The relationship between the founder of PAN Zafiropoulos and vinegar goes back much further in time. In the mid-1950s, Panagiotis Zafiropoulos was fascinated by the process of turning wine into vinegar, as he learned it in his grandfather's cellar. Later, as an adult, he experiments with vinification on an amateur level.
1950
The moment arrives when he decides to turn his hobby into a profession, is taught the art by an old, very experienced axe maker and installs the first production unit in Paleo Faliro. It soon turns out that this facility is too small to meet the ever-growing demand.
1979
In 1983 the company moved to new privately owned premises in Pikermi, in the heart of the Attica vineyard. Thus begins a course of continuous growth and development, which gives it a significant share of the vinegar and related products market, while it holds a dominant position in more specialized products, such as Balsamic vinegar with honey and Balsamic vinegar with pomegranate.
1983
Four independent bottling lines are built, utilizing the latest technology. At the same time, the export of the products is started.

The company innovates and produces the first balsamic vinegars which are placed on the shelves of the super market and immediately gain the preference of consumers. For the first time in the Greek market, the company launches Balsamic Cream, bringing a completely new product category to Greek consumers.
