establishment in Cyprus. It was founded by Christopher Nicolaou in 1906 when Cyprus was still a British colony. Mr Nicolaou has led successfully the company through the years as the British Printing
Newspaper acknowledges in its issue in 1948. (see article). The strategy of the company during its four-generation
of existence is 2-fold: (i) to invest in modern technology and (ii) to penetrate into markets for new products. Nicolaou Printers was the first to import laminating
machinery in the early 70's. Security printing and personalization was unknown in Cyprus until 1985 when Nicolaou Printers started the production

the latest technology machinery and setting up a separate department. 
Furthermore, in 1987
the company has been awarded by Zanders Feinpapiere AG, a major papermaker company, a prize for outstanding printing.After the death of Christopher Nicolaou in 1958, his son Nicos Chr Nicolaou had taken over the company until his death in 1994.
Today, CEO and Chairman of the company is Christopher N Nicolaou, the grandson of the late founder. Since 1998 his son Nicos Nicolaou has
also joined in the business.
