A Controlled and Collaborative Model
medbest operates through a vertically coordinated structure built on:
✔ Strategic, long-standing partnerships with selected production facilities
✔ A dedicated in-house QA/QC department overseeing specifications, audits, and continuous monitoring

Our model combines development, quality governance, and international distribution within one coordinated ecosystem.
What the IFS Certification Confirms
The IFS standard evaluates companies on:
- Risk management
- Supplier approval systems
- Traceability
- Legal compliance
- Product integrity
- Documentation accuracy
- Internal audit performance
Our 99.25% score demonstrates that these systems are not theoretical
— they are embedded in our daily operations.
(Technical note: medbest is certified under the IFS Broker standard, which applies to companies responsible for placing food products on the market with full quality and compliance accountability.)
Achieving 99.25% under the IFS certification framework reflects the rigor of our internal systems and the discipline embedded in our daily operations. Quality at medbest is not reactive — it is structured, continuously monitored, and owned across departments. This result confirms that our governance model operates with clarity, traceability, and accountability at every stage.

As medbest celebrates 30 years of continuous presence in the international Mediterranean food sector, this distinction reflects more than operational precision. It represents three decades of structured growth, long-standing partnerships, and a culture built on accountability.
After 30 years of steady presence in the international food markets, this recognition reflects what we value most: consistency. In this long journey, we have built long-term partnerships, invested in expertise, and developed a culture where quality is not negotiable. The 2026 IFS distinction is not an isolated achievement. It is the natural outcome of how we have chosen to grow.
— Konstantinos Marianos, Founder & CEO, medbest s.a.
More Than Compliance
For medbest, certification is not a marketing label.
It is the outcome of structured collaboration, technical expertise, and continuous improvement.
As an award-winning Mediterranean food company, active in Greek table olives export and private label Greek food production, medbest operates as an integrated partner for retailers and HO.RE.CA professionals across international markets.
Across more than 30 countries, our partners rely on a model that integrates development, control, and international execution within one coordinated ecosystem, delivering authentic Mediterranean food products rooted in the values of the Mediterranean diet.
When you consider the discipline behind every specification, the structure behind every collaboration, and the consistency across every market, the conclusion becomes self-evident:
Quality is not a statement. It is our signature.
Great flavors are not an ambition. They are our passion.
