Papastratos optimistic about the future

Papastratos and its parent company Philip Morris feel justified regarding the 300-million-euro investment announced in March, one of the biggest by a foreign group in Greece since 2009.

The investment may create up to 650 jobs. Chief executive Christos Harpantidis told Bloomberg on Friday that others should follow the firm’s example.
