Vitaly Sueta, director of products and resources at Ukrainian steel pipe and railway products manufacturer Interpipe, said the company continues to implement its long-term investment strategy despite wartime difficulties. Mr. Sueta emphasized that maintaining a position in the international market requires constant modernization and innovation.
Continued investment in equipment and product development
Following the completion of a new heat treatment complex in Nikopol costing more than $40 million, the company during this year continued to invest in modern equipment for finishing and processing pipe products.
Mr. Sueta Sueta noted, that this modernization is necessary for long-term competitiveness, saying: “In 2026, we will again invest in new equipment. Investment is a key component of remaining competitive in our major export markets. In addition, investment in new markets and products is important in terms of development, certification and promotion. These are investments that are invisible in the short term, but must be made now because the train will leave without us. 2032 for a total of $120 million, does not stop and continues to improve its production.” Sueta concluded by saying that the investment is not mandatory but necessary, underscoring Interpipe's determination to remain a global competitor in the steel and pipe industry.
