Evangelos Mytilineos | Chairman and CEO, Mytilineos S.A.

Evangelos Mytilineos is the Chairman and CEO of MYTILINEOS S.A., one of Greece’s leading industrial groups.

Born in Athens in 1954, Mr. Mytilineos holds a BSc in Economics from the University of Athens and an MSc in Economics from the London School of Economics.

In 1978 he took over the family business, which was founded in 1908 representing metal and steel product manufacturers, whereas in 1990 he established MYTILINEOS Holdings Group, which has evolved into the largest private group in Greece in the sectors of power and gas, metallurgy and mining, and EPC projects, with a turnover of more than €1.5 billion in 2018.

Through strategic decisions, he expanded the company’s operations by acquiring the majority of the shares of the listed specialized construction company METKA S.A., as well as Aluminium of Greece, eventually making it the largest vertically integrated alumina and aluminium producer in Europe. In the early 2000s, MYTILINEOS Group entered the energy sector with Protergia being the Group’s flagship company.

In 2017, a wide corporate transformation was approved by a vast majority in the General Meetings of MYTILINEOS Group and METKA, through which all main subsidiaries METKA, Aluminum of Greece and Protergia merged into a single corporate entity, MYTILINEOS SA. Moreover, 2018 featured the acquisition of EP.AL.ME. S.A., operating in industrial production, processing and trading of metals, as well as the full absorption of M&M Gas S.A. (today MNG Trading)

In 2019, MYTILINEOS announced that it will become the sole shareholder (100%) of METKA EGN Ltd., a company  focused on development and construction of utility scale projects for the global solar power and energy storage markets.

Today, Evangelos Mytilineos is Vice President of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV), simultaneously serving as President of SEV’s Energy Committee.
