Three Cents
The innovative premium mixers & tonics company was founded at the end of 2014 in Great Britain by Vassilis Kalantzis, George Bagos, Dimitris Dafopoulos and George Tsirikos, with the aim of offering HORECA professionals a premium and different product.
Three Cents products are exported to more than 34 countries, and in 2022 sales abroad are expected to exceed sales in Greece, despite the fact that Greece will set a sales record.
The company’s sales for 2021 amounted to 7.7 million euros, while EBITDA amounted to 1.5 million euros.
