he company was founded in 2004 with the acquisition of a family business that produced traditional Cretan pastries. In April 2005 KRITON ARTος relocated to privately-owned facilities covering 3000 m². That same year it came up with the innovative idea of private label products. It was the first company to produce Cretan baked snacks under the label of a well known supermarket chain. In November 2005 it was certified with HACCP ELOT 1416 and IFS Higher level. Today its facilities have grown to cover 4.000 m², and it has modernized its production equipment, whilst still maintaining the traditional production methods of its products.

Because of modern facilities, high quality, high capacity and competitive prices, KRITON ARTOS is trusted of most major Supermarket chains for the production of traditional Cretan bread products with their private label.
