HISTORY

In 1959 Pantelis M. Papadopoulos, depending solely on his insight and determination, traveled from Athens to Sweden by train, with the ambitious goal to take over the agency of Husqvarna.

His dynamic attitude persuaded the company to expand outside of Scandinavia for the first time; thus in December of 1962 Pantelis M. Papadopoulos became the first Husqvarna distributor in the world. The first order included just 20 chainsaws, which a small yet passionate team demonstrated to professional foresters throughout the country. The actual journey had just begun.

During the last 64 years the company has been on the rise and a leader in its field. Nowadays, the second generation, with Pantelis P. Papadopoulos and Alexander P. Papadopoulos, continues with the same eagerness and entrepreneurial boldness. The deep experience and the values that have made the company respected are now combined with innovative ideas and modern business tactics which foreshadow a promising future.
