- Metlen Energy & Metals S.A. operates as a global industrial and energy company, organized into two main interconnected sectors: Energy and Metallurgy. The Energy sector offers a comprehensive range of services including electric power generation through thermal units and renewables, natural gas supply and trading, electricity retail supply for residential and corporate customers, infrastructure projects for electricity networks, energy efficiency solutions, smart city services, and hydrogen projects. The Metallurgy sector operates the only vertically integrated bauxite, alumina, and primary aluminum production plant within the European Union, with proprietary port facilities and an annual capacity exceeding 190,000 tons of primary aluminum and 865,000 tons of alumina. The company actively pursues circular metallurgy using innovative pilot-proven technologies to extract critical metals such as gallium from industrial residues. Metlen serves markets internationally across more than 30 countries on five continents, employing over 9,000 people globally. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Greece, it underwent a major corporate transformation in 2022, rebranding from Mytilineos to Metlen Energy & Metals and reinforcing its commitment to sustainable development and digital transformation.
Recently, Metlen has made significant strategic advances including inclusion in the FTSE 100 Index in September 2025, highlighting its growth and investor confidence. The company established long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and strategic partnerships with Copec EMOAC in Chile, ENGIE in the UK, and HRE (Brookfield Renewable Partners) in South Korea, expanding its global footprint in renewables and energy services. It commissioned major projects such as a circular metals pilot plant, an advanced bauxite-alumina-gallium production facility, and a 330 MW standalone battery storage unit expected in mid-2026. The financial profile remains robust with a consolidated turnover of approximately €5.68 billion and EBITDA of €1.08 billion as of 2024. Metlen emphasizes sustainability, reporting in multiple ESG indices including the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the London Stock Exchange’s ESG Index where it ranked first in the multiline utilities sector in 2024.
Metlen Energy & Metals also includes subsidiaries and integrated operations such as Aluminium of Greece, METKA, Protergia, and others, which expanded the company's scale and market reach. Its operations span from mining and metallurgy to renewable energy development and EPC infrastructure projects, positioning it as a leading industrial and green utility company in Europe and globally. The company continuously invests in innovative industrial transformation and sustainable practices aligned with the circular economy model to enhance synergy and competitive advantage across its business divisions.
This comprehensive approach underpins Metlen’s position as a leading vertically integrated energy and metals group with a strategic focus on industrial digitalization, environmental stewardship, and resilient growth across diverse international markets.
