The Salzgitter Group participations Berg Steel Pipe Corp. and Berg Spiral Pipe Corp., both located in the United States, have received an order from Energy Transfer Partners, Dallas, for the delivery of approx. 430,000t of large-diameter pipes for the ET Rover Pipeline Project.
The two companies in Panama City and Mobile are subsidiaries of EUROPIPE, Mülheim, Germany, a joint venture of Salzgitter AG and AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke.
The order volume for more than 1,000km spiral and longitudinally welded pipes represents the largest single order in Berg’s corporate history. In addition, EUROPIPE will be supplying small volume of thick-walled large- diameter pipes as part of this order.
