GEROLYMATOS INTERNATIONAL S.A.

For over nine decades, the name Gerolymatos has been associated with the health care & beauty industry worldwide. The company’s history dates back to 1923 when pharmacist, Nikos Gerolymatos, opened a pharmacy in the center of Athens, Greece that soon became one of the largest in the country. 

Guided by the values and philosophical convictions of the founder, the small family pharmacy business became one of the leading Greek companies in the health and beauty sector under the inspiring leadership of the charismatic founder’s son, Panagiotis Gerolymatos (1936 – 2009). 

In 2009, Nicholas Gerolymatos representing the 3rd generation, took over the leadership of the family business, determined not only to re-organize its structure, but to expand the business locally and internationally despite the very challenging economic environment. 

Today, Gerolymatos International S.A., is one of the most traditional, historical and well-esteemed family businesses in the Greek healthcare industry and has a prominent global presence with its own brand portfolio, namely, Sinomarin®, Tamarine® and Foltene®, through an extensive network of more than 50 distributors. 

In Greece, Gerolymatos International S.A. is present in the OTC / pharmacy market (own & distribution products), in the Veterinary (Boehringer Ingelheim portfolio) and in the Optical market (Alcon portfolio). 

The company’s sales turnover is 36.5 mil € (ex-works & wholesale prices) (2018).
