Evangelos Mytilineos, the Chairman and CEO of METLEN Energy & Metals, has been re-elected to a second term as President of Eurometaux, the leading voice of Europe's non-ferrous metals industry.

This comes at a critical juncture for the sector, which faces

a complex landscape of unprecedented challenges and transformative opportunities.

Guy Thiran, Director General of Eurometaux, praised Mytilineos' leadership, emphasizing his crucial role in navigating the industry through a "critical period."

With metals playing a central role in Europe's green and digital transitions, Eurometaux, under Mr. Mytilineos' guidance, has become a key influencer in shaping the EU's industrial future.

During his first term, Mr. Mytilineos was instrumental in shaping the Critical Raw Materials Act, a landmark legislation recognizing the strategic importance of metals for Europe's autonomy.

His second term will focus on implementing this act, ensuring that the European metals industry can meet the soaring demand for materials essential to clean energy technologies.

Mr. Mytilineos, a prominent figure in the European industrial landscape, stressed the vital role of metals in driving the green and digital revolutions.

"Metals are the soul of Europe’s industrial strategy," he said, urging policymakers to create a supportive environment for European metal producers to thrive sustainably and competitively.

Looking ahead, Eurometaux, under Mytilineos' leadership, will prioritize collaboration with European authorities on key initiatives such as the upcoming Clean Industrial Deal and securing a globally competitive energy supply for the metals industry.

The association will also focus on crucial reforms in EU chemicals legislation, the Emissions Trading System, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.

Mr. Mytilineos' re-election signals strong confidence in his ability to steer the European metals industry through this era of transformation, ensuring its competitiveness and contribution to a sustainable future.
