Welspun Gujarat Stahl
Rohren becomes
Welspun Corp Ltd
Welspun Gujarat Stahl Rohren Ltd, the flagship company of
Welspun Group, has unveiled its new global corporate identity:
Welspun Corp Ltd.
Since its inception, Welspun has been constantly evolving
and responding to the dynamics of the market, from keeping
up with the latest technology to servicing the world’s largest
oil & gas and retail companies. In the last three months,
following internal research, brainstorming and consultations,
the company decided that the words Gujarat and Stahl Rohren
(‘Steel Pipe’ in German) are no longer relevant in today’s
context, and that the name is not contemporary and does not
represent the company’s international reach. The company’s
businesses include backward integration of steel plates and
coils; oil and gas exploration; and a foray into the infrastructure
and energy business.
Welspun Corp Ltd has supplied pipes for prestigious projects,
including pipeline projects in the Gulf of Mexico, USA and
other critical projects across the globe. Welspun’s plate, coil
and pipe plants are located in Dahej and Anjar in Gujarat, India,
and Little Rock in Arkansas, USA. The company has also set
up a spiral pipe mill in Mandya, Karnataka, India.
