Our vision
Our vision is to nurture the future of all Greeks through superior quality food, while maintaining our sense of responsibility towards our fellow citizens, society as a whole and the environment.
For over 70 years, we’ve been supporting Greek families throughout the country by offering them superior quality products that satisfy modern nutritional needs. We’re also proud to be ambassadors of Greek nutrition, by offering innovative products that promote Greek well-being to the rest of the world.
Our values
Innovation
Each new product you hold in your hands is a manifestation of our constant need to offer you the very best. It is also a result of painstaking research by our scientific team. This team continuously monitors the needs of Greek consumers and develops new, innovative ideas.
This way, we can create products that meet your expectations–and find their way into your hearts.
Safety-Quality
For all of us at DELTA, product safety is a non-negotiable value. We adhere to the strictest rules and quality assurance specifications throughout the process–from raw materials, equipment and manufacturing facilities, to production and distribution of the final product to all points of sale.
Moreover, through an advanced traceability system, each product carries a unique identification, so we can–if needed–trace its origin back to a particular farm or a specific raw material.
Freshness
For farmers, cow milking is a daily activity. So is the collection of this milk by our people. Each dawn marks the beginning of a route through which fresh milk is delivered to you, in all its wholesomeness.
Needless to say, we’re not alone in this; over 1,100 milk producers assist us in this effort and we’re proud to support them through special agricultural and animal farming sustainability programmes.
From end to end
The people of DELTA–ours and yours–are next to you every day: in small shops, supermarket chains, bakeries, convenience stores and neighborhood DELTA outlets. All across Greece, from one end of the country to the other.
From the remote islands of Othonoi, Kastelorizo and Arki to the border towns of Evros, there’s someone from DELTA providing freshly made products, throughout the year, and in all weather conditions.
Everyone, no matter where they live, should be able to enjoy food of such high nutritional value. And this is what we’ve been delivering for over 70 years.
