Investment Program

The ANEK LINES equity of the company gave a new impetus to our plans for progress and development. The completion of the first phase of its investment program resulted in the creation of one of the most advanced water bottling plants in Greece. In recent years, ETANAP SA has made significant investments in technological equipment and facilities, upgrading its services and increasing production and sales outlets in Greece. Recently a branch in Athens is established, in order to provide better service and product availability domestically.

Company history

ETANAP SA (in Greek: ΕΤ.ΑΝ.ΑΝ.ΑΠ. Α.Ε., initials derived from its full title EΤΑΙΡΕΙΑ ΑΝΑΠΤΥΞΗΣ ΑΠΟΚΟΡΩΝΑ ΑΕ) was formed by the former Archbishop of Selino and Kissamos, the Eminence Irenaeus Galanakis, back in 1978, and began operations during 1980. Today it is a diversified company with important shareholders. Since 2000 its share capital increased as another great and world renown company, ANEK LINES, introduced as a subsidiary up to the amount of 50%. ETANAP SA bottles and trades the all natural table water "Samaria", at its spring sources, near the village of Stylos in Apokoronas area of Chania county, in Crete, Greece.

Place & Facilities

Our facilities are located in the village of Stylos Apokoronou, in a natural environment which is 16 km from the city of Chania and 11 km from Souda Bay, near the ancient town of Aptera where the remains of the ancient Roman aqueduct can still been seen. This is an area rich in natural resources as it is in the northern foothills of the White Mountains and throughout the year there is intense activity of the water element.

The bottling and packaging plant for SAMARIA water is housed in an area covering a total of 7,000 q.m. on a private land of a total of 16 acres and employs 35 people. The company owns three (3) private wells in this territory, with a potential of 20, 25 and 100 cubic meters. As the water is pumped from a depth of 50 meters it is strictly originated from the region of White Mountains.

Production process - bottling and production lines

Water is pumped from the company's owned water springs and is driven through filtering to the modern bottling lines. The company has 3 automated lines for the bottling of water.

The first line can bottle PET bottles of 0.5, 1.5 and 0.75 lt with a production output of 11,000 bottles per hour.
The second line can bottle 1 lt glass bottles and bottles of sparkling water in glass bottles of 0.33 lt. The production output of this line amounts to 6,000 bottles per hour.
Our third line can bottle PET bottles of 5 and 10 lt. The production output of this line is around 2,000 and 1,000 bottles per hour, respectively.
In 2008, within a great development framework for ETANAP SA, we completed the installation and operation of a new line of advanced technology. This new production line is used for producing PET bottles of 0.5, 0.75, 1 and 1.5 lt and its production output amounts to 18,000 bottles per hour.

The modern technology that is used reduces the manpower to the role of an observer as the production lines of the company are fully and higly automated. As no human intervention in the process of bottling is needed, we managed to maintain and ensure the excellent quality of water SAMARIA as drawn from the source, all the time.
