The major shareholder of Vivartia was the Daskalopoulos family until a 76.89% share was sold to the Marfin Investment Group.

Vivartia has 27 facilities, 13,500 employees, a commercial presence in 30 states and an estimated turnover of 1.3 billion euros for 2006.

[6] Vivartia is the result of the merger of Delta Holding S.A., which included Delta Dairy Products, Goody's, Flocafé and Mechelany foods as well as a dozen other major Greek food and beverages related corporations of the nutritions field, with the snack and bakery business lines of Chipita.

Yet the State's Prosecuting agent investigating this case against Vivartia and Mevgal, Panayotis Adamopoulos, was jailed for bribery and extortion attempts against the companies.

[13] In the Balkans, Vivartia is active in Serbia and Bulgaria and is interested in tapping the rising consumer demand elsewhere in the region and in Russia.

In 2007, Vivartia plans to expand into organic farming in Romania and into fast-food chain franchising in Serbia.
