Company

In the beginning…

Kabanaos Company was founded in 1965 by Alexander Kabanaos and was active in the field of photography equipment and mainly in the retail photography channel.
Initially the company supplied the retail photography shop channel only with professional oriented products and specifically with printing paper and chemicals.
In 1975 Dimitrios Kabanaos joined forces with Nikolaos Kabanaos; the result was the formation of Fotoflex LTD. That year was a turning point towards products other than professionally oriented. Therefore collaborations were made with some of the great manufacturers of that era, such as Voigtlander and RolleiFlex, and as a result company included in its portfolio of products photographic cameras of the highest quality.
The new collaborations in combination with the growth of the product portfolio of Fotoflex and the yearning of its founders quickly sanctioned Fotoflex as one of the first companies with total coverage to the photography shop channel.
The first company’s coherence, customer and market orientation were the foundation on which the next generation based the long term growth plan.
