Papadopoulos (Greek: Παπαδοπουλος) is a Greek food company mostly known for its biscuits. The company was founded in 1922 in Athens, but it has its origins in 1916 Constantinople with Evangelos Papadopoulos and his family.[1][2] Their motto (Ένας κόσμος γεύσης και φροντίδας) translates to 'A world of taste and care'.
Angelos (Evangelos) Papadopoulos received financial support to buy the family`s first van from George Rockas father of Angelique Rockas who not only loaned Angelos money to buy the family`s first business van , but at the same time also offering him employment as his acting agent in Greece in managing the Rockas property portfolio.[3]
The company currently maintains four factories (Athens, Thessaloniki, Volos and Oinofyta). Papadopoulos exports to 40 countries and is honoured with various Greek and international awards.[4]
