Our Company
CORK HELLAS – KOKKALIDIS BROTHERS was established in Thessaloniki / North Greece, in 1990. It has been activated on the industry of wine bottling supplies and specialized on cork stoppers.
In 1991 we start to import finished cork stoppers from Portugal.
In 1997 we install in Thessaloniki a facility for the final process of corks. In our own machines we print the logo and make the surface treatment of the cork stoppers.
We also insist and develop specific quality controls of the final products. We support the wineries not only with reliable stoppers to bottle, but, also, with any information and advice on the bottling process.
In year 2004 the company is very well organized concerning machinery and know – how and sells to an extended market of wineries all over Greece.
Main suppliers of raw material are JORGE PINTO DE SÁ (Portugal) and COLOMBIN GM & Figlio Spa (Italy).
The range of products already includes cork stoppers of any type, even the most sophisticated ones, headcorks, T-corks e.t.c.
Additionally, enological products, PVC capsules and other bottling auxillaries. Since that time our interest in synthetic stoppers grows.
We start our exclusive cooperation with NUKORC, a big producer of synthetic stoppers head quartered in Australia.
Since the end of 2005 we have entered quite actively to the market of aluminium caps for wines, spirits and olive oils. We cooperate exclusively with CLASSIC BOTTLE CAPS PVT LTD.

Besides our customers – wineries and distilleries – in Greece, we look at the markets of neighbor countries.
