Mr. Vitogiannis, is the grandchild of the company’s founder, and has managed over the last five years to blitzkrieg his company across the international market with billions of bottle tops. 90% of his production covers the needs of 45 countries.

“The company has developed enough over the last five years, essentially doubling its size with steady, organic and healthy development each year,” says Mr. Vitogiannis in an interview with Fortune Greece. “We are continuing to lay the groundwork for further expansion and development, according to a carefully laid plan that takes into account international coincidence, possible weaknesses of the competition, and the current financial situation of our company and new opportunities we are trying to take advantage of as the situation proceeds.”
