The Central Archaeological Council (CAC) is scheduled to review today, May 26, Wonderplant’s request to install three large-scale hydroponic greenhouses in Mavropigi, in the Municipality of Eordaia.
The company is seeking approval to install three hydroponic greenhouses, along with their accompanying infrastructure, at the so-called “Site 2,” “Site 3,” and “Site 4,” covering a total area of 1,095,151.55 square meters in the local community of Mavropigi, in the regional unit of Kozani.
The KAS’s review of the request comes just a few days after Wonderplant sought the revocation of the concession for a 652.5-acre plot in Ptolemaida for a €127 million investment. This concession had been approved on April 27. The request for revocation was filed on May 8 and accepted by the relevant ministry on May 19.
Wonderplant, founded 19 years ago by entrepreneurs Spyros Theodoropoulos, Giorgos Nendos, Kostas Arabatzis, Stavros Folias, and Kostas Makris, has invested in Petrousa, Drama.
Financially, the company reported strong profitability and improved liquidity in 2024. Cash and cash equivalents nearly doubled, reaching €28.9 million, and despite a 14.1% decline in revenue to €43.5 million, the company recorded an increase in profits.
Pre-tax profits rose by 1.9% to €6.16 million, while net profits increased by 32.4% to €6.13 million. EBITDA stood at €10.7 million, with a marginal decline, while the workforce grew to 286 employees.
Beyond the Wonderplant investment, the KAS’s current agenda includes several other cases. Among them, ZS MYK LAND I LTD is seeking amendments to an existing permit for a project in Glyfadi Aleomandra on Mykonos, while a plan in Koukaki to demolish an existing building and construct a new six-story hotel is also under review.
Also on the table is a proposal for a new five-star, 72-room hotel in Mani. Meanwhile, the Central Archaeological Council (KAS) has been asked to issue an opinion on hosting the 2026 Ferrari Cavalcade and on a request to use the Roman Agora for premium culinary events.
