Alterra was formed in 2002 and a new fruit and vegetable processing factory opened in Giannitsa, Pella on a huge 60,000 m2 site in 2005.
The owner, Theo Rousopoulos, had
several years’ experience of processing
frozen fruit and vegetables and the new
factory was designed and built by him
to the highest technical standards.
Since then, the well rounded and
experienced Alterra management team
has grown the company’s annual
production to over 15,000 tons per
year, with addit ional expansion planned
for 2013.
In July 2013 Lamex Food Group
acquired a Joint Venture stake in
Alterra. Lamex is one of the world's
largest privately owned importers and
exporters of frozen and chil led foods,
with 18 off ices and annual sales in
excess of US$ 1.25 bi l l ion. Under the
new joint venture Lamex Agrifoods, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Lamex Food
Group, provides f inancial support and
acts in partnership with Alterra on
worldwide sales and logistics.

relationship for several years, but the
addit ion of Lamex’s f inancial strength,
supported by their sales, logistics and
technical ski l ls in frozen fruit adds a
new dimension for the future of the
company.
The core business of processing frozen
sweet cherries, apricot and peach,
augmented out of season with frozen
Spinach, Peas, Green Beans and Okra
continues unchanged
15, 00Tones of frozen product produced annually
