The Company Since 1949, when "PAPAYIANNIS BROS S.A." began as a small family business in Larissa, creating sesame halva with love and tradition, we have written a history of authenticity, quality, and growth. {{current_slide_index}} {{total_slide_count}} 1949 At the heart of production, there is always sesame. From it come our most well-known products: halva, tahini, and pasteli. However, other superfoods have also dynamically entered our range, such as: nuts, seeds, super fruits, honey, and more. All raw materials are meticulously selected to maintain the highest possible quality in the final products while simultaneously serving modern nutritional needs. {{current_slide_index}} {{total_slide_count}} 1972 Guided by a passion for quality and taste, our growth was rapid, and in 1972 the company moved to new, modern facilities in Melissochori, Larissa. Today, it operates in facilities spanning 22,000 sq.m., serving markets all over the world. {{current_slide_index}} {{total_slide_count}} 1992 Since 1992, we have also been pioneers in the field of organic products, offering certified options such as organic tahini, halva, pasteli, nut bars, and nut spreads, which have achieved significant success in international markets and growing demand in Greece. {{current_slide_index}} {{total_slide_count}} 2008 With the aim of responding to increased demand and continuing to offer high-quality products, the company undertook a significant investment in 2008: new production lines and modern equipment, which allow for the preservation of the products' traditional taste with even greater consistency and care. {{current_slide_index}} {{total_slide_count}} 2017 In 2017, the company proceeded with the rebranding of OLYMPOS products, introducing new ergonomic packaging and a fresh, renewed image.
