ETEM is the oldest aluminum extrusion company in Greece.
ETEM is an industry leader in aluminium extrusion with more than 52 years of experience and global presence. From the beginning until today, the company's purpose is to generate products with added value and turn the raw material into sustainable products.
ETEM is the first integrated designer and producer of architectural systems and aluminium profiles for industrial applications in Greece.
