Apostolidis

It's been one week since the passing of Costas Apostolidis - a visionary entrepreneur, founder of industrial surge protection manufacturer Raycap and a generous philanthropist with an enduring impact on his hometown of Drama and beyond - and his death still has many Greeks reeling. 

Greece lost a very rare person on Monday. Costas Apostolidis was the founder of industrial surge protection manufacturer Raycap, but for those who knew him, he was much more than that. Self-made, modest, and almost shy, he felt the need to give - first of all to his home city, Drama.
