MYTILINEOS presented its new strategy for value creation and continuous growth. Chairman & CEO Ev. Mytilineos, welcomed all to a new era for MYTILINEOS, based on the global trends of energy transition and digital transformation and focused on sustainable development and circular economy.
With this new transformation “MYTILINEOS –Energy & Metals” is being created. An even more dynamic and flexible company, ready to face current and future challenges. Moreover, today’s announcement follows the successful transformation made by the Company in 2017, managing to create a large Greek industrial and energy multinational company, which more than doubled its size, expanded its activities in all five continents and improved its credit rating.
Through this new transformation, the Company seeks to create:
- A new organizational structure adapted to this current environment and the new scale of the Company, supporting in that way its further development while providing the investment community with a direct understanding of MYTILINEOS’ activities.
- A functional model that further favors i) internal synergies, ii) effective decision-making and iii) effective internal communication, for a progressive decentralization of management decisions.
- Acknowledgement and further increase of its actual market capitalization, while targeting investment grade rating for its lending.
- Focus on the development of Human Resources, for meritocratic advancement, with a clear value proposition.
- Further development in activities where opportunities arise (e.g., Infrastructure & Concessions in Greece, new technologies, new international markets).
The new corporate transformation upgrades MYTILINEOS’ position in the field of infrastructure with the creation of two new subsidiaries that will be strategically positioned to properly exploit opportunities both in Greece and internationally. Specifically, the following companies are created:
- ΜΕΤΚΑ ΑΤΕ specializing in the field of construction (general contracting) led by: President - Ev. Chrysafis και CEO – D. Benroubi
- Μ Concessions which will be the investment arm in concessions and PPPs projects in Greece and abroad., led by: President - El. Karaindros και CEΟ – P. Gardelinos
MYTILINEOS’ new corporate structure covers two business Sectors
- Energy Sector, led by: I. Kalafatas - Chief Executive Director, Energy.
- Metallurgy Sector, led by: D. Stefanidis - Chief Executive Director, Metallurgy.
With these changes, MYTILINEOS is strategically placed at the forefront of the energy transition as a leading and integrated green utility, with an international presence, while establishing itself as a reference point of “green” metallurgy in the European landscape.
MYTILINEOS’ structural transformation aims at the Company’s growth and the improvement of the competitiveness of all its activities at an international level. At the same time, it facilitates the achievement of the targets set regarding Net Zero, for 2030 and 2050, through actions to reduce energy consumption, increase the supply of energy from RES, as well as increase recycling and utilization of residues of the production process, in the context of the circular economy.
