Founded in 1951, the Roman facility produces seamless steel pipes with diameters ranging from 168.3 mm to 406.4 mm for energy, construction, and industrial applications. In addition to manufacturing line pipes for onshore and offshore projects, the plant has historically produced casing and tubing (OCTG) for the oil and natural gas sector. Serving customers across Europe and beyond, the facility is expected to strengthen Interpipe’s production capacity while enhancing efficiency and reliability across its supply chain.
Interpipe aims to increase both production capacity and technological integration by incorporating the Roman facility into its operations. The company plans to optimize production processes and improve product quality by combining the plant’s existing operations with its own integrated steelmaking and technological expertise. In addition, existing Roman customers will benefit from enhanced support and advantages through Interpipe’s global network and technical capabilities.
Luca Zanotti, CEO of Interpipe, stated: “The Roman facility represents a historic step for our company as our first production platform in the European Union. This asset complements our vertically integrated and value-added operations in Ukraine, strengthening both our geographic diversification and technological integration. As Ukraine moves toward EU membership, Interpipe is contributing to this integration in practice. By incorporating the Roman facility into our global network, we aim to offer our customers high-quality products, reliable deliveries, and expanded production capacity.”
Interpipe also plans to integrate the employees of the Roman facility into its organization and ensure a smooth transition process. The company aims to work together with the workforce to support future growth, innovation, and customer success. All required legal and competition approvals have been obtained from public authorities in Ukraine and Romania.
