Omiros Dairy Group Expands International Footprint With Strategic Cyprus Acquisition

Acquisition Marks A Strategic Milestone

Greek dairy powerhouse Omiros has taken a decisive step in its international expansion by acquiring the renowned Cypriot dairy company A. Hadjipieris Ltd through its subsidiary, Omiros Dairies Cyprus. This move not only fortifies its global presence but also strengthens its positioning in the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) niche, celebrated worldwide for its high-quality dairy products.

Investment And Expansion Plans

The acquisition adds a third production facility to Omiros’ portfolio—the first establishment outside Greece—underscoring the firm’s commitment to growth and modernisation. With an initial investment phase valued at €5 million, the company is focusing on immediate expansion and facility upgrades, aiming to achieve an annual production capacity of 5,500 tonnes of PDO halloumi. Omiros has also outlined plans to secure industrial land for a state-of-the-art factory that is expected to boost capacity to 12,000 tonnes annually within three years, supporting job creation and local economic development.

Commitment To Local Values And Strategic Growth

Under the stewardship of Ioannis Billis, a seasoned dairy industry executive with substantial expertise in both Greece and Cyprus, the Cyprus project will not only drive operational growth but also reflect the enduring values of local tradition and cultural identity. The acquisition signals a pivotal moment as the third generation of the Giannitsis family embarks on a new journey, marked by innovation and excellence in the halloumi sector.

Path To International Leadership

Enhancing its strategic focus through subsidiaries such as Agrolact and Omiros Dairies Cyprus, the Omiros Group is evolving into a modern, vertically integrated, export-oriented enterprise. With a heritage of over forty years and a presence in more than twenty international markets, Omiros is well positioned to lead globally in the production of high-quality traditional dairy products. This ambitious expansion, with total projected investments in Cyprus reaching €30 million over the next five years, reaffirms Omiros’ commitment to fostering long-term growth and supporting the broader Cypriot economy.

Cyprus-Based ASBIS Hits Record $1.05bn In Monthly Revenue, Up 216% Year On Year

The technology distributor ASBIS Group, headquartered in Limassol, has exceeded $1 billion in monthly sales for the first time in its history, reporting preliminary consolidated revenue of $1.05 billion in September 2026, more than three times the amount recorded a year earlier.

The figure represents a 216% increase from $332 million in September 2025, making it the highest-revenue month in the company’s history.

ASBIS reported its strongest sales growth in servers and server components, while CEO Serhei Kostevitch pointed to growing demand for artificial intelligence solutions and computing infrastructure as an opportunity for the business.

For a company operating across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, September marked a new sales milestone following several months of substantial year-on-year growth.

Kostevitch attributed the record performance to the group’s existing operations, highlighting its broad product portfolio, international market presence and strong relationships with manufacturers and trading partners.

“Most importantly, this result is the outcome of our regular operating activities,” he said.

The CEO also highlighted the company’s portfolio of projects as a reason for confidence in continued AI-related development.

However, the group’s growth was not limited to AI-related technologies. Smartphones also performed strongly in September, with Kostevitch stressing that “we are growing beyond the AI segment as well.”

Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine accounted for the largest shares of ASBIS’s September revenue, followed by Slovakia and Poland.

Growth Follows Record First Half

September’s results follow a period of strong financial performance for ASBIS.

In July, the company reported preliminary consolidated revenue of $531 million, an increase of 89% compared with the same month in 2025. August brought a further rise to $604 million, up 91% year on year.

September’s $1.05 billion figure represents a substantial increase on both months, although the company has not provided a detailed breakdown explaining the acceleration.

The results also follow a record first half of 2026, when ASBIS generated approximately $2.97 billion in consolidated revenue, up 76% year on year.

Net profit after tax reached $80.6 million, compared with $19.4 million in the same period in 2025.

The second quarter was particularly strong, with revenue reaching $1.69 billion, an increase of 78.7%, while quarterly net profit more than tripled to $44.3 million.

ASBIS has emphasised that its September revenue figures are preliminary estimates and may differ from the final reported results.
