Kronos Products, Inc. was founded in 1975 by Chris Tomaras, a Chicago businessman, and began its operations with the manufacturing and sale of its patented Kronomatic broiler. Gyros was in its infancy and was served only in a handful of restaurants. Various chefs made the product, each offering their own quality and taste. It was then that Kronos developed and successfully marketed the Gyrokones... pre-formed and ready to use. This eliminated the inconsistency and the standardized GYROKONES(TM) led the way to the success and popularity of the Gyros sandwich.

With these two inventions, the Kronos GYROKONES and the KRONOMATIC Broiler, Chris Tomaras opened doors of culinary opportunity to restaurant owners and Greek-hungry patrons alike. This proved to be the foundation of Kronos Products, Inc.

Equally significant was the development of many forms of portion controlled meat such as the GYROS LOAVES and pre-cooked GYROS SLICES, GYROS PORTIONS, the I.Q.F. GYROS STRIPS as well as a variety of specialty items, entrées, appetizers and pastries.

In 1980, Kronos expanded its operations by manufacturing its own Pita Bread and Tzatziki sauce. And so arose the Bakery and Dairy divisions of Kronos, in which several types of Pita Breads as well as Tzatziki sauce are made. In 1999, Kronos further expanded its operations by installing a new, state-of-the-art Pita line capable of producing 50,000 pieces per hour. Kronos currently manufactures eleven varieties of Pita Bread.

Today, Kronos is spreading the Mediterranean word beyond restaurants and fast-food operations by focusing on on-site foodservice operations such as college, hospital and business cafeterias.

From the beginning, we have understood the potential of "Mediterranean". When we established Kronos Products, Inc. in 1975, we did so with the philosophy, "to deliver all things Mediterranean to the food industry with unsurpassed, consistent quality within all our products and services."
