Takis Charalambous & Co. Ltd is Cyprus preeminent designer, manufacturer, installer and importer of office furniture and other contract furnishings products.

Background

Founded in 1966 in the manufacturing domain of traditional home furniture. Through the skillful hands of the founder Mr. Takis Charalambous and his entire crew, the Company has in little time expanded and became quite popular leader in Cyprus for its first class products. In 1970, together with the erection of the Company’s first full-line production plant at Yerolakkos Industrial Area, Mr. Takis Charalambous foresaw the necessity for manufacturing of contemporary business furniture to address real needs rather than to conform to accepted standards. Unfortunately, the impact of the 1974 Turkish invasion to Cyprus was really devastating as our Company lost all its assets.
Today, proud to say, through our customers loyalty, trust and satisfaction, we are once again operating from our second private factory spaciously ambled with brand new fleet of state-of-the-art CNC machinery, fully-equipped warehouse facilities and all backed-up by a team of skillful employees.

Business Ethics

The founder of the Company had always had very clearly defined business ethics and work standards. Today, still being a family business, we are proud to confirm the continuation of his ethics and standards in the same way as he always visualized them:

• Top quality raw materials and craftsmanship
• Prompt response and absolute flexibility to any customer request
• Skillful employees in a teamwork environment

Sales

The Company’s sales policy had almost always been exclusively directed to Cyprus distributors and agents for reselling purposes as well as towards major private and government projects by working closely with architects and designers. Over the past few years, we have also thoroughly developed our Export Sales Dept. through which we cover various European Union countries such as UK, France, Greece and Belgium and various Arab Gulf and Middle East countries such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen and Sultanate of Oman.

On 1st of August 2000, the Limassol Showroom commenced operation. Both showrooms are operating under the brand name “Studio Office”. Today, through the experienced human elements of our sales team, we are in the position to listen, study and present any office furniture solution in any office environment.
