METLEN to Supply 25% of Greek Gallium Output to US Tech Company
Greek metals and energy company METLEN has signed a long-term agreement to supply approximately 25% of the annual gallium output from its planned facility in Greece to an unnamed US technology company. The deal is the first major commercial supply agreement between a European gallium producer and a US-based technology operator. Gallium is a critical material used in AI, renewable energy, telecommunications, and defence, and its production is currently concentrated in a few countries, prompting diversification efforts. METLEN is the first European company to establish integrated gallium production and secure a commercial supply agreement for continent-produced gallium. The European Commission has designated the investment as a Strategic Project under the Critical Raw Materials Act, and the European Investment Bank has approved funding through the REPowerEU framework. The terms of the deal remain confidential.
