KORE SA was founded in 1979 as a distributor for imported seed oils and soon developed into the largest bottler of vegetable oils (Olive and Seed Oils) in Greece and one of the largest distribution companies of products, food and other products.

KORE SA entered the olive oil market after 1992, and slowly but methodically built its own origin network with storage tanks and laboratory facilities, led by a team of experts in the raw material market.

This approach to the total vertical integration of the olive oil chain, from the purchase of the freshly squeezed olive oil at the mill to the delivery of the standardized oil to the consumer's shelf, is the secret of KORE's success in a highly specialized sector.

The Tools used:

There are 3 tools to achieve industry leading quality:

– Continuous training of staff on all aspects of quality issues and at all levels of the company, including senior management

– Continuous investment in quality by improving equipment (with software), leading to improved preventive measures and better analysis methods

– Regular quality audits, both those resulting from the ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 22000:2005 quality systems and those imposed by the customers, as part of their own quality audits

A full traceability system is maintained at all levels of production and up to the last stage of consumption.
