METLEN and Iveco Defence Vehicles (IDV) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), establishing an exclusive collaboration for their joint participation and cooperation in the upcoming program announced by the Greek Ministry of Defence for the renewal of the existing fleet of protected and unprotected military trucks of the three branches of the Hellenic Armed Forces.
The aim of the agreement between IDV, one of the leading European manufacturers of military trucks and combat vehicles, and METLEN, through its recently announced expanded defence hub in Volos, is to combine their know-how and experience to provide state-of-the-art defence solutions to the Hellenic Armed Forces and potentially to other Armed Forces of other European Nations.
This strategic partnership with IDV, underscores METLEN’s increasing role in the defence sector, leveraging its longstanding expertise in complex metal constructions, and its strong track record in supporting high-tech defence programs, including armour welding for advanced military vehicle solutions. METLEN remains committed to investing in cutting-edge defence manufacturing, ensuring long-term sustainability and resilience for the Hellenic Armed Forces. The MoU further underlines IDV’s central role in the European defence ecosystem as a main player in the land defence sector.
The strategic collaboration between the two parties aligns with broader European efforts to strengthen defence autonomy and industrial self-sufficiency. With this MoU, METLEN and IDV create the conditions to further enhance Greece’s defence production capabilities, reinforcing the country’s industrial footprint in European defence initiatives.
