Your reliable partner
for European pipes and tubes
Since its establishment in 2007, ArcelorMittal Tubular
Europe has evolved into one of the top tube producers in
Europe. Through its focus on continuous improvement and
investment, the business is set to grow further as it masters
the challenges ahead.
ArcelorMittal Tubular Europe produces a wide range of tubes
and pipes at nine production sites across four European
countries. It produces seamless and welded pipes and tubes
including electric resistance welded (ERW), high frequency
induction (HFI), precision, cold-drawn, and both spiral and
longitudinal submerged arc welded (HSAW and LSAW).
In 2015, ArcelorMittal Tubular Europe delivered pipes and
tubes to sectors including energy, construction, engineering
and automotive. An increasing share of its output is value-
added products, which it has developed in cooperation with
its customers.
As a company it distinguishes itself from its competition
because it always puts the customer first. “We appreciate
our long-standing customer relationships,” explained
Jeyachandran Rajasekaran, CEO of ArcelorMittal Tubular
Europe. “These relationships endure because of our focus
on continuous improvement and our extensive range of
products which serve every market segment. Our steady
growth, even in extremely difficult market conditions, gives
us confidence that we can master very challenging orders
and customer demands in the future.”
Wide range of seamless pipes
ArcelorMittal Tubular Europe offers seamless pipes with an
outside diameter ranging between 21.3 and 508mm and
wall thicknesses up to 50mm. Access to high-quality steels
allows it to create pipe and tube solutions for the most
challenging applications. Its mills in Romania and the Czech
Republic have supplied many complex orders including
structural tubes for the Azerbaijan Olympic Stadium, piping
systems for the UK Navy’s flagship aircraft carriers and oil
and gas projects across the world.
Flexible large diameter welded facilities
Its highly flexible operations enable it to meet the demands
of both large and small projects. It has the capability to
produce individual pipes, making it the ideal supplier for
small projects with many components.
Recent investments have enabled it to extend the outside
diameter of its HSAW products up to 1,016mm. A wide
range of grades are available in strengths up to X70. It offers
additional services including end preparation for sockets,
cut-to-length pipes and an in-house coating facility.
Extensive small welded offer
Small, welded cold-formed and hot-finished tubes are
produced at its mills in Karviná (Czech Republic), Krakow
(Poland) and Iasi (Romania). These products are typically
used in construction, and in the transportation of fluids and
gases. Its offer is constantly developing to meet customer
requirements for high value-added products.
Over the past two years, ArcelorMittal Tubular Europe has
made important investments to increase its production
of galvanised and colour-coated tubes, and hot-finished
hollow-sections. These investments have enabled it to
increase the variety of grades on offer and improve its
logistics systems.
Leading automotive partner
ArcelorMittal Tubular Europe has rapidly increased its
presence in the European automotive sector. Four of its
production sites (Hautmont, Chevillon, and Vitry in France
and Karviná in the Czech Republic) supply tailor-made
solutions to its automotive customers. These include welded
and cold-drawn welded tubes as well as components based
on global quality standards such as ISO TS 9001 and
ISO TS 16949.
Its pipes and tubes are utilised in a range of automotive
applications including the chassis, body-in-white, crash
components, seating, IP beams and fluid handling. With its
highly skilled team of engineers, ArcelorMittal Tubular Europe
is able to offer innovative designs and act as a development
partner. This provides genuine added-value to customers
and leads to significant cost and weight savings in their
vehicles.
