Company

From its establishment in 1937 in a small local shop of Giannitsa to the business model it is today.

Our continued commitment in offering top quality ice cream is unwavering.

For over eight decades we have been dedicated to our long-standing relationship with our community, supplying our loyal customers with a vast array of delicious creamy ice cream products. The Papanaretos family promises ever-changing, innovative ideas in the production of our products, relying on our own long recognized traditional methods, and recipies which set us apart from the rest.

In our journey so far we have managed to create a complete range of real ice cream in professional, family and individual packages as well as ice cream cakes and mini ice creams.

Our approach

We believe that ice cream making is an art.

The approach of PAPANARETOS stems from the professionalism and know-how of its people, elements inextricably intertwined with the proven experience of the company and the possession of ice cream production recipes that differentiate and distinguish it.

Our philosophy

At PAPANARETOS we place at the top of our corporate philosophy the benefit and satisfaction of our customer. Our philosophy directs us to adhere to high standards throughout the ice cream production process.

Quality

Quality is a way of life at PAPANARETOS SA. Our reputation as a quality-oriented company is our most valuable asset. In 1983 the company moved to its new privately owned facilities of 14 acres, located in Giannitsa, Pella. The first production lines for ice creams and sweets were installed. In 2005 the company proceeded to the renovation of its facilities complying with the modern requirements of quality and safety systems. In the same year, the installation of the first production line for the ice cream Pagotini (mini ice cream) took place, as well as a modern deep freeze chamber.

With the aim of applying our philosophy daily, we leverage a strategic blend of talent, expertise, professionalism, cutting-edge technology and perfected recipes. This meticulous approach has led us to develop and integrate an HACCP-certified system since 2006, seemlessly implemented across all production lines. The result? Our commitment to crafting wholesome ice creams has earned us rave reviews and sparked numerous collaborative opportunities.

In 2014 the pasteurization and maturation ice cream department was completely renovated. A closed pasteurization system was installed with direct updating and recording of production conditions, as well as the CIP system, which serves the pasteurization, maturation and production departments.

In 2019 the third major renovation of the facilities took place with the installation of two new deep-freezing chambers, a second modern production line for Pagotini (mini ice cream), as well as a second CIP system to meet production needs.

Availability, delivery time and partnerships

Availability and delivery time are two very important parameters in the ice cream industry, which essentially establish stable and long-term partnerships.

At PAPANARETOS we adopt a new approach throughout the ice cream production process adding value at each stage in order to ensure excellent quality and taste within the delivery date and prices we committed to.

All the above act as a guarantee for our partners, ensuring mutual benefit and profitability to both companies.

Mission

Guided by our professional reputation, our work is to produce and sell real ice cream in professional, family and individual packaging, as well as ice cream cakes and mini ice creams.

The production of excellent quality ice cream based on traditional recipes is an area in which we possess extensive knowledge and in which we and the next generations of our family wish to remain in and continue our activity.
