What Eurotc does

EUROTC S.A. (Εμπορία Παραφαρμακευτικών Προϊόντων) is a privately held Greek pharmaceutical and parapharmaceutical distribution company headquartered in Ymittos, Attica, Greece, founded in 1976 by Ioannis Varkas. The company serves over 3,500 pharmacies nationwide in Greece through a direct sales force backed by a fully equipped delivery fleet, and also distributes to pharmaceutical warehouses and pharmacy cooperatives. Its foundational product is the Τιμοκατάλογος Φαρμάκων (Drug Price Catalog), a comprehensive drug pricing reference published continuously since 1978, distributed to every pharmacy in Greece and updated in line with Greek Ministry of Health drug price bulletins. The catalog contains active ingredient data, drug equivalents, marketing authorization holders, and prescription methods, and functions as an embedded operational reference across the Greek pharmacy channel.

The company's product portfolio combines exclusive distribution rights for several proprietary and partner brands — including BENOSTAN (Greek herbal pharmaceutical and cosmetic products), Somatoline Cosmetic and Dermatoline Cosmetic (via BOLTON Hellas), KEARR cosmetics (via S.I.P.R.E.S.), and DERMOXEN, HEMOPRAN, and LECOXEN (via MEDWORLD / Ekuberg Pharma) — with non-exclusive distribution arrangements for major multinational manufacturers such as MENARINI Diagnostics, Abbott, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, and Bayer. In February 2017 the company launched a proprietary B2B e-commerce platform enabling 24-hour online ordering by partner pharmacies with login-based access and real-time promotions. Marketing is primarily B2B via the corporate website, electronic newsletters, and the e-commerce shop.

EUROTC generates revenue through distribution and sale of pharmaceutical and parapharmaceutical products to pharmacies, warehouses, and cooperatives — a transaction-based model with no public pricing disclosure. The company has no public listing, no disclosed external investors or funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no publicly stated headcount; balance sheets for fiscal years 2013-2015 are available on the company website, but specific revenue figures are not disclosed. Operations are entirely domestic within Greece, with no evidence of cross-border expansion, and no AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or patents are documented in the available material.
