Evangelos Mytilineos Nevertheless, the contribution of MYTILINEOS Chairman & CEO Group does not stop here. For there is also another need – the need to showcase true Greek entrepre- neurship, often lost behind the obstacles put in its way. But it is there, it is for real and it is full of dy- namism. The Group’s business volumes reflect the talent, creativity and passion that drive most of our 2,500 employees, who succeed in making the name of a Greek company be heard all over the world. And they are not the only ones with this drive. « For 2013, we aim and aspire to keep on building the future that we want for ourselves. » Identity 4 ith a dynamic business portfolio in the Despite the suffocating economic conditions sectors of Metallurgy, Energy and EPC created by the crisis in Greece, MYTILINEOS WProjects, MYTILINEOS Group epitomizes Group remains committed to: healthy and competitive Greek entrepreneurship and has evolved since its establishment in1990 into • Promoting Greece’s potential for growth, one of the Greek industry’s key pillars.
