The Ukrainian industrial company INTERPIPE announces the successful completion of an audit by the manufacturer of railway transport, the German corporation Siemens.

This is an important step towards the full qualification of INTERPIPE as a supplier. After its completion, the Company will be able to directly supply wheels for the construction and maintenance of a wide range of Siemens railway vehicles around the world: high-speed passenger trains, electric trains, subway cars, locomotives.
