Focus on MEVGAL

A lasting history of traditional Greek dairy products

Since 1950, MEVGAL has been a leading symbol of dairy knowledge, tradition, authentic flavors, healthy products, quality standards, and innovation. In those 70 years, MEVGAL has been a point of reference on social, economic and business levels, while remaining steadily committed to wholesome values and healthy eating.

The country has products that are globally unique, in variety and quality, with features and characteristics that can be attributed to its climate and special geological conditions

Mary Chatzakou

President and Managing Director of MEVGAL

MEVGAL was one of the first Greek companies in the sector to operate overseas, with our products acting as ambassadors for the renowned Mediterranean diet. Today, our products can be found on the shelves of the largest retailers in more than 30 countries, while our exports comprise approximately 35 percent of our total turnover. The company has a significant market share in the Greek yogurt segments in Germany, Austria, Norway and Italy. One out of every five yogurts that Greece exports bears the MEVGAL logo. Our products have won international awards for innovation, such as the 2017 Innovation Award for our lactose-free yogurt at the Wabel Chilled & Dairy Summit in Paris, France, and the taste and innovation award for the Harmony Gourmet with mint at the Anuga Taste Innovation show in Cologne, Germany. Furthermore, the Brussels’ based International Taste Institute (formerly iTQi) has awarded many MEVGAL products the Superior Taste Award with 3 stars.

MEVGAL is a vibrant company that continuously aims to evolve and progress to the benefit of the people who choose our products. Between 2017 and 2018, we invested €5.3 million in the Greek yogurt sector, aiming at increasing our production capacity by 30 percent and rearranging all our Greek yogurt production lines into a new ISO 8 “clean area”, which will further protect the safety of our products. Moreover, an investment of €10 million is planned through the next three years to expand our facilities and further automate production processes. We aim to expand further in Greece and, through new partnerships, overseas as well, designing new and innovative products that offer added nutritional value, further enriching an already diverse range of approximately 500 SKUs that are produced daily.

Throughout MEVGAL’s history, there have been many important milestones, with innovative products, pioneering business initiatives and global recognition. In these 70 years, the company has been able to build a strong brand name, establishing a tradition in milk production, unrivaled quality, authentic tastes, expertise and respect for people and the high values that we have served since the beginning. These are the elements that have accompanied us throughout our history and connect the present with the past while providing a solid foundation for positive prospects in the future.

In 2020, we are celebrating 70 years of delivering authentic Greek dairy delicacies.
