Mytilineos has reaffirmed its stance that metals are central to Europe's industrial future, coinciding with a leadership transition at the European Metals Association.
Inge Hofkens has taken the helm of the association, succeeding previous leadership during the group's general assembly in Athens.
The event, hosted at METLEN's headquarters, brought together board members, industry representatives, and officials from the European Commission, underscoring the political and economic weight of the sector's strategic direction.
The handover highlights the growing importance of coordinated industry action as the EU seeks to secure supply chains for critical raw materials.
Mytilineos, a key player in the Greek industrial landscape, has increasingly positioned itself at the intersection of energy transition and materials processing.
The company's public endorsement of the metals sector's role in Europe's future aligns with broader policy goals to reduce dependency on external suppliers and boost domestic production capabilities.
