In 1870, Dimitris Papoutsanis founded the first steam engine powered olive oil pressing factory on the Greek island of Lesvos, situated in the Aegean. In addition to olive oil, a small quantity of pure olive oil soap was also produced. In 1913 the production facilities were transferred to Piraeus and the first, modern olive oil bar soap production lines were installed. In 1965 the plant was transferred to the Northern suburb of Athens, Kato Kifisia. Since February 2001, the new, state of the art factory of Papoutsanis is operational near Athens. The plant is the largest factory of olive oil soap production in the Balkans and one of the largest in Europe. The new manufacturing facility covers an area of 8.500 sq.m. and is equipped with the latest machinery and industrial equipment. Since then, Papoutsanis has developed and is now the largest manufacturer of olive oil bar soap and toiletry products in Greece. |
