This summer marked the completion of the Koppel steel mill commissioning, which was a US$15 million investment. Both facilities expanded their teams to about 300, with plans to expand further, Tenaris said.

“Ambridge is back, and our Koppel mill is producing to feed Ambridge and our Bay City, Texas, mill with a local supply of bars for seamless production. The reactivation of our facilities in the Northeast gives us greater flexibility to serve our customers’ drilling projects in the different basins with domestically produced solutions and a short supply chain — this adds value and boosts efficiency,” said Luca Zanotti, Tenaris US president. “Our teams have done excellent work to safely and efficiently bring these facilities back on-line.”
