The Elica Group has been present in the cooker hood market since the 1970s, is chaired by Francesco Casoli and led by Giuseppe Perucchetti and today is the world leader in terms of units sold. It is also a European leader in the design, manufacture and sale of motors for central heating boilers. With approximately 3,000 employees and an annual output of over 17 million units, the Elica Group has nine plants, including in Italy, Poland, Mexico, Germany, India and China.
With many years’ experience in the sector, Elica has combined meticulous care in design, judicious choice of material and cutting edge technology guaranteeing maximum efficiency and reducing consumption making the Elica Group the prominent market figure it is today. The Group has revolutionised the traditional image of the kitchen cooker hood: it is no longer seen as simple accessory but as a design object which improves the quality of life.

Regions according to the Law 3852/2010 “New Architecture of the Self-Government and Decentralized Administration – Kallikratis Programme” are self-governed public bodies and represent the second degree of local government. Regions design, plan and implement policies at regional level in the context of their jurisdiction, according to the principles of sustainable development and social inclusion of the country and in line with national and European policies.
Region of Central Macedonia (RCM) is a public authority at the second degree of local government, operating at regional level (NUTS 2). It is comprised of seven regional units (former “prefectures”): Imathia, Thessaloniki, Pella, Kilkis, Pieria, Serres and Chalkidiki. Its regional administration is structured at central and regional level. According to its structure all the relative regional units organizationally belong to the central administration which is seated in Thessaloniki.
RCM borders with the Region of Western Macedonia at the west, the Region of Eastern Macedonia at the east, the Aegean Sea at the south, and the states of FYROM and Bulgaria at the north. It is the largest Region occupying 14,5% of the country’s total size and the second largest Region with 17,1% of the country’s total population (1.871.952 inhabitants), out of which 40% lives in the capital of the Region, Thessaloniki.
