METLEN signs new deal with Naval Group

METLEN, through M Technologies, has signed a new contract with Naval Group, which also concerns the manufacture and supply of additional high-tech torpedo doors and is part of the French group’s program for its customers around the world. The new assignment expands an active industrial cooperation and strengthens the participation of Greek production in the global supply chain of the naval defense industry. At the same time, the now permanent industrial cooperation between Naval Group and METLEN is evident, with an increasingly larger scope for the Volos Defence Hub. The importance of the agreement lies in the assignment of an additional construction project in Greece, based on the know-how, production capacity and international competitiveness of M Technologies. Its repeated choice by Naval Group is a practical recognition of METLEN’s reliability as an international industrial partner. The production will take place in Greece, leveraging M Technologies’ specialized industrial infrastructure and its expertise in composite metal structures, certified welding and high-precision manufacturing for critical naval systems. The new assignment confirms the company’s ability to meet the high technical, quality and production requirements of a leading international shipbuilding group. The new contract is a continuation of the Memorandum of Cooperation signed by the two companies on March 19, 2026, at the M Technologies facilities in Volos. The Memorandum set the framework for expanding cooperation in surface ship and submarine programs for international markets. The award of the additional torpedo doors continues this framework with a specific production object, creating conditions for further cooperation in future naval programs. At the same time, the agreement strengthens the domestic added value and export orientation of the Greek defense industry. It contributes to the preservation of specialized jobs, the development of know-how and the integration of Greek production capabilities into international value chains. METLEN has already developed an industrial partnership with Naval Group for the manufacture of specialized components and systems for the FDI frigates. In February 2026, it announced the successful delivery of two complex platform systems for the French Navy’s FDI frigate. This was followed by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in Volos, with the new contract for the manufacture of torpedo doors being a continuation of this collaboration.
