METLEN, through M Technologies, has signed a new contract with Naval Group to manufacture and supply additional torpedo tube doors for the French group’s international naval programmes. The new award expands an existing industrial partnership and strengthens Greek manufacturing’s role in the global naval defence supply chain.
The agreement relates to Naval Group’s international operations. Its significance lies in the award of additional manufacturing work in Greece, drawing on M Technologies’ expertise, production capacity and international competitiveness, the company said in a statement. Naval Group’s repeated selection of M Technologies is a tangible recognition of METLEN’s reliability as an international industrial partner.
Production will take place in Greece, making use of M Technologies’ specialised industrial facilities and expertise in complex metal structures, certified welding and high-precision manufacturing for critical naval systems. The new award confirms the company’s ability to meet the demanding technical, quality and production requirements of a leading international shipbuilding group.
The new contract follows the Memorandum of Cooperation signed by the two companies on 19 March 2026 at M Technologies’ facilities in Volos. The memorandum established a framework for expanding cooperation on surface ship and submarine programmes for international markets.
The award for the additional torpedo tube doors gives that framework a specific production component, creating scope for further cooperation on future naval programmes.
At the same time, the agreement strengthens domestic value added and the export orientation of the Greek defence industry. It helps sustain specialised jobs, develop expertise and integrate Greek manufacturing capabilities into international value chains.
METLEN has already established industrial cooperation with Naval Group to manufacture specialised components and systems for FDI frigates. In February 2026, it announced the successful delivery of two complex platform systems for an FDI frigate of the French Navy. The signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation in Volos followed, and the new contract to manufacture torpedo tube doors continues that partnership.
