Haitoglou Bros S.A.
Europe's largest sesame processor specializing in halva, sesame oil, and wafer snacks. Family-owned since 1924, exporting to over 50 countries.
Haitoglou Family Foods was established in 1924 by the Haitoglou family who fled Asia Minor to Thessaloniki, Greece, bringing with them a secret family recipe for halva. Starting as a small artisanal operation, the company has grown into Europe's largest sesame processor and now exports to over 50 countries worldwide.
The company's product portfolio includes traditional halva confections, chocolate-coated halva bars, virgin sesame oil (which won the Superior Taste Award), and wafer snacks with creamy fillings. All products are made with premium, all-natural ingredients maintaining the family's commitment to quality craftsmanship spanning four generations.
Based in Kalochori, Thessaloniki, since 1962, Haitoglou operates purpose-built modern manufacturing facilities including a dedicated sesame processing plant established in 2004. The company has maintained its family character while scaling production to meet growing international demand.
The Haitoglou brand remains synonymous with premium, healthy confectionery products that combine traditional recipes with contemporary product development, from classic halva to innovative wafer snack lines.
