THE COMPANY
The word ERGHANI is an adjective used by ancient Greeks for goddess ATHENA in order to symbolize the combination of physical and intellectual labour. The company ERGHANI was originally established as a pharmaceutical company in 1931 by NIKOS ZYGOUROPOULOS, grandfather of the present managers and shareholders.
The first ERGANI mainly dealt with imports, as well as distribution and promotion of pharmaceutical instruments, products and devices.
The company survived during World War II, but the death of its founder during the sixties put an end to its course. However, Panos Zygouropoulos, son and employee of Nikos, remained in the Pharmaceutical field and soon got involved in the ophthalmological market. As a director of Eastern Mediterranean sector for Allergan Inc. he was supervising and managing the distribution companies of Allegan in Greece, Turkey, Israel and Cyprus, from 1980 to 1996.
From 1996 to 2009 Panos worked as a business consultant in several leading companies, introducing many innovative products in the Greek market, such as Glaucoma Valves, Corneal Implants, Membranes, Artificial Eyes, and many other.
Nicholas Zygouropoulos, Pano’s son, after three years of successful career as a sales supervisor for Allergan’s surgical products in Greece, decided to re-establish his grandfather’s company ERGHANI, as it stands in its present state.
