75 YEARS
BRANDED, HIGH-QUALITY
GREEK DRAGÉES
The taste of the Hatziyiannakis’ sugar dragees has been associated with unique moments of happiness for over 3 generations. That is why we continue to evolve and grow stronger together, using the experience granted by tradition as a basis and moving forward to the innovation required by modern times.
Going all the way back to 1950 in Piraeus, as a family business producing dragées, we laid the foundations for our vision to provide high-quality and authentic-tasting sugar dragées to the Greek market.
During our course over all these year, Dragées Hatziyiannakis managed to conquer the top of the Greek market thanks to its dedication to high quality and its love for the art of dragée-making. Today, tradition meets innovation through our products, resulting in over 70 years of branded Greek sugar dragées and sweet delights that have been loved and appreciated worldwide.
