Astir - Traditional products trade

ASTIR is a family owned business processing and standardizing agricultural traditional products.

In 1993, the Drakopoulos family established its first production plant for table olives at Ellinoekklisia, one of the villages of the Messina Municipality, as successor to the Vrakas brothers company. Their aim was to satisfy the need of both the domestic and international markets for high quality nutritious agricultural products.

In 2002 the company expands its products. New products are the natural dried Kalamata figs, packed in new innovative packaging and the extra virgin Kalamata olive oil. All products come from the wider area of ​​ancient Messina. An area famous not only for its history but also for the production of agricultural products with rich organoleptic characteristics.

Over the years, the company has expanded into the domestic market as well as overseas, providing consumers with 100% natural products of high quality and rich nutritional value. The products are exported to the countries of America, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Sweden, Bulgaria, Russia.

In 2007 the company's needs led to the creation of new installations covering an area of ​​1500 square meters. At the same time the company is certified with haccp and ELOT EN ISO 22000: 2005.

New products such as dried organic farming figs and Kalamata olive tree PDO, are certified by specialized certification companies and by the competent bodies of the state ELGO DIMITRA.

The aim of the company for the future is the continuous effort to improve the high quality of its products based on a balanced Mediterranean diet, to maintain its credibility in the market and to further its development through innovation in packaging, processing and standardization.

The company's continuous expansion into the Greek market as well as the entry of its products into new emerging markets abroad are its main objective.
