The acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approvals, will further Tenaris’s manufacturing presence in the US market, the company said in a press release. The transaction is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Prior to this acquisition, Tenaris operated eight manufacturing facilities and four pipe service centers in the US with 2 million tons of production capacity.
In Q1 this year, Tenaris posted net income of $503 million on sales of $2.367 billion. Globally, the company has steel pipe manufacturing capacities of 4.7 million tons of seamless pipe and 3.2 million tons of welded pipe (not including the Benteler acquisition).
