S.A. formed in 1980, and Kriti Episkopi Shipping Co. formed in 1995.
Agency clients included G. and N.J. Vardinoyannis, Varnibros Corporation, Varnima Corporation, Varnikos Corporation, Varnicos Primero, Secundo and Tercero, and Varnicos Corporation S.A. These are retained as separately named clients rather than merged into the agency’s identity.
