TMK IPSCO expands pipe threading line at Ohio facility


Saturday, Mar05, 2011

Downers Grove, Illinois-based steel energy pipe manufacturer TMK IPSCO announced Friday that its Premium pipe threading facility in Brookfield, Ohio has begun a two-week commissioning phase for its second thread line, which will allow the facility to thread more and larger pipe products.

The second thread line will allow the Brookfield plant to thread pipes up to 13 5/8" in diameter, up from the previous size range of 4"-7 5/8" under the first thread line.

"What this means for the industry is that we are now able to provide an even quicker response to the growing needs of the Marcellus drilling region," said Piotr Galitzine, chairman of TMK IPSCO. "Marcellus will play a major role going forward as natural gas finds new uses in electricity generation and municipal transportation."
