Founded in 1929, Tragano is a family run company with a long experience in traditional Greek food and a deep commitment to the community. Our company was founded by our grandfather, Nikos Kostopoulos, as a family enterprise specializing in pickled vegetables. The company is named after the rural village in the Peloponnese region of western Greece where we are located. The region of Tragano (which means “crispy” in English) is famous in Greece for its produce and fertile land.

Our company progressively grew to become a firm dealing in pickled vegetables, olive oil, and sauces, and became one of the major producers of olives.  For three generations, we have taken pride in the outstanding quality of our products and of the exceptional people working with us. Over the years we have developed long-lasting relationships with farmers from small estates in our community who, like us, believe in product excellency and sustainable agriculture. Moreover, most of our employees come from families in the area involved with agriculture themselves. Many of those families have been with us for generations.  Tragano currently employs about 90 people full time and 140 in the summer months at the peak of our production.

Tragano serves the Greek market and also exports to Europe, the United States, Australia, and the Middle East. In the last few years we decided to switch to organic products and created Tragano Greek Organics with a  companywide goal of having 100% organic production by 2025.

Tragano has been certified by the Food Safety Mondernization Act (FSMA), BRC Global Standards, International Featured Standards (IFS), BSCI, USDA-organic, non-GMO project and ISO 22000 as meeting international food safety management standards. It is also Kosher certified.
