METALS SECTOR
METLEN Energy & Metals holds a leading position in the Metals sector. It operates the only vertically integrated bauxite, alumina,
and primary aluminium production unit in the EU with its own port facilities, and the largest cogeneration power plant.
Additionally, it has made a strong entry into the recycled aluminum market.
The Metals sector includes the Delphoi-Distomo facility for bauxite production, the Aluminum of Greece plant, the largest
independent producer of recycled (secondary) aluminum, EPALME, the Volos plant for heavy and complex metal constructions,
and the zinc and lead metallurgy plant, Sometra. In 2023, the company acquired IMERYS BAUXITES GREECE, and through its newly
named subsidiary European Bauxites, solidified its position as the largest bauxite producer in Europe.
The international business activity of the Sector is a driving force for the national economy, but also for the development of the
Greek periphery. The "Aluminium of Greece" plant, having completed almost 60 years of operation and more than 20 years of
continuous development, with investments that exceeded € 600 million for the technological modernization of its facilities and
the development of its production and productivity, is one of the strong pillars of Greek industry and has established itself as one
of the strongest representatives of the sector in the European Union, with an annual production capacity exceeding 180,000 tons
of primary cast aluminum and 865,000 tons of alumina. At the same time, METLEN continues to invest in the production of
recycled (secondary cast) aluminium, in which the circular economy is fully implemented, reaching a production capacity of
65,000 tons per year, significantly reducing total energy consumption per ton of production and carbon dioxide emissions. At the
same time, the new major investment announced at the beginning of 2025, aimed at expanding bauxite and alumina production
and constructing a new facility for gallium production, is expected to strengthen both Europe's autonomy in critical raw materials
and Greece's strategic position, along with that of the company, on the global stage.
METLEN procures two main raw materials used in the alumina production process: bauxite and sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)
and markets two grades of alumina products: anhydrous alumina and hydrated alumina. Moreover, METLEN markets two main
