TREK Consulting is founded by Thomas and Dinos Papapolyzos in Athens, Greece. Initial orientation was on emerging information and communication technologies (ICT), at their early stage of development, and on their role in improving business performance. Pioneering in ICT, the company is the first to design and apply integrated solutions for B2B eCommerce, Internet auctions and other innovative services to large Greek companies and organizations, with impressive results and substantial impact on the latter’s performance and cost savings.
Strategy and Operations Management business lines start to grow within the company. TREK Consulting undertakes important projects for Greek Ministries, EU Institutions, and private companies which emphasise the cornerstones of any business: the existence of a strategic plan with clearly defined mission, vision and goals, and the need for well- designed processes.
The first subsidiary of the company is established in Northern Greece, Thessalonica. Its main expertise initially is regional development, as well as interregional and cross-border cooperation between Greek and Central and Eastern European authorities. Currently the company offers the same full set of services as the mother company in Athens.
