Welcome to Our Journey
Welcome to Our History
Through the years Tragano Foods expanded into one of the biggest producers of Greek vegetables such as Greek Pepperoncini, Roasted Red Peppers, Roasted Eggplant Puree, Kalamata Olives, Giardiniera, Olive Salads, Olive Bruschetta and Sauces.
Tragano Foods is strongly committed in supporting local communities. Most of Tragano's products come from single-estate farmers, in the greater Peloponnese area, with whom the company enjoys longstanding relationships. In recent years Tragano Foods and its growers, have focused on an organic approach to agriculture with a goal of 100% organic production by 2030.
The company currently employs about 90 full-time workers and 140 seasonal personnel and many come from families in the area. A substantial number of employees have retired after working most of their time at Tragano and even today, their children keep working with us, a testament to Tragano's commitment and connection to the local community. Although family members are still active at the company, we pride ourselves on developing and promoting new talent to key managerial positions.
Nearly all of Tragano products are exported to Europe, the United States, Australia and the Middle East. Tragaon has been certfied by BRC Global Standards, ISO 22000 and ISO 26000 as meeting international food safety management standards. It is also Kosher certified.
