CaO Hellas

In 1980 , Evangelos Ampas created the ‘Macedonian Avestopoiia TITAN’ in Thessaloniki , a new modernized unit in order to produce high quality lime. The long experience and the creation of three facilities in Florina, Asvestochori-Thessaloniki and in ESSO Pappas have developed the foundation for an integrated , independent and healthy business environment. Then, from 1990 until today CaO Hellas has been developed to a fully modernized , automated and innovated operation business company. In addition to that, the collaboration with international agencies and universities have prompt us to create many innovative products which are leading the Balkan market.
