The dairy products industry N. Th. Kouroushis Ltd was founded in 1959 in Vatyli Famagusta by Ioanni Kouroushis as a family business. After the Turkish invasion, the company was reactivated in 1974 in Kofinou, in the province of Larnaca, where it is housed until today. It produces an important range of dairy and cheese products, from 100% fresh Cypriot milk, through modern production processes.
It is noted that the agreement is subject to the approval of the Competition Commission of the Republic of Cyprus.
