Mandrekas S.A: A Legacy of Authentic Greek Dairy Excellence
The journey of Mandrekas began in 1948 when Dimitrios Mandrekas opened a small dairy store in Korinthos, Greece. His commitment to quality and authenticity laid the foundation for what would become a renowned dairy brand. In 1978, the family transitioned to a production facility, and by 1991, Mandrekas established a state-of-the-art dairy production and private label facility in Korinthos. The company expanded internationally in 2012 with a plant in Wisconsin, USA, in collaboration with Klondike Cheese Co. Today, under the leadership of the third generation, Mandrekas continues to uphold its legacy of quality and innovation.
