Mytilineos is new head of Eurometaux
Evangelos Mytilineos, CEO of Greek aluminium and energy company Mytilineos, was elected president of Europe’s metals association Eurometaux at its General Assembly this week.
He succeeds Mikael Staffas, who had held the post from October 2018. Guy Thiran, Eurometaux’s director general, commented: “I am thrilled to welcome Evangelos Mytilineos as our new president. His rich experience in the aluminium and energy sectors makes him exceptionally well placed to lead our industry through today’s unprecedented energy crisis. At a time when Europe commits to improving its strategic autonomy for the metals and minerals required in the energy transition, it’s fitting that we will be headed by a real industrial leader with full supply chain operations from the mine to product.”
Mytilineos commented that “the next two years will be critical. Our top priority will be to push for adequate and globally competitive energy costs for all. This is fundamental to securing jobs, social stability, and economic growth around Europe,” said the Mytilineos chairman and CEO.
