MAGISTER ARTIUM GROUP
MAGISTER ARTIUM GROUP was founded in 2008
by Pantelis G. Velentzas, whose vision was, on one
hand, to enhance the extroversion of Greek enter-
prises and, on the other hand, to identify and intro-
duce international companies to the Greek market,
offering holistic business management services.
The company is active in the fields of retail trade, con-
sulting, learning and research. During these three
years, MAGISTER ARTIUM GROUP has represent-
ed major Greek and foreign companies from the
fields of clothing and accessories, packaged foods,
cosmetics and catering, playing a catalytic role in
regard to their growth. Among others, we introduced
the Italian men's fashion firm BOGGI Milano to the
Greek market through the opening of 3 sales outlets,
as well as the American chocolate brand Hershey's,
for the first time in Europe. We also worked together
with KORRES NATURAL PRODUCTS for the open-
ing of its stores abroad, as well as with the EVEREST
catering chain.
Our strength lies in our excellent cooperation with
employees, scientific associates, researchers, suppli-
ers, distributors, Universities, consumers and other
social groups, always honouring and trying to
improve these collaborations. Through the provision
of holistic services, our activity is focused on:
-
Identifying opportunities for the development of
Greek brands abroad, offering the services
required for the international growth and extrover-
sion of Greek enterprises.
-
Identifying opportunities for the development of
foreign brands in the Greek market, in order to get
them to invest in our country, enhancing business
activity and employment.
-
Enhancing the knowledge of both enterprises and
their employees, offering integrated corporate and
business learning services. In this context, we are
undertaking the development and organization of
Corporate Universities, aimed at the life-long
learning of employees, in line with international
trends.

RAYCAP
Raycap is a Greek company that, since its inception in 1987,
has been focused on the research and development of inno-
vative products, technological solutions and integrated servic-
es in telecommunications, energy and electrical protection.
The company's emphasis on cutting-edge technologies and
excellent human resources made it one of the most dynamic
players in its sector.
Its philosophy and orientation are to develop innovative prod-
ucts that offer multiple benefits to users. A typical example of
such products is the world-class surge protection systems
designed and manufactured by Raycap. These systems solve
once and for all the problem of permanent damages to elec-
tronic equipment owing to power surges caused by lightning
or other causes. Raycap's surge protection products are used
both in houses, for the protection of modern household appli-
ances, and in mission-critical applications for the provision of
complete protection to telecommunication installations,
Photovoltaic parks, airport radars, hospitals, transformers,
industrial facilities, wind turbines etc.
Their use guarantees the substantial reduction of operating costs and a high degree of availability and relia-
bility of the operating units of the company or organization that uses them. Raycap's protection systems are
exported to the most developed countries, and are preferred by leading companies worldwide.
In 2011, Raycap's exports are estimated at more than €80 million, accounting for 90% of its total sales. The
company employs 280 people worldwide, of whom 100 work at the company's plant, in the Industrial Zone of
Drama.
