The history of the trading company KOPANIS SA started in 1985 in the city of Lamia. Georgios and Christina Kopanis, the parents of the current owners, established their first store at 2 Dimoloulia Street, which still provides retail services. Not before long, the store became commercially successful and laid strong foundations for further development.
Continuing the successful commercial development of their parents, the two brothers, Stylianos and Ioannis Kopanis, expanded and transferred the business in 1991 at 5 Dimoloulia Street under the name G. KOPANIS & SONS Partnership. Τhe object of the business was general commerce in the fields of packaging items, detergents and a variety of paper products.
The successful development continued in the following years. As a result, in 2000, at the entrance of the city of Lamia, on Antoni Tritsi Street, the two brothers established the company KOPANIS Partnership at a new, privately-owned building, at the same time maintaining the original store in the city. The new commercial expansion is accommodated in new facilities, including a warehouse of 800 m2 and a Cash & Carry sore covering an area of 700m2. In this way, the company, through an organized ordering network, is able to quickly and effectively meet the needs of its customers.
The next and biggest commercial step was taken in 2011 with the establishment and operation of the new company KOPANIS SA at the 4th km of the Old National Road Lamia-Athens, at privately-owned facilities covering an area of 6000 m2, including 4000 m2 of modern Dry Bulk warehouses with 2800 pallet positions, and 1500 m2 of refrigeration-freezing spaces with a capacity of 1200 pallet positions.
In particular, KOPANIS SA is a modern company mainly aiming at meeting the needs of the entire supply chain. Our will to provide better services has led us to apply a certified Logistics system, i.e. the department that manages the supply chain by designing, implementing and controlling the effective forward and reverse flow of goods, services and relevant data from the point of origin to the point of consumption, so that the customers’ demands can be satisfied.
It uses enhanced services in distribution, quality products, qualified staff, and the state-of-the-art Galaxy ERP and Aberon WMS platforms for Warehouse Management.
Through a specialized multichannel sales and distribution network, it serves the National Super Market Chains (Distribution & Triangular Deliveries), Retail Market and Mass Catering enterprises by providing products of the most important Greek and foreign companies in the fields of dairy products, cured meat products, confectionary & bakery raw materials, cooking aids, catering items and frozen products.
