George Tsakiris created in 1954 the first production unit of potato snacks, at the basement of his house in Athens, with very simple equipment of daily life. Potatoes cut & frying as well as their packaging take place by hand and G. Tsakiris by himself distributes the prepared potato chip to nearby open-air cinemas and bakeries on foot. Since then, Tsakiris Chips production went through many stages till 1997 when Atalanti’s plant is created, with new, modern and automated equipment that operates under strict hygiene and safety conditions till today. In 2004 the company became a subsidiary of Coca-Cola HBC and, since then, Tsakiris has widely expanded in the snack market, with new, innovative ranges.
