WHO WE ARE
Our aim is to become the most reliable & successful company in the field of paper and cleaning products so that we can be the first choice of the customer.
The purely Greek Company I & M Markou ABEE was founded in 1940 when its founder George Markou was inspired and envisioned the future of the company in the Greek Industry. Since then and until today, our company has maintained a strong presence in the area, having created in 1975 a privately owned model Industrial Unit, measuring 2,500 square meters, in Koropi, Attica. It supports Greek entrepreneurship and offers work to 34 families. Our company is active in the Production, Processing and Trading of a wide range of Stationery, for home and professional use, but also in the Trading of HO.RE.CA products, Cleaning Systems, Detergents and Devices. In all these separate activities of ours there is the common denominator that each of our products is the ideal solution to each of your problems, the ideal answer to each of your requirements.
