- Biokarpet S.A. is a Greece-based diversified industrial company primarily engaged in three sectors: textiles, metallurgy, and information technology. Founded in 1950 and headquartered in Athens, Biokarpet produces and markets a broad portfolio of textile products including handmade and machine-made carpets, moquettes, blankets, flokati rugs, linens, throws, furnishing fabrics, curtains, and specialized children’s carpet designs in cooperation with Disney. The company also offers carpet cleaning and storage services. In metallurgy, Biokarpet operates through its subsidiaries such as Exalco S.A. and its branches in Bulgaria and Romania, manufacturing and trading aluminum-extruded products, aluminum frames, and glass panes with powder coating and anodization capabilities. Its IT segment, operating through Albio Data S.A., provides software design, development, and consultancy services, alongside wholesale distribution of PC machines and office equipment. Biokarpet also produces and distributes renewable energy through photovoltaic plants. Geographically, Biokarpet serves markets across Greece, the European Union, the United States, Japan, and the Middle East. Recent major developments include strategic expansion in the renewable energy sector with requests for five new photovoltaic plants totaling significant power capacity in the Larissa region. In 2024-2025, the company executed a capital return transaction, reducing its share par value and returning capital to shareholders, reflecting an active capital management strategy. Biokarpet continues to strengthen its retail presence operating a network of stores and selling products online, indicating an ongoing push into direct-to-consumer sales channels. The company also maintains exclusive commercial partnerships, notably with Disney for children’s carpet designs and as the exclusive Greek representative for the Spanish Ka International brand, which offers upholstery, curtains, decorative species, and furniture for home and contract use. Biokarpet’s key business segments include: - Textile manufacturing and sales: carpets (handmade and machine-made), moquettes, blankets, flokati rugs, linens, throws, furnishing fabrics, curtains, and children’s decorative carpets. - Metallurgy: production and trading of aluminum profiles, structural and architectural aluminum products through subsidiaries Exalco S.A., Exalco Bulgaria, and Exalco Romania. - Information Technology: software design and consultancy, wholesale of PC machines and office equipment via Albio Data S.A. - Renewable energy production through photovoltaic plants. The company operates in the consumer discretionary sector targeting both consumer retail and professional contract markets including churches, hotels, casinos, conference centers, banks, offices, and ships. It also invests actively in export growth with a strong presence in Eurozone countries, the United States, Balkans, Japan, and the Middle East, reflecting a well-diversified international footprint. Biokarpet S.A. is a privately held company with approximately 655 employees. It maintains its principal industrial and commercial operations out of Larissa and Athens, Greece. The company has demonstrated sustained expansion and diversification through acquisitions, such as the 1993 acquisition of Exalco S.A. and the 2000 acquisition of Persika S.A., enhancing its manufacturing capabilities and product range. This comprehensive profile positions Biokarpet as a multi-industry manufacturer and service provider with robust exposure to textile goods, aluminum products, IT solutions, and renewable energy within Greece and international markets. Recent capital management and renewable energy initiatives underscore its strategic adaptability and growth focus.
