Our History
Paul Della Tolla
Paul Della Tolla (snr) born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1909, of Greek Italian descent (island of Tinos) moved to Athens, Greece in the mid 30’s, where he started a cotton merchandising and ginning business until the start of World War II. During the 1940-45 War, enlisted in the Greek Army and later on in the Greek Resistance movement and was awarded the Franco-British Cross.
At the end of the War and the Civil War that followed in Greece, he started again his cotton merchandising and ginning business and expanded into the grain business inaugurating thus his collaboration with Continental Grain in 1957. It is this business that gave birth in 1981 to Conti SA – Athens that later was merged with Dimitriaki S.A. in its present form. Paul Della Tolla (snr) is survived by his son Paul and 2 grand children, Katia and Yianna Della Tolla.
Michel Fribourg
Born in Belgium in 1913, he joined Continental Grain in 1931, and he became the fifth generation of his family to direct Continental Grain. He was the CEO from 1944 to 1988 and chairman until 1994. During five decades at the helm of Continental Grain, he expanded his family’s business into more than 70 countries and transformed Continental Grain into one of the largest agribusiness firms in the world. He was a dominant figure in the international grain business, and he was a strong advocate of open world trade and freedom from government involvement in agricultural markets.

The following people were valued colleagues and employees of Dimitriaki S.A., who will always stay in our thoughts and hearts.
Antonios Pipinis
He was born in 1927, and he was admitted to AUEB, from where he graduated in 1951. He started working with Dimitriaki SA in 1987, as a tax consultant. His relationship with the company was unique, as he modestly and tirelessly served the history and vision of Dimitriaki’s people. His presence there functioned as an inexhaustible source of prestige and undivided support to the company’s complex tax activity. He remains alive for those who were lucky enough to know him.

We are proud to have had her with us all those years, we miss her, and we will always remember her.
Stefan Cremer
He was born in 1952 and he was our President but he also –and above all- was an inspiring and supportive friend. Stefan always cared for our success in business but also in personal life. He will always be with us.
Takis Stathopoulos
He was born in 1954 and he started working with us in 1989. Since then, until the last days of his life, he worked efficiently in the trading and handling of grains and grew up like all of us along with the company, in which he had been working for 29 years. Takis will be extremely missed and he will remain unforgettable for everything that characterized him.
