Naval Group strengthened its cooperation with the Greek defence and maritime industrial sectors at Euronaval 2026, signing ten contracts with Hellenic companies and two Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) on 4 November. The agreements cover FDI frigate manufacturing, maintenance and support services, alongside research and innovation projects. The signings demonstrate the breadth of Naval Group\u2019s engagement with Greek industry, bringing together companies with capabilities ranging from shipbuilding and electrical equipment to composite materials, engineering services and advanced maritime technologies. They also reaffirm the company\u2019s long-term commitment to developing cooperation with Greek industrial partners and universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five of the contracts concern manufacturing activities for FDI frigates, extending opportunities for Greek companies to contribute to the programme through specialised production and development work. SALAMIS will undertake the construction of new FDI blocks at its facilities in Salamina, while METLEN will produce torpedo doors in Volos. KAFKAS will manufacture emergency stop cabinets and electrical cabinets in Thessaloniki, and KASSIDIARIS will produce propulsion control cabinets in Piraeus. B&T COMPOSITES, based in Florina, will develop composite activities linked to low-pressure prototypes. Together, these agreements involve industrial capabilities across several regions of Greece and encompass structural construction, electrical systems, propulsion controls and composite development. The range of work illustrates how participation in naval programmes can extend beyond shipyard construction to include specialist manufacturers and technology providers within the wider industrial supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A further five contracts address maintenance and services, covering practical capabilities needed to support naval activities and associated equipment handling. FOTINAKIS will provide welding services and engineering studies, while GELASAKIS will act as a local shipping agency. HERMES will supply mobile cranes for handling heavy equipment, and IKRIOMA SKORDILAKIS will provide metal scaffolding. MARITA HELLAS will contribute safety and firefighting solutions. These agreements complement the manufacturing contracts by involving Greek service providers in a broader range of support activities. Their scope reflects the importance of local technical expertise, logistics, lifting equipment and safety services alongside the production of naval platforms and components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naval Group also signed two MoUs intended to strengthen cooperation in research and innovation programmes. The agreement with FEAC covers seabed warfare, life-cycle performance, digital twins and signature analysis. The MoU with SOTIRIA Technology focuses on the company\u2019s capabilities in marine sensors, magnetometers and seabed warfare. These areas create opportunities to connect Greek technological expertise with research into maritime capabilities and the performance of naval systems throughout their operational lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PPC INSPECTRA was also represented at the signing event. The company signed an MoU with Naval Group in July 2026 covering laboratory testing, inspection and certification services. Its presence highlighted the relationship already established between the two companies, with the first task assignments underway, as well as their commitment to future cooperation. Taken together, the contracts and MoUs broaden Naval Group\u2019s network of Greek partners across manufacturing, services and innovation. They provide further avenues for industrial participation while reinforcing the company\u2019s stated commitment to sustained cooperation with Greek industry and academia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
