Bri-Steel Manufacturing is building its second North American Thermal Pipe Expansion mill (TPE) in Enid, Oklahoma.
Bri-Steel has acquired the former GEFCO facility in Enid, Oklahoma. This facility has enough infrastructure for future expansion and provides the company with multiple options to produce a hyper-efficient factory that can survive even the worst of times. The Bri-Steel team has completed the equipment layout and has started to procure the manufacturing equipment for the plant. The new equipment will be the latest technology to improve on its industry-leading quality products. Renovations and pre-commissioning work is expected to begin in the next few months using local industry and trades people. The plant will produce seamless pipe in sizes 12″–36″ in wall thickness up to 3″ thick. Bri-Steel will make Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel pipes. Bri-Steel will produce to all major industry standards and will continue with their API Q1 quality system. Bri-Steel will apply, upon commissioning, to expand on their American Petroleum Institute (API) Monogram program to include the Enid location. Hiring shall begin in Q3, and production should start late Q4.
