With deep sadness, Angelakis SA announces the loss of the founder of the company, Nikos Angelakis, who passed away today (22.5.2025) at the age of 93.
Nikos Angelakis was a rare man with vision, boldness and hard work. With his deceased wife, Panayiotas Angelakis, they had five children, twelve grandchildren and two grandchildren. As he typically said, his family was his greatest achievement for him.
In 1962, Nikos and Panagiotas Angelakis began, literally from scratch, a small, family poultry unit in Chalkida, which, thanks to their incessant efforts and their personal work, evolved into one of the leading companies in Greece – the work of two beloved businessmen.
He felt very happy and proud to see his creation innovate and develop, through his children and grandchildren, who continue his work with dedication and consistency. In his speech in 2022 he said “60 years ago I couldn’t imagine that we would reach this point, celebrating 60 years of Angelakis chickens. I’m happy that my kids got the company so high. “
Nikos Angelakis stood out not only for his business success, but also for his integer, simplicity, humanity and deep respect for his fellow humans, employees and associates. Everyone who was lucky enough to know him remember him with love and appreciation. He left full days, complete, proud and happy.
“Nikos Angelakis will live in our hearts forever and his morality is a source of inspiration for all of us. Its stock will remain indelible and its values will continue to guide us at every step, “the company’s management said in a statement.
The funeral service will be held at the Church of Constantine & Helen, in Theologos of Evia, on Saturday, May 24 at 17:00. Instead of wreaths, the family wishes to be donated to the child’s smile.
