central Europe,withanannual production
capability 4.7 million tons. The company
produces a wide assortment of hot

structural and micro-alloyed hot rolled
sheets. The dimensional range varies in
diameters from 406 to 1,420mm, wall
thickness from 5 to 14.2mm and length
from 8 to 18m.
The company has been producing
spiral-welded pipes since 1960. In the
past, the pipes have been used for the
construction of major projects including
the world’s largest oil pipeline ‘Druzhba’
and gas pipeline ‘Bratstvo’. Since then,
over 23,800km (14,800 miles) of pipes
have been produced, which represents
3.352 million tons supplied to almost all
European countries and former Soviet
Union countries.
At present, the company takes
advantage of its strategic location in the
heart of the continent for exporting its
products to many European countries
and beyond. The pipe mill produces
approximately 90 thousand tons per
year. The pipes are used mainly for gas
distribution lines, crude oil and water
distribution lines, for district heating and
cooling systems and for civil engineering
and structural purposes.
All pipes are produced in conformity with
internationally recognised standards
API, EN and DIN. The entire production
process is continuously monitored; the
pipe surface and welds are consistently
controlled by a series of non-destructive
tests, while all results are archived.
A significant role in the development
of new steel grades and technological
processes is played by the company’s
Institute of Research and Development.
An experienced team of specialists and
state-of-the-art techniques ensure high
