Our company
VIALCO SKOURTOPOULOS S.A. was founded in 1928 by Antonios Skourtopoulos, in the Oreoi village of N. Evoia in Greece, producing exclusively salted fish, under the Ambrosia brand name. Nine years later, in 1937, the company expanded its activity by producing canned tuna, in its second factory, which was set up for this exact goal.

Relocation and innovation

Committed to innovation, in 1971 VIALCO became the 1st company producing canned sardines in Greece, while almost the whole of its production was being exported to Europe.
1995 has been a landmark year for our company, as it was then that VIALCO completed its relocation to its new, modern and self-owned facilities in the Second Industrial Area of Volos. in 1998 VIALCO changed its corporate type to S.A. and three years later it was included in a Community Support Framework project aiming at its further improvement and modernization.
