Greece's geographic position creates a challenging environment for metal structures. The high salinity of the Aegean and Ionian seas accelerates the oxidation of traditional metals, making the demand for cor ten steel plate essential for long-term structural integrity in coastal regions.
In the industrial hubs of Thessaloniki and Athens, the shift towards mild low alloy steel has allowed manufacturers to balance cost-efficiency with the mechanical strength required for heavy machinery and transport infrastructure.
Currently, the Greek construction sector is integrating more low carbon steels to meet stringent EU Green Deal emissions targets, focusing on recyclability and lower energy consumption during the rolling process.
