He and Brother John expanded their father's modest grocery and imported-foods business into a profitable range of activities that now include imported liquors, real estate and shipping.

On frequent trips back to supervise, Tom Pappas noted the improving Greek economy, began serious planning for the industrial complex that he first considered building 25 years ago. He persuaded the U.S. corporations to participate, got bank loans in the U.S. and Athens to supplement...
