The company started under the "Stoiximan" brand name in Greece and now operates two brands in 12 countries: "Betano" (Portugal, Romania, Germany, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Canada, Nigeria) and "Stoiximan" (Greece, Cyprus). It employs more than 2.000 people across all the above mentioned countries.
On June 2023 the company was employing aproximately 1440 people in Greece (in Athens 1200 employees and in Thessaloniki 240). The company estimates that it will employ almost 3000 people by the end of the year 2024 across all the above countries.
