History

Throughout its long history, spanning three centuries since 1889, ABEA has endured many challenges, including two world wars and various economic recessions, and has changed owners several times. Despite this, the ABEA factory has developed its own story over time, leaving a significant mark on the social and economic life of Chania city, as well as on Crete and across the country.

Studying industrial history and heritage is particularly important for regions like Crete, where industrial development occurred much later than in other European countries.

The establishment of ABEA in the late 19th century (1889) was a milestone for the modernization of the economic life of the region, as it was the first factory of its kind in Greece and one of the largest in the Mediterranean region. In the 18th century, olive oil was the main export product of Crete. ABEA created an independent economy on the island, supporting the agricultural sector, especially olive oil production, the main agricultural product of the region, and providing employment for a large number of city residents.

The company has gained recognition thanks to its carefully maintained tradition combined with an innovative approach to production. ABEA offers various types of olive oils that are popular both in Greece and internationally. ABEA is also a pioneer in producing natural cosmetics based on olive oil. By adhering to sustainable development principles, the company supports the local economy and protects the cultural heritage of the region.
