ARCELOR MITTAL

Tubular Products Europe

ArcelorMittal Europe’s Tubular Products division is a pan-European producer, manufacturing tubes and pipes in four countries and delivering its products through proximity agencies located in eight countries across the continent as well other major international markets. Active in the energy, construction, engineering and automotive sectors, the company produces and markets virtually the full spectrum of tubular products, with an increasing share of value-added products developed in cooperation with its customers. Tubular Products offers the broadest product range, from seamless to spiral and longitudinal welded tubes, available in both small and large outside diameters, as well as a variety of processes and/or finishing, including ERW, HFI, precision, cold-drawn, HSAW and LSAW.

A wide range of seamless pipes

ArcelorMittal Europe’s division Tubular Products offers seamless pipes with outside diameters ranging from 21.3mm – 508mm and wall thicknesses of up to 50mm. Access to high-quality steels allows the division to create pipe and tube solutions for the most challenging applications. Its mills in Romania and the Czech Republic have supplied many complex orders, including structural tubes for the Azerbaijan Olympic Stadium, piping systems for the UK Navy’s flagship aircraft carriers, and oil and gas projects across the world.

Flexible large-diameter welded facilities

Tubular Products’ highly flexible operations enable it to meet the demands of both large and small projects. The division has the capability to produce individual pipes, making it the ideal supplier for small projects with many components. A wide range of grades is available in strengths of up to X70. Additional services include end preparation for sockets, cut-to-length pipes and an in-house coating facility.

Extensive small welded offer

Small, welded cold-formed and hot-finished tubes are produced at Tubular Products’ mills in Eastern Europe in Karviná (Czech Republic), Krakow (Poland), and Iasi (Romania), and in France in Lexy, Rettel, Fresnoy and Vincey. These products are typically used in construction, and in the transportation of fluids and gases. The range is constantly developing to meet customer requirements for high value-added products. Over the past two years, Tubular Products Europe has made important investments to increase its production of galvanized and colour-coated tubes. These investments have enabled it to increase the variety of grades on offer and improve its logistics systems.

A leading manufacturer of automotive tubing

Due to their contribution to structural strength, reduced number of welds and light weight in relation to the optimised number of joints, steel tubes help to lower costs, increase safety and reduce overall mass – critical factors for car manufacturers. With five production sites in Europe specialising in automotive tubes, Tubular Products Europe is a leading manufacturer and marketer of tubes for the automotive industry with a wide range of welded and cold drawn mechanical steel tubes and tubular shapes, fabricated parts and precision components. The products are used for a wide range of high-value added applications, ranging from suspension systems to crash management components to axle housing assembly systems and instrument panels or seat structures.
