Metlen and Naval Group to collaborate on naval projects

Both companies expressed a shared ambition to support complex naval systems and contribute to a "more resilient" European defence ecosystem, adding that the agreement also reflects the growing industrial ties between France and Greece.

The industrial participation programme for the FDI for Hellenic Navy project was initiated in 2022 and currently involves more than 70 Greek companies.

Metlen noted it continues to invest in its manufacturing capabilities, including the development of a six-plant industrial hub in Volos. These facilities are intended to support major European programmes and advance critical technologies, it added.
