Elais Unilever increases local investment

Elais Unilever Hellas wants to invest more on the local market with 250 million euros over the last six years

Elais Unilever Hellas yesterday unveiled plans to transfer produce and products from abroad to Greece. This is just the latest step in the company’s investment in Greece that has totaled over 250 million euros over the last six years.

The company transferred the production of over 110 codes and products from other countries to Greece from the end of 2012 until March, 2014. 70% of these 110 codes are produced in Greece.

“The challenge for Unilever is to demonstrate that sustainable, environmental practices and positive social actions not only bring good economic results but also open up new avenues for innovation,” said Elais Unilever Hellas President Iro Athanasiou, who says that the first six months of 2014 showed a return to growth.
