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.
