Vassos Eliades Group

Vassos Eliades Ltd bears the name of its founder, the late Vassos K. Eliades, and has been the agent of Swiss food giant NESTLE for the island of Cyprus since the inception of the company in 1933. The relationship of Vassos K. Eliades with NESTLE starts even earlier, in 1913. From 1920 to 1933 he was employed by NESTLE as a general supervisor for NESTLE products for the island of Cyprus. Vassos K. Eliades was a brilliant and hardworking businessman. By 1940 the company was already one of the biggest and most highly respected trading companies in Cyprus. The company continued to grow and by 1958, both of Vassos K. Eliades’ sons, George and Kypros, were made shareholders in the company. In 1960 George V. Eliades joined the company and so did Kypros V. Eliades in 1972. Acting as managing directors, the second generation brothers continued the growth of the company which firmly positioned Vassos Eliades Ltd today as the biggest import and distribution company of fast moving consumer products in the island, with a network that covers the whole of Cyprus supplying a range of the most well known products and brands from around the world including NESCAFE, MAGGI, KIT KAT, GRANT’S whisky, DUREX, PAPADOPOULOS Biscuits and many other.
