In 2000, MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A. entered dynamically the vehicle industry sector through the acquisition of a 43% stake in the HELLENIC VEHICLE INDUSTRY S.A.
The company's know-how and expertise have allowed it to undertake in 2006 the manufacture in Greece of the ultramodern LEOPARD 2 HEL armoured tank. Local manufacturing takes place primarily at the METKA facilities in Volos and at the HELLENIC VEHICLE INDUSTRIES facilities in Thessaloniki.
