as a small-scale industry in the 80s, the firm recently managed to open its 100th store, in London. It is present in Turkey, and runs a total of 34 outlets abroad, including Romania, Cyprus, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Bulgaria, Albania, Moldova and Armenia. Plans for the launch of new outlets in Russia and Dubai have been put on hold as the ongoing recession in Greece has forced the firm to retreat. Even so, the achievements made to date are lofty.

At present, B&F employs a staff of 250 full-timers, as well as over 300 through franchised outlets.

B&F staff receives training on a on-going basis, making it a very significant component in the company’s endeavors.

Spread over 20,000 square meters on a plot of land measuring 2.6 hectares, the facility includes the firm’s administrative division, as well as logistics, tailoring, and quality-control departments.

Johnson & Johnson is a dynamic multinational giant operating in the markets of consumer, pharmaceutical and medical products.

The group has more than 250 subsidiaries in 60 countries employing a staff of some 128,700.

Investing in new production lines or transferring to Greece activity from other markets, the multinational group expects to further strengthen one of the biggest and most modern factories operated by the multinational firm.

Notably, in the consumer goods sector, the company produces OTC products (non-prescription drugs), as well as skin care, baby care, feminine and oral hygiene products. The group’s factory in Greece is one of the three J&J’s European consumer product factories. Already, as much as 95% of Greek production is exported to more than 35 countries, while the company has the flexibility required to manage costs and remain competitive.
