HOLDINGS MYTILINEOS
Event Partner
 
MYTILINEOS Holdings S.A. is today one of Greece’s largest industrial Groups, active in Metallurgy-Mining, EPC Projects, Energy and Vehicle Industry sectors. The company, established in 1990 as an international trading metallurgy and holding company, has evolved from an old family-owned metallurgy business that had began operating in 1908.

From 1991 to 1994, through a series of acquisitions and mergers, the activities of all subsidiaries were transferred to the parent Company. The Company was listed in the Athens Stock Exchange in 1995, and its share is a constituent of the FTSE 20 large-capitalisation index.

In the last years, the Company achieved a substantial growth of its turnover and profits and made a major contribution to the development of the country’s infrastructures through its activities. The acquisition of Aluminium of Greece S.A. in early 2005 signalled the beginning of a new era for the MYTILINEOS Group, as it strengthened further the Group’s significant presence in the Metallurgy sector by allowing it to also enter the industrial production.

The Group’s establishment in the energy sector was a major challenge and a key priority. The Group’s efforts in this area culminated in the conclusion of a strategic alliance in 2007 with the Spain-based Endesa utility giant for the creation of Endesa Hellas. This move established the Group as the leader of private-sector initiatives in the energy sector, while also securing the dynamic future growth of the newly-established company.

The Group’s well-planned approach to growth in the energy sector was once more demonstrated by the signature in 2008 of a Joint Venture Agreement with MOTOR OIL for the joint construction, operation and exploitation of natural gas-fired power plants with a total capacity of more than 800 MW within the MOTOR OIL refinery facilities in Ag. Theodori, Corinth.

The dynamic business growth of the MYTILINEOS Group is fully aligned with the principles of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainable Growth. For the Group, the concept of Sustainable Growth is synonymous to seeking business excellence, remaining committed to its vision and respecting society, the environment, its employees and its shareholders. The Group’s policy on sustainability is based on the harmonious coexistence of its business activities with the needs of the local communities where it operates. In this context, the Group is actively supporting major initiatives in the domains of Culture, Education, and the protection of the Environment.

For the Group, responsible growth and continuous improvement of performance in all sectors of business activity are long-standing and firm commitments.

Guided by this philosophy, the MYTILINEOS Group is making steady progress towards realising its vision of becoming the largest independent Energy producer in Greece and one of Europe’s strongest and most competitive Heavy Industry Groups in Energy, Metallurgy and Construction.
