 Not new and not made for Greece. Surplus US Army vehicles donated to Greece under the Excess Defense Articles program.

Quote Although it is actually more in need of (more modern) IFVs and APCs and MRAPs, Greece's decision to opt for the M1117 (which isn't particularly well suited to the type of conventional warfare that could be expected during a conflict with Türkiye) can likely solely be explained by the fact that they could be acquired free of charge through the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) programme, with Greece only having to pay for their transportation and inspection costs of $102 million.

Serial production of the M1117 began in 1999.
