Tenaris
to Expand Production Capacity
Luxembourg, September 2, 2008
- Tenaris S.A. (NYSE, Buenos Aires and Mexico: TS and MTA Italy: TEN)
(“Tenaris”) announced today that it plans to increase its production capacity by
installing a state-of-the-art small diameter rolling mill up to 7” with an
annual production capacity of 450,000 tons of seamless pipes at its industrial
facilities located in Veracruz, Mexico. The installation of the mill, together
with associated iron and steel making and finishing facilities, will require an
investment of approximately US$1.6 billion. The mill is expected to begin
operations by 2011.
In
addition to this investment in Mexico, Tenaris plans to continue to invest in
its industrial facilities throughout the world and its capital investments,
excluding the new mill in Mexico, are expected to amount to approximately US$450
million per year over the next three years.
With
these investments, Tenaris plans to increase its industrial capacity to meet the
growing needs of its customers in Mexico and worldwide, as oil and gas drilling
activity expands and becomes more complex.
Tenaris is a leading global supplier
of steel tubes and related services for the world’s energy industry and certain
other industrial applications.
