UKRAINIAN TUBE INDUSTRY

UKRAINIAN TUBE INDUSTRY

This is one of the most economical industries within the
mining and metallurgical complex. Specialized tube works that employ unique technological
equipment produce high-quality, reliable tubes, pipes, and tubular goods.

Ukraine is among the world leaders in tube-making.
Ukrainian tube works manufacture tubes of more than 1,500 dimension types using 300 steels
and alloys with various technical and performance characteristics.

Ukrainian tube-makers produce seamless and welded steel
tubes made of carbon and alloy steels, which are widely applied in oil and gas industries,
machine building, power sector, agriculture, and industrial construction.

A weighty portion of tubes made in Ukraine is certified in
accordance with international standards.

The leading Ukrainian tube-making companies are as follows:
