Major investment by Barba Stathis in a Thessaly factory

Greek food company Barba Stathis has begun the construction of a new factory in Thessaly, with a budget of €35 million. The industry has been under the control of Ideal Holdings since last year. This is the largest investment out of many that the company is already implementing or planning for the near future, attempting to further strengthen its leading position in two categories with high growth rates in and outside Greece: frozen vegetables and ready-made salads. The factory is to be built in the former Froza facilities in Larissa, a plan that existed even before Barba Stathis came under the control of Ideal Holdings.
