The LOUX way

There is something unique in the citrus fruit of Greece. Due to this natural superiority of the Greek fruit, LOUX brings an added value, creating traditional, natural and authentic Greek flavors.

"A good product” is not wished upon or a "secret" of LOUX. It’s the epitome of the "LOUX reputation". It is a daily practice, linked with the respect to the consumer and the self-evident right of quality and enjoyment.

Principles and values were passed on from their father Panayiotis Marlafekas to his sons, Costas, Yannis and Platonas. Business should always be based on the three fold success: good governance, economical administration, accurate measurement and knowledge of costs. Also, to move forward with fixed and non-negotiable values: passion for quality, creativeness, a thirst for innovation, respect to all people and, above all, ethos".
