What Eureka does
Eureka is a Cyprus-headquartered (Limassol), family-owned consumer-goods manufacturer founded in 1959, with primary production based in Volos, Greece and an operating presence in Romania. It manufactures and sells branded home-care, hygiene, baby-care, hygiene and disinfection, and insect-control products under a portfolio of owned labels including Aroxol, Eureka Massalias, Roklin, Topine, Septona, Famozo, and Eureka Bright, distributed through supermarkets and hypermarkets across 20+ international markets as well as through B2B and private-label manufacturing contracts.
The business model combines own-brand FMCG distribution (retail-channel margin economics with shelf-space and brand-equity dynamics) with contract manufacturing for third-party private-label customers, leveraging in-house certified production at the Volos site (IFS HPC, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015). Beyond core categories, Eureka has begun extending its Cyprus wholesale channel into adjacent branded distribution — notably the July 2025 Samyang Buldak partnership and licensed confectionery lines such as Amos and Pepero — using its existing logistics footprint to capture incremental, non-core revenue.
Eureka maintains a headcount in the 251–500 range. Most recently it has executed a capacity-led expansion thesis: in November 2025 it acquired an adjacent 37,000 sq.m. property in Volos, signalling intent to scale both own-brand output and private-label manufacturing. Three product launches across 2023–2024 (AROXOL GEL PRO ANTS, AROXOL Care & Protect, Eureka Dishwashing Liquid with Vinegar and Pump) point to an active SKU-renewal cadence within existing categories rather than a strategic pivot.
