Sotiris has always been an inventor. An engineer trained at MIT, he has held over 40 patents and worked on high tech projects including the first artificial heart and the NASA space program. Returning to Greece in the early 1980s, Sotiris re-discovered his passion for the food traditions of his homeland. In 1983, he created the Peloponnese® brand as the first line of authentic Greek foods offered to mainstream American consumers. Ten years later – in 1993 – he founded PELOPAC as the dedicated producer of Peloponnese® products. Sotiris and Peloponnese® are credited with groundbreaking industry innovations, including: Pitting of Kalamata variety olives Creation of first olive bars Bag-in-box concept for food service & deli olives Introduction of Roasted Red Florina peppers to US market Sotiris’ visionary spirit is carried on by Constantinos Constantinidis, CEO of PELOPAC since 2001.
