A. Hatzopoulos, founded in 1931, is a supplier of high-end flexible packaging solutions and services, which it exports to 33 countries. It creates packaging for a range of food and non-food applications, including meat, dairy, liquid foods, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.


Product lines:


The company offers a range of printed packaging with high shelf appeal – which can include properties such as a high barrier and strength. Its specialist services, such as lamination, printing, slitting, laser scoring and lacquering, help it to develop a wide variety of packaging. As an example, for meat products it offers flowpacks, lidding films – in clear, white or antifog – films for stand-up pouches and retortable film. In pharmaceuticals, it offers cold-sealed films, strip packs, sachets and lidding films.


Factory locations:


The company has two production facilities – both in Thessaloniki – fitted with everything from pre-press equipment through slitting and laser scoring to adhesive lamination and cold-seal technology. It recently took employees through a cold-seal training course from Bobst, as it has three gravure lines from the company.
