The Greek Manufacturing Sector: Upcoming Prospects for the Key Players
The Greek Manufacturing Sector: Upcoming Prospects for the Key Players

Summary/Abstract: In today’s Greece, manufacturing is one of the economic sectors faced with great difficulties in coping with the new, globalized business arena. The emergence of Asian states, most notably China, along with ever-increasing domestic production costs, have cost Greek industrial manufacturers dearly, and translated into numerous job losses. On the other hand, a few enterprises have found themselves more able to withstand the competition, and have actually gained international access- as well as larger profit margins. These select companies are to be found in all areas of Greek industrial production and some have aspirations to become key players in niche markets worldwide. And from what we have seen so far, most successful of these Greek firms have shown they have the abilities to do so.The following article gives an introduction to leading Greek manufacturing firms, as well as a discussion of their international presence, their products, and key statistics. Readers should note that only corporations fully owned by Greeks will be presented, and not subsidiaries of multinational corporations.
