In late July 2026, Greek aluminium and copper group ElvalHalcor announced a 78 % jump in pre‑tax profit and an 18 % rise in revenue for the first half of the year, attributing the gains to higher international metal prices and a shift toward higher‑value products. The company also launched a €455 million investment programme despite a share‑price decline.

A week later, fellow Greek industrial conglomerate Viohalco reported a 14 % increase in H1 revenue to €4.3 billion and a 62 % surge in pre‑tax profit. Growth was driven by higher sales volumes, strong metal price trends, and continued capital spending, including the acquisition of a UK steel‑tube plant. Both firms highlighted the resilience of their diversified portfolios amid broader macro‑economic uncertainty.

Together, the reports illustrate a period of robust earnings and expanded investment activity across Greece’s metal‑manufacturing sector in the first half of 2026.
