ElvalHalcor and Sidenor renovate the primary school in Limni, Evia as a contribution to the restoration of Northern Evia.

 
Staying true to its strong commitment to always supporting local communities and taking initiatives to address emerging needs, ElvalHalcor is happy to announce the successful completion of the reconstruction of the Limni, Evia Primary School, in the Municipality of Mantoudi-Limni-Agia Anna. This voluntary action by ElvalHalcor is part of the company’s pledge of EUR 500,000 in the initiative taken by Viohalco to support the reconstruction of Northern Evia with an amount of EUR 1,000,000, further to the devastation caused by the wildfires that affected the area in 2021. 
 
Following a long period of intensive work, the Limni Primary School was radically renovated and upgraded energy-wise, offering a pleasant and functional space to students, thanks to the kind contribution of ElvalHalcor and Sidenor and the active involvement of local authorities, which coordinated the project effectively. Among others, the school’s reconstruction project included waterproofing and heat insulation work, special tests and repairs of ceramic roofs, replacement of doors and windows, painting, repairs of bearing structure, and electrical engineering. The project’s supervision, monitoring and management were assumed by Ergosteel, a technical company applying top quality and safety specifications.
 
The new school year started with the students looking pleasantly surprised as they arrived at their renovated school. We had the pleasure to attend this special event held among the presence of Mayor of Mantoudi-Limni-Agia Anna, representatives of the local authorities together with the School's Administration and educational community, as well as the Parents’ and Guardians’ Board and partners. We expressed our wishes for a prosperous and productive school year to students and teachers. 
 
This reconstruction project highlights the mutual dedication of ElvalHalcor and Sidenor, in supporting the sustainable development of the communities they are active in, as well as in support of their residents’ quality of life. By investing in education and infrastructure, the companies aspire to facilitate the residents’ progress. 
 
The Limni Primary School now has a beautiful and friendly learning environment for its students, parents, and teachers, which will motivate them and aid the area renaissance. 
 
Mr. Giorgos Tsapourniotis, Mayor of Mantoudi-Limni-Agia Anna honored us with his presence and expressed his warmest thanks for this important project, which contributes to the reconstruction of Northern Evia.
During his speech, Mr. Sefis Skretas, Schoolmaster, stated: “We've been waiting years for this dream to come true. Our request for the conclusion of all required interventions, repairs, and energy upgrades has been granted, and after several months of work, our school is now considerably different. It's more appealing, cozy, and friendly. The Schoolmaster congratulated ElvalHalcor, Sidenor, and all others who participated in the project for their assistance in achieving this outcome. 
 
Mr. Vasilis Liaskos, President of the Parents’ and Guardians’ Board, stressed the following while addressing the representatives of ElvalHalcor and Sidenor: “We now feel as though we are leaving our kids in a secure environment. We can all now everyday enjoy a brand-new school thanks to the refurbishment that was undertaken.”.
 
Representing ElvalHalcor, Mr. Dimitris Dimou, Operations Senior Director of ElvalHalcor’s Copper & Alloys Extrusion Division, expressed the Company’s satisfaction with the successful completion of the project, stating: “We are very proud of having contributed to this project for the substantial transformation of Limni’s Primary School. Our Company’s commitment towards the local community remains strong and we believe that investing in education is a substantial foundation for achieving sustainable growth in the area”. 
 
On his part, Mr. Tasos Kilakos, Commercial Senior Director of Sidenor, added: “For us at Sidenor, education is a key pillar of our CSR program, and our participation in this project once again demonstrates this. I have no doubt that the entire Limni community, including the students, staff, and administrators, are pleased with this delightful primary school rebuild.
