Luxembourg-based steel pipe manufacturer Tenaris has announced the resumption of heat treatment and finishing at its manufacturing facility in Koppel, Pennsylvania.
The reactivation of the lines follows investments of $2.1 million aimed at restoring operational capabilities and strengthening Tenaris' industrial presence in the United States.
Integrated production in the USA
According to Guillermo Moreno, president of Tenaris US, the relaunched heat treatment and finishing lines at Koppel will enable the company to supply high-quality steel products to customers in the U.
S. energy and industrial markets.
Tenaris operates an integrated steel pipe manufacturing system in Pennsylvania and Ohio. At the Koppel site, steel blanks are manufactured using an electric arc furnace before being shipped to Ambridge, Pennsylvania, where they are rolled into seamless pipe products for the petroleum industry.
The pipes are then returned to Koppel for quenching, tempering, finishing and non-destructive testing and inspection. The final threading and inspection are carried out at the Brookfield, Ohio plant, after which the products are shipped to customers in the U.
S. oil and gas industry.
