TMK has acquired 55 per cent of Gulf International Pipe Industry L.L.C. (GIPI) in Oman. TMK is one of the world’s leading producers of tubular products for the oil and gas industry.
The plant’s production capacity exceeds 200,000 ton of welded OCTG and line pipe for oil and gas industry annually. Currently GIPI supplies pipes to major oil and gas companies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
TMK reached agreement with the shareholders to manage the plant and its sales and to integrate it in the Company’s global production and sales network to maximize GIPI shareholder value.
“The acquisition of the pipe plant in Oman is in line with TMK’s development strategy as a global pipe supplier for the oil and gas industry, said TMK CEO Alexander Shiryaev. “This will allow TMK to further strengthen its positions in the Middle East adding operations on the ground to its existing sales organization in this region.”
