YIOTIS S.A. was founded in 1930, and its basic aim was to create products which were good both for children’s diet and their growth in an era when infant mortality was at epidemic proportions in Greece. Throughout its history, YIOTIS Company has always been in tune with society and its needs. The Company continues this tradition today as it turns its gaze to the future.
In YIOTIS Company, quality control and food safety is ensured by the existence of an independent quality control department, which is under the factory management. In total, it is staffed by 12 scientific personnel (chemists, food scientists and food technologists). It has 2 main laboratories (one at the Athens plant and one at the Agrinio plant) and four smaller control laboratories and workstations, one in each production area.
Innovation is an inseparable part of YIOTIS’s S.A. history. In 1930 it was the first company to market standardised infant and baby foods in Greece and it has been innovating ever since then.
