GENERAL COMMENTS

 

This is the leading men's wear manufacturing company and the largest clothing exporter in Cyprus. It was founded by George Kallis in 1951, as a small tailoring shop in the heart of Nicosia market. Ten years later the first factory was established operating from a plant at Nicosia industrial area.

In 1964, the present limited liability company was incorporated and took over the business. Today they run 3 factories and 23 retail shops scattered all over Cyprus. They have expanded their business and have established a factory in Jordan too, from where most of the exports of the company, are carried out. The company exports about 70% of its own production. Their overseas clients are large and well known chain stores.

Their products are very well known in the market under the brand names "Jet" "G. Kallis" and "Warbler". Four of their retail shops are selling their imported goods and are known with the registered trade name "Eurojet".

Please note that the clothing industry, the last couple of years, is going through a serious crisis. Most of the local firms especially small ones have been affected heavily and many of them closed down. Today the picture has been cleared up. The remain units are operating well.

The present company, is still considered to be the leading manufacturing company and the largest clothing exported in Cyprus. Despite the fact that their sales showed a stability during the last few years they have managed to get through the crisis and their sales shows an upward trend again.

They have also expand their activities in the import and trade of ready made clothes for all ages (men, women, children). They have also secured the sole distributorship right of U2 products of Hong-Kong, for young people (15-25 years old). They maintain three "Franchise shop” from where the products are sold, on retail base (2 Nicosia, 1 Larnaca, 1 Limassol).

The company has introduced a new line of products, which is the cosmetic line. These products are promoted and sold through two specilaized shops, one in Larnaca city and another one in Limassol city. Both stores are operating under the style "RED EARTH”.
