History with a Greek profile

In 1982, Thomas and Roe Evangeliou purchase 50% of the company, gaining full control 8 years later. Production is soon vertically integrated and the company grows, producing all the parts of the complete product, from plastic sticks and cotton wool to the final packaging. In 1992 the company adds a focus on exports while expanding into new products. In 2017 turnover exceeds €66.3 million, and in 2019 Septona proceeds to expansion of the production of liquid antiseptic products, sales of which – due to the circumstances – increase sharply from March 2020 onwards. Driven by the successful expansion of exports into new international markets and a significant increase in market share across all product categories in Greece, particularly in the baby wipes segment, the Group has achieved sustained double-digit sales growth over the past five years, with sales exceeding €160 million in 2025.

Investments from 2010 to 2022 come to €62 million, and investments for 2023-2024 exceeded €20 million.
