Our History
Tradition & Craftsmanship Since 1983
Kipselotechniki was founded in 1983 in Anilio, Metsovo, by Vasileios Kostamenas and Michail Angelis, and has since focused exclusively on producing beehives renowned for their quality. Our name is well known to beekeepers, cooperatives, and beekeeping supply stores throughout Greece.
Forty years on, we remain the market leader in beehive sales, thanks to our relentless pursuit of improvement and the ideas of the beekeepers we listen to and act upon. Today we manufacture in our modern facilities in the Ioannina Industrial Area, with our own delivery fleet.
