Hatboru unveils pipe plant in Romania
Hatboru Romania, a subsidiary of the renowned Turkish pipe manufacturer Hatboru, has unveiled its state-of-the-art production facility in Giurgiu, located in southern Romania. This significant investment project, valued at $11 million, marks a pivotal development in the region’s manufacturing sector.
The new facility is poised to become a hub of employment, set to provide opportunities for over 100 skilled machine operators and specialists, as stated in Hatboru Romania’s press release. This investment not only signifies a financial commitment but also underscores the company’s dedication to contributing to the local economy.
At the heart of this cutting-edge plant is the production of helically welded steel pipes, with the impressive capability to manufacture pipes with diameters of up to 2.54 meters. These versatile pipes play a vital role in a wide range of sectors, including the construction of natural gas pipelines, crude oil conduits, petroleum product transportation, water intake infrastructure, sewerage networks, heating systems, road and bridge construction, bank reinforcement projects, and port expansions.
Mehmet Kiliclar, President of Hatboru Romania’s management board, is enthusiastic about the venture, stating, “In the first year of operation, we aim to surpass the volume of pipes imported into the Romanian market over the last 15 years. Our success hinges on securing new projects within the local and regional markets.” This ambitious goal underscores Hatboru Romania’s commitment to becoming a key player in the Romanian steel pipe industry.
Hatboru’s journey in the Romanian market began in 2008, and since then, the company has made substantial contributions by delivering over 25,000 tons of high-quality pipes produced in Turkey. These pipes have played a crucial role in supporting the expansion and development of Romania’s natural gas transportation infrastructure.
Capacity and experience
With a legacy in the steel industry dating back to 1964, Hatboru brings a wealth of experience and expertise to its operations. The company boasts an impressive annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of spiral welded pipes, further solidifying its position as a leading player in the global steel manufacturing arena.
The establishment of Hatboru Romania’s new production facility in Giurgiu not only marks a significant milestone for the company but also signifies a valuable addition to Romania’s industrial landscape. It represents a symbiotic relationship where investment and innovation meet local economic growth, promising a brighter future for the region and beyond. |
