What SIVVAS does

SIVVAS A.E. is a Greek industrial food processing equipment integrator founded in 1992 and headquartered in Diavatá (Thessaloniki), with regional branches in Athens and Larisa. The company operates exclusively as the Greek (and Cypriot) distribution partner for more than 43 international equipment manufacturers — including Weber (slicing), Seydelmann (grinders/tumblers), FAM (cutting), Ruhle and Guenther (injectors/tumblers), MHS (portioning), Saccardo and Ilpra (packaging), Heinen (spiral freezing), HiTec (thermal processing), Sairem (microwave), Efa and La Parmentiere (slaughterhouse), Carryline (conveyors), and Fuji Packaging (flow wrap) — and assembles those principals into complete turnkey production lines for meat, poultry, seafood, dairy/cheese, bakery, fruit/vegetable, and abattoir customers. The technical stack is integration-led rather than developed in-house: SIVVAS combines feasibility studies (used to secure European and National co-funded investment financing), industrial building design, equipment commissioning, operator training, and a 24/7 spare-parts operation with a guaranteed <12-hour response time across Greece; it also manufactures its own line of hygiene/sanitation equipment.

Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales (complete production lines and individual machines), professional services (feasibility studies, project drafting, installation supervision, training, after-sales service contracts), and a secondary recurring stream from spice mixes/food additives (Verstegen partnership) and packaging materials (Dolav, Frenox). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by trade-show presence (notably FOODTECH 2021 and 2025 with 350m2 booths); there is no e-commerce or self-serve channel, and pricing is by quotation only. The customer base of 6,754 clients across 12 application fields and 900+ completed projects indicates a broad, long-tail enterprise book primarily in Greece, with secondary reach into Cyprus and the Balkans. The company is privately held and led by Thomas Sivvas (Θωμάς Σιββάς), with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company.

Broad incumbents

• Alfa Laval: Swedish industrial equipment provider with a substantial food-and-water division covering heat transfer, separation, hygiene and fluid handling used across dairy, beverage, meat and prepared-food processing. Comparable to SIVVAS's thermal-processing and sanitation equipment offering.
• Marel: Iceland-based global leader in food processing equipment for meat, poultry, fish and feed — many of whose equipment categories (slicing, portioning, X-ray inspection, software) overlap with what SIVVAS integrates. Operates at vastly larger scale but shares the same target customer profile of industrial food processors.
• GEA Group: German industrial conglomerate with a major food processing equipment division covering separation, homogenization, freezing and packaging. Comparable to SIVVAS in equipment breadth across dairy, meat and prepared-food segments, though GEA serves customers directly as a manufacturer rather than via distribution.
• MULTIVAC: German manufacturer of packaging and portioning equipment widely used in meat, dairy and ready-meal processing. SIVVAS integrates competitive/complementary packaging solutions from Ilpra, Saccardo, Weber and SN Maschinenbau — making MULTIVAC a benchmark for the broader packaging-equipment space SIVVAS serves.
• Bühler Group: Swiss global supplier of food processing equipment with strong positions in grain milling, pasta, chocolate, convenience foods and animal feed. Comparable to SIVVAS at a portfolio level across multiple food-processing verticals, though at vastly larger scale and with proprietary technology.
• JBT Corporation: US-listed provider of food processing and air transport solutions with extensive meat, poultry, seafood and ready-meals equipment lines. Comparable to SIVVAS in serving large food processors across protein categories, though JBT sells and services equipment directly as an OEM.

Direct peers

• Heat and Control: US-based global manufacturer of food processing and packaging equipment for meat, poultry, seafood, snack and produce applications. Comparable to SIVVAS in serving the same end-market verticals (red meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables) with similar equipment categories (cooking, frying, coating, conveying, packaging).
• CFT Group: Italian food processing equipment manufacturer specializing in meat, poultry and ready-meal production lines. Closely comparable to SIVVAS's offering profile and serves Mediterranean and Southern European food processors with similar equipment (cooking, tumblers, packaging).
• Provisur Technologies: US-headquartered manufacturer of protein processing equipment (separators, forming, slicing, coating, thermal processing). Direct overlap with SIVVAS's red-meat and cold-cuts customer segments and equipment portfolio, including We-formers, slicers and tumblers.
• Baader: German family-owned manufacturer of fish and meat processing equipment with a strong presence in slaughtering, portioning and deboning. Comparable to SIVVAS in serving fish/seafood processors and abattoirs — overlapping customer base in Greek and Mediterranean markets.
