PROFILE
The Caneplex Michalakis Company was founded in 1963 by Michael Michalakis, having its headquarters in Manolada, Ilia, with the object until today of the manufacture of reeds, with split or whole cane with the original purpose of export.
When our competitors are looking to import the cheapest product, we are proceeding with two new contracts to expand our plantations for organic certification!
Vertically integrated craft industry
The only vertically integrated craft industry producing knitted canes in its own plantations.
Zinc-coated wire
We are the only ones using zinc-coated wire of specific standards rather than just galvanised wire for tying the knitted canes.
NOP certification
The first craft industry at a pan-European level having an NOP certification for organically produced products due to the cultivation of canes rather than randomly cutting them.
Two-year-old cane
OUR KNITTED CANES, BEARING THE INDICATION “CANE PLEX TWO-YEAR-OLD CANE” ON THE PACKAGING STRAP, ARE THE ONLY KNITTED CANES FOR SHADING ON THE MARKET MADE FROM NATURAL MATERIALS, HAVING 100% NOP CERTIFICATION BY THE USDA, NAMELY THE HIGHEST CERTIFICATION BODY FOR ORGANICALLY PRODUCED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. NO OTHER NATURAL MATERIAL FOR SHADING HAS A SIMILAR CERTIFICATION.
WHAT DISTINGUISHES US
We are the only craft industry producing knitted canes exclusively made from TWO-YEAR-OLD canes (canes, which have been for two years on our plantation) as we have our own plantations. This is also the reason why we are granted the ΝΟΡ Certification ( NATIONAL ORGANIC PROGRAM) by the USDA.
We let canes grow and following the selective harvest of two-year-old canes, only during the winter season, we leave one-year-old canes for the next harvest. Two-year-old canes are stiffer and more resistant to processing and are staying longer on the product. They may be maintained in any way and do not shrink like one-year-old canes after being cut down.
RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
The company as well as its employees truly show their respect for the environment, besides it is the environment providing our raw materials.
