Logstor, Denmark, and Mannesmann Fuchs
Rohr GmbH, Germany, are to launch a
one-stop-shop production concept for pre-
insulated pipes for the oil and gas industry.
Logstor is one of the world’s largest
manufacturers of pre-insulated pipes,
and Mannesmann Fuchs Rohr GmbH
(a member of the Salzgitter Group) is
Germany’s leading company within
longitudinally HFI-welded steel pipes.
Together, the two companies will form a
strong joint marketing programme tailored
to the oil and gas industry.
The move is designed to optimize
production and logistics and thereby
strengthen Logstor and Mannesmann
Fuchs Rohr’s market position in the oil and
gas industry. This common approach will be
focused predominantly on the oil and gas
sector for onshore and offshore pipelines.
Both companies will remain separately
owned and follow their own existing sales
and marketing strategies.
“Logstor and Mannesmann Fuchs Rohr
have formerly worked closely together
on joint project planning, and we’ve been
able to solve some of the most demanding
challenges. We therefore welcome the
extended prospects of a shared marketing
programme,” said Mr Marc Rasquin, CEO
of Mannesmann Fuchs Rohr.
“Our marketing agreement with
Mannesmann Fuchs Rohr is a new
opportunity for Logstor to support our oil
and gas customers with increased capacity
and a positive delivery of our products. The
new agreement has been formed following
an ongoing strategic review conducted by
Logstor to ensure the supply of world-class
pre-insulated pipes. With this decision, we
are now taking the next step in becoming
the world’s number one manufacturer
of pre-insulated pipes to the oil and gas
industry,” said Mr Jakob Jespersen,
managing director of Logstor Oil & Gas.
Until just a few years ago, Logstor’s
main focus was the growing demand
for district heating. Logstor has more
recently developed core competences
in pre-insulated pipe systems in the area
of transportation of oil and gas. Today,
the company’s expertise lies in offshore
single pipe and pipe-in-pipe solutions,
onshore applications as well as transport
of liquefied natural gas (LNG) anywhere in
the world.
