The creation of high-quality and innovative products requires equally high-quality and innovative tools. In this spirit, Nikolopoulou Foods and the Athanasios C. Laskaridis Public Benefit Foundation, through The People’s Trust organization, donated a modern freeze-drying machine to Myrovolos Organics for the development of a new, pioneering product — an herbal blend in cube form. The product aspires to become a point of reference in the field of functional beverages, winning over the Greek, European, and global market.
The new product is the result of close collaboration between business and scientific expertise. It was created through the company’s partnership with the University of the Aegean and the Department of Nutrition and Food Science.
The delivery and inauguration of the machine took place on Friday, December 12, at noon, at the Myrovolos Organics facilities in Chalkios, Chios. Representing Nikolopoulou Foods was the Marketing Manager, Yannis Sozos, who symbolically cut the ribbon of the machine, stating that “this initiative is not a form of charity, but part of a framework of entrepreneurial, intergenerational, and female solidarity.”
The organization “A Woman Can Be,” which supports the empowerment of women entrepreneurs in agrifood, was represented by Vanessa Archontidou and Angela Pantazi. Also present were business partners and friends of the company, as well as representatives of the local community, including Chios MP Stavros Michailidis, Deputy Regional Governor Nikos Nychtas, President of the Chios Chamber of Commerce Pantelis Legatos, President of the Chalkios Cultural Association Stamatia Vavylousaki, and Antonis Kalitsis, representing Mediterra from the Mastic Research Center — all of whom contributed decisively to the experimental stages of developing the new product.
