HISTORY

1968

The families of our founders, Andreas, Costas, Panayiotis and Theodoros Pantziaros, joined forces and started their first steps in the field of cattle breeding.

They started working with a few cows on a small farm at the edge of Mesaoria in the village of Athienou in Cyprus. Their aim was to produce cow milk and halloumi in small quantities for their own families and their fellow villagers’ daily needs.

1978

They set forth with great energy and passion. Their hard work, their love for what they worked for and the excellent cooperation between them, led to a success that they had never dreamed of.

They learnt the art of cheese making in early 1978 and set up a small dairy workshop at Costa’s house – one of the brother associates – thus laying down the foundation stone for their successful journey.

1981

In 1981, with hard work and dedication, they established their first traditional dairy factory in Athienou at a different location. It was the first one in the village, producing cheese and other dairy products. Committed to the tradition of both manufacturing and using traditional means and tools, they followed an upward trend by selling products to the domestic market. The quality of their products was always their main goal.

Whilst the dairy factory was put in operation, a new modern farm was built in the area (by the founders’ families), so that they could meet the growing demand.

1993

Pantziarou Brothers invested in modern technology, which combined with their experience in the cheese making industry and their dedication to quality and hygiene, resulted in substantial growth and success.

The vision of Pantziarou Brothers to keep traditions alive and produce quality dairy products was undertaken by their children Stylianos, Alexis, Chrysos, Maria and Evanthia, who joined the family business to continue the work that their fathers began.

2008

In June 2008, the business grew exponentially with a huge export of cheese products to the United Kingdom. Exports continue with the same momentum to the United Kingdom, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, Greece and the distant Australia.
