Mission & Goals
The Association of Industries of Central Greece is a regional Greek Industrial Association and was established in 1982. Today it represents more than 115 industry members, covering various fields of manufacturing such as mining and metallurgy, energy, building materials, high-tech manufacturing equipment and solutions, architectural products, maritime, food processing and packaging. The members directly employee more than 17.000 people and the annual turnover of our member companies corresponds to the 4,0% of the Greek GDP while more than 55% of it represents exports. Our members contribute to more than 8% of the Greek exports (excluding petrochemicals and ships). Some of our member companies are industry leaders in their respective sectors (national and international champions). Among our member companies, there are both important energy producers and energy-intensive industries. The Association promotes the interests of manufacturing industries at national and international level.
EU Legislative Interests
Fair Competition (We want to participate in the discussion of the EU regarding the coherence of the Internal Single Market). Free Trade Agreements (we support the position of certain members of our Association regarding the nature of certain Free Trade Agreements of EU with third countries which are not beneficial for the interest of our industries by providing documentation) Acquisitions made by non-EU countries Energy Competitiveness (Our Association is active in discussing energy measures with the Greek Ministry of Energy and the Environment while we participate through delegates in the Energy and Climate Committee of EUROMETAUX). Industrial Strategy and Competitiveness (The upcoming Clean Industrial Deal is of top importance for our Association and we intend to participate in Antwerp on the evening of 26/2/25 and the roundtable discussions. Critical Raw Materials (Our Association is participating in an effort to include Secondary Raw Materials into the CRMA i.e to make exports of copper and aluminum scrap outside of Europe less easy in order to boost Circularity and protect urban Mines).
Communication Activities
We had the chance to host the Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms Mrs. Elisa Ferreira in our General Assembly in Greece 2021 and the Commissioner of Energy Mrs. Kadri Simson participated in our General Assembly of 2022 via a recorded video message. We participate in several meetings with EU officials for trade measures and regulations under amendment.
