Alterra was formed in 2002 and a new fruit and vegetable processing factory opened in Giannitsa, Pella on a huge 60,000 m2 site in 2005.
The owner, Theo Rousopoulos, had
several years’ experience of processing
frozen fruit and vegetables and the new
factory was designed and built by him
to the highest technical standards.
