New Buenos Aires office
for RathGibson
 RathGibson’s new Buenos Aires office is led by
Cristian Rohde
RathGibson, USA, a manufacturer of
welded, welded and drawn, and seamless
stainless steel, nickel, and titanium tubing,
has opened an office in Buenos Aires,
Argentina. Led by Cristian Rohde, the new
office will serve both Central and South
America.
As director of business development for
Central and South America Mr Rohde
will concentrate on providing high quality
products and services to RathGibson’s
customers, and will report directly to Andrew
Yeghnazar, vice president of international
sales and business development.
“An office in Buenos Aires opens many
avenues of communication and opportunities
for RathGibson and our customers in that
region,” said Mr Yeghnazar. “Based upon
his extensive background, Cristian is an
ideal addition to the RathGibson family.”
The new office represents RathGibson’s first
venture into Central and South America. The
SouthAmerican steel industry has undergone
a transformation during the last twenty
years. Businesses are evolving from being
segmented and state-controlled into efficient,
well-organised companies with significant
private and independent ownership. The
Buenos Aires office joins RathGibson’s other
international offices in Australia, Austria,
Bahrain, China, India, Singapore and South
Korea in providing local real-time support to
its global customers.
