1988 is a milestone year in the company's history since it marks the company's foundation as a commercial business for the sale of sanitary household products under the name MAXI S.A.
Three years later, in 1991, the production process was initiated, with small scale activities to produce toilet paper, kitchen paper and napkins, with a work force of eight employees, locates at the 1st kilometre of the old Katerini - Thessaloniki motorway, where it remains until today.
However, it was year 2001 when significant investments took place dor MAXIS.A. and resulter in high-tech production lines (Perini) of toilet and kitchen paper, pocket and facial tissues, zigzag tissue and restaurant paper tablecloths which expanded the range of products and the paper marketshare.
In 2011, following the enormous processing demand both by the paper pulp market and the company itself, the most advanced papermaking plant called MAXI Paper Mill was created, capable of producing 85 tons of Jumbo Rolls per day or 28.000 tons per year.
In 2017, a second line of toilet and kitchen paper production was added to the existing equipment and a new 4.000m2 and 3.200 pallet-space storage facility was built.
Today, MAXI S.A. is a leading force in paper production and processing.
