Metinvest received certificates to supply pipes and plates to Brazil’s Petróleo Brasileiro (Petrobras). The certificates were given to Khartsyzsk Pipe for carbon welded pipes and Azovstal for carbon steel plates. They will allow these products to be used for the construction of Petrobras’ oil and gas pipelines, ships and oil platforms in Brazil and other countries where Petrobras operates. In addition, Metinvest International SA was registered by Petrobras as a sales unit.
“The receipt of Petrobras’ certificate creates the foundation for a long-term partnership with one of the world’s largest energy players and opens the large and promising Latin and North American markets to our products”, said Dmitry Nikolaenko, Metinvest Group’s sales director. “This shows the competitive advantages of Khartsyzsk Pipe’s and Azovstal’s products, and our readiness to meet customer needs both in terms of quality and geography.”
