About us
The company Stelios Panayiotou & Sons Ltd is a family business of Importers and Distributors, Wholesalers, Contractors, Retailers and Manufacturers of specialist products for the building trade.
In 1965 Mr. Stelios Panayiotou set up a small factory consisting of a manual chain-link fencing machine of his own design with 2 or 3 operatives. With the help of his wife, he produced chain-link fencing while also acting as a Commission Agent.
The success of the factory encouraged Stelios to develop new lines of business and in 1974 he began trading glass and acrylic sheet from a small shop at 16 Zalongou Street, Limassol.
In 1975 the Company had its first premises built at 45 Vassileos Pavlou Avenue in Limassol. Then, in 1979 Stelios Panayiotou founded the company “Stelios Panayiotou & Sons Ltd” in which his sons Stavros, Andreas and Panayiotis Panayiotou participate – each managing a different department.
In 1982 the manual machine was replaced with a German machine Type AF30 of the latest technology. Then in 1998 this was replaced again with two fully automatic machines: Type DF32 from Germany and Type MG3 from Italy for the production of high quality chain-link wire fencing.
In 1983 a workshop was set up for the cutting and fitting of structural glass and mirror and in 1988 the Company opened a shop selling specialist building products.
