The company is present in nine cities in Romania and operates fully integrated production units, from the collection and preparation of scrap metal, to steelmaking and the production of high value-added tubular products. Since 2004 it has been part of the Luxemburg-headquartered manufacturer and supplier of steel pipes and related services Tenaris.
