Halcyon Equity Partners S.C.A SICAR (“Halcyon Equity Partners”), a Greek growth private equity fund focused on investing in mature Scale-up and Growth SMEs & Small Mid-Caps in Greece, is pleased to announce its strategic investment in Evoiki Zimi S.A., a Greek producer of filo pastry, dough products and desserts, under the Zimi Psachnon brand. The transaction reflects Halcyon Equity Partners continued commitment to investing in high-quality Greek companies with strong growth potential, as part of its broader “Invest in the Best of Greece” strategy.
Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Psachna, Evia, Evoiki Zimi has grown from a local pasta producer with a passion for authentic Greek flavors, into one of the most recognized and trusted brands in the Greek food market. The Company offers a wide range of products which are sold across the major supermarket chains in Greece and exported to more than 20 countries worldwide. Rooted in tradition but driven by innovation, Evoiki Zimi has always been committed to quality, authenticity, and continuous improvement. This commitment reached a new milestone with the upcoming launch of a new, state-of-the-art 7,000 m² production facility in Schimatari, significantly increasing its production capacity, automation capabilities and upholding the highest standards of food safety and sustainability.
Evoiki Zimi is a leading player in a resilient and expanding sector, benefiting from growing consumer demand, for high-quality, traditional food products both domestically and internationally. With the Halcyon Equity Partners support, the Company will now accelerate its growth strategy through investments in production scale-up, advanced automation, ESG initiatives, new product development, and international market expansion.
Charalambos Konstantakis, Founder and CEO of Evoiki Zimi, commented: “For over 40 years, Evoiki Zimi has established itself as a trusted name in Greek households by honoring culinary tradition and adapting to evolving consumer needs. As we embark on a new phase of growth—marked by the commissioning of our new facility, expansion of our product lines, and increased international presence—it was essential for us to find a partner who not only shares our long-term vision but also brings deep strategic and operational insight. Halcyon distinguished itself through its collaborative approach, hands-on expertise, and strong alignment with our values. Their commitment to innovation, ESG principles, and value creation made them the ideal partner for our next chapter. Our plan is to enhance our production capabilities, invest in cutting-edge technologies, and further elevate our brand as a proud ambassador of Greek culinary excellence both domestically and abroad.”
Lykourgos Galanopoulos, Partner at Halcyon Equity Partners, added: “Evoiki Zimi represents the kind of resilient, founder-led business we seek to partner with—deeply rooted in Greek tradition, yet fully aligned with modern consumer trends and global growth potential. We are excited to support the family of Mr. Charalampos Konstantakis and his sons, Nikos and Konstantinos, in scaling production, accelerating exports, and unlocking long-term value while preserving the authenticity that defines the brand.”
This partnership reinforces both companies’ shared commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices. Evoiki Zimi will advance its ESG agenda through energy-efficient operations, digital quality management systems, and sustainable production practices—fully aligned with Halcyon Equity Partners mission to drive long-term, responsible growth across its portfolio.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Deloitte, Lambadarios Law Firm, PwC and Sioufas & Associates Law Firm for their dedicated efforts in making this collaboration a reality.
