EIB provides €90 million financing to METLEN for Europe's first gallium production investment in Greece

The European Investment Bank is injecting €90 million into Metlen Energy & Metals, backing what will be Europe's first EIB-supported gallium production project in Greece. This financing targets strategic investments at Metlen's Aluminium of Greece complex, specifically modernizing bauxite mining and developing a new gallium facility. For a global industrial and energy company like Metlen, already positioned at the forefront of the energy transition, this move directly strengthens the EU's critical raw materials supply. It's a clear alignment with the European Critical Raw Materials Act, aiming to secure essential inputs for green and digital technologies.
