Metalmanu is a Metal Cluster. It is made up by the Scientific Team (Members of Staff from the Local scientific establishments and the Metal Enterprises of the area). It was formed in 2008 and comprises approximately 300 businesses divided in 5 sectors:
- Machining
- Metal Constructions
- Aluminium Frames
- Special Constructions
- Metal Trade
Currently Metalmanu Members are not tied by any formal legal contract but there is a mutual agreement among participants for co-operation in a Memorandum of Cooperation. The Enterprises range from very small employing 2-3 staff to quite big with over 50 employees. Most of them are family owned and this is the type of business the Greek Economy Mainly depends on. For some of these companies the Public electricity Corporation is the only client. Some have managed to expand and are doing business elsewhere.
