HISTORY

Our history begins in 1949, when Ioannis Pallas, an experienced printer already, established a small printing house in Nikea, Piraeus. Its first mechanical equipment was very advanced for its time: a semi-automatic letterpress machine.
During the hard times of the 50s, the printing house called "TYPO TECHNAL - I. PALLAS" is developing rapidly. Continuously renewing its equipment, it becomes one of the first printing houses in Greece that possesses new, fully automatic letterpress machinery. In the area of Piraeus, its reputation spreads, based on the personal (effort) of Ioannis Pallas, the quality his production and the effective and responsible cooperation with his customers and collaborators. Thus, not surprisingly, the majority of the most important customers of that time are still doing business with the firm.




In 1997, the firm moves to a newly built, industrial building of 1000 m2 at 235 Thivon Ave. Since 1969 , it has already entered the area of multicolor offset printing, following the progress and the trends of that time. The sons of Ioannis Pallas are graduating from the Higher School of Graphic and Decorative Arts of the Technical College of Athens and the firm is now called "PRESS OFFSET - I. PALLAS & SONS". (The photograph was published in a graphic arts magazine in Czechoslovakia in which it is mentioned as one of the most modern printing houses in Greece.)

In 1991, the second generation of the family takes over the firm PALLAS - GRAPHIC ARTS Co, which expands its activities in the wider area of Graphic Arts. The continuous modernization, the persistence in quality, regardless of the cost, and the personal relationship with the customers, based on mutual trust, have been for the last 50 years the basic principles of the firm.
