FACILITIES

Within 20 acres of land there are facilities located within 2,000 square meters that are equipped with the most modern packaging machinery in Greece. The packaging process begins from here although it is not the only concern for the excellent collection of products, the choice for supplying citrus determined by Spartathlon as experienced agronomists choose fields that are free from plant fertilizers and other harmful to the human body is of a greater concern as well. This procedure is compatible with the rules of the European standards for packaging and Export. The journey that is undertaken by Spartathlon products is fully tested as a qualified workforce collects the citrus and places them in sanitized containers which are then transferred to small refrigerated-truck adjusting with temperatures in accordance with the packaging facility to be packed and disembark the same day for the markets. In the packaging facility their arrival is checked by agronomists who again check the quality of products and immediately place them in the screening chamber where experienced specialists classify products according to their quality. In the next stage the goods enter the wash cycle and a cleaning process is placed forth followed by disinfection and drying. The latter process includes the separation of citrus by size and quality by a special electronic apparatus  and then the placement in green cardboard box packaging.
