The Development Company ANATOLIKH A.E. was established in the form of a Societe Anonyme, according to P.D. 323/89 (K.D.K.), as a Center for Human Resources Development and Strengthening of the Local Economy of the wider area of Eastern Thessaloniki, in May 1995.

The area has more than 250,000 inhabitants in residential complexes with various characteristics, from dynamic parts of the Urban Complex to remote mountainous settlements.
In the area of Eastern Thessaloniki, the Local Government has decided to implement a strategic plan with the aim of transforming it into a green zone, respectively with similar international initiatives.
