PVG Food Hellas

What PVG Food Hellas does

PVG Food Hellas is a privately held Greek food company, founded in 2015 and headquartered in the Platikampos area of Larissa, that processes, trades, wholesales, and exports Greek table olives. The company was established by industry veterans initially as a trading operation and vertically integrated into processing and packaging in 2018 through a proprietary production facility. Its product portfolio spans three flagship olive varieties — Halkidiki (green, elongated), Conservolea/Amfissa (round, available in green/blond/black and certified organic), and Kalamata (purple-black) — offered in multiple formats (whole, pitted, sliced, stuffed, grilled, paste) and packaging types (plastic pails, vacuum bags, pouches, and metal tins). The company's own branded line, CALYPSO OLIVES, is positioned for the HORECA food service market in metal tins.

The underlying technology is centered on physical olive curing and processing rather than digital platforms: state-of-the-art processing and packaging machinery, an advanced olive storage tank system that enables year-round supply, and a documented 7-stage quality control process spanning harvest, procurement, fermentation (debittering), selection/sorting, processing, packaging, and palletizing. The facility footprint is approximately 55,000 m2 and is supported by IFS Food, BRC Food Safety, Bio Hellas Organic, and SMETA ethical trade certifications.

Commercially, PVG operates a pure B2B export model with no disclosed retail pricing. Revenue is generated through one-off bulk and packaged sales of table olives to international wholesale buyers, importers, food service distributors, and private-label customers across three segments — Wholesale Buyers/Importers, Food Service/HORECA, and Private Label — in 25+ countries including the USA, Australia, Western and Eastern Europe, and Israel. Pricing is quote-based, tailored to customer specifications and volume, with no public price list. Annual export volume exceeds 10,000 tons of olive products per season. The company employs 51-100 people and is bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investors. A 2025-2027 investment plan funds a new production facility, two automated retail packaging lines, expanded storage, supply chain digital systems, and an autonomous solar panel system.
