As one of the longest-standing Greek companies in the bakery sector, and having implemented innovative methods that extend even to our digital presence, we would like to introduce the people who make us proud every day: our technical team.

Loulis Mills, continuing the legacy of six previous generations and in its ongoing effort for continuous improvement, is supported by a highly skilled and well-trained staff. These individuals strengthen the company’s Technical Support department and form the core of our team. Let’s get to know them.

We begin with Otto-Otman Fricker, born in Germany in 1961. He has been the technical advisor of the team at Loulis Food Ingredients for the past ten years.
