Background

In 1930 in Thessalonica ( Northern Greece ) a small family labour industry was founded by Mr. Athanassios Gova and Mrs. Panagjota Gova.

The Production of the primarily products:

- Ladles
- Wire baskets
- Plate supports
- Whisks
- Mesh Skimmers

During the duration of Second World War, the small productive unit stops all activities.

In 1950 the family labour industry begins a small productive activity in its privately-owned land in the Prefecture of Attica in the municipality of Vyronas.
The production unit grows and the work is modernised with minimal rhythms of growth.

In 1970 the son of the family Mr. Michalis Govas continues the production activity in a newer and larger privately-owned space in Spata Attica. Bought new and modern equipment and automated all the existing product range and simultaneously added new products into the production line.

The company commenced a small export activity in:

- the Former Yugoslavia,
- in Lebanon
- in Cyprus,
- in the United States of America ( U.S.A. ) and in the
- European Union countries, France and Germany.

In 1977 the company from a sole proprietorship becomes a Public Limited Company (Societe Anonyme ), comes in the present form of GOVAS S.A. with the continuation of Mr. Micheal Govas' daughters: Ms. Gova Panagiota and Ms. Gova Athanasia.

Remained a productive unit during the difficult competitive times, and added new product codes in the production line made of iron and stainless steel wire in order to correspond to the new market requirements of the sector.
