In today’s increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape, defence and security have returned to the forefront of national and European priorities. The EU’s renewed focus on strategic autonomy, including the development of a common defence doctrine and enhanced investment in defence capabilities, is reshaping the role of the defence industry across the continent. This shift not only reflects the urgent need for resilience in the face of global uncertainty but also highlights the sector’s growing macroeconomic significance, particularly in terms of industrial capacity, innovation, and employment.
Against this backdrop, ElvalHalcor stands out as a trusted industrial partner, actively contributing to the defence supply chain in Greece, Europe, and beyond. The company’s deep manufacturing know-how and long-standing presence in the sector make it a key enabler of strategic programmes through both its Copper and Aluminium segments.
Through the copper segment of ElvalHalcor, the company delivers critical components to the defence manufacturing ecosystem, including:
- Copper alloy strips for the production of small and medium caliber ammunition.
- Cups for the production of cases and bullets for small caliber ammunition.
- Discs and plates made of copper alloys for the production of medium and large caliber ammunition.
Meanwhile, Elval, the Aluminium Rolling Division of ElvalHalcor, plays an active role in global defence applications. It supplies high-performance flat rolled aluminium solutions for:
- Naval ships, including those for the U.S. Navy and European naval programmes.
- Armoured vehicles and anti-ballistic missile defence systems.
- Unmanned maritime platforms and mobile operations rooms.
ElvalHalcor’s track record includes specialised defence projects with global reach across Europe, the USA, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East.
As Europe redefines its approach to security and defence, ElvalHalcor continues to strengthen its position as a key industrial partner. With a focus on reliability, advanced materials, and international collaboration, the company plays a vital role in reinforcing the EU’s strategic autonomy and ensuring the resilience of critical supply chains.
