1804. The Dillinger Hütte steel mill rolls its first steel plate. In

1845, a company which later becomes part of Mannesmannröhren-

Werke produces continental Europe’s first welded steel pipe.

In 1991, these two steel industry pioneers – AG der Dillinger

Hüttenwerke and Mannesmannröhren-Werke AG – decide to

pool their experience and know-how and create EUROPIPE.

Our rich heritage in terms of steel technology and manufactur-

ing expertise plus the dedication and hard work of our people

enabled us to achieve some very demanding objectives.

Today we are the world-market leader in large-diameter pipe

production for the oil and gas sector and have the most ex-

tensive manufacturing footprint in our industry. With fivemills in Europe, the USA and Brazil, annually producing over

3,000 kilometres of large-diameter pipe for pipeline projects

throughout the world: onshore and offshore, in the arctic ice,

the depths of the world’s oceans and in the desert heat.

EUROPIPE’s core business is the manufacturing of large-

diameter longitudinally and helically welded pipes, while the

sales department “Special Products” serves smaller volume

projects and non-linepipe applications.

EUROPIPE is fully integrated into the steel manufacturing and

R&D resources of its shareholders, AG der Dillinger Hütten-

werke and Salzgitter Mannesmann GmbH.

This means that if you are looking for pipes for non-linepipe

projects or for a partner to enter new markets and applica-

tions involving steel pipes, EUROPIPE with its parent compa-nies’ resources is at your service.

EUROPIPE: THINKING AHEAD

EUROPIPE Special Products, working together with its

clients, has already delivered over 100,000 tons of pipes into

non-linepipe applications. These include civil engineering

applications, e.g. the roof support frame of the stadium “AWD

Arena” in Hanover/Germany and the exposition hall “Neue

Messe” in Stuttgart /Germany. Offshore constructions, e.g.

tension leg pipes for the world record water depth offshore

platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Marine engineering, e.g. pil-

ings for the gate construction of the Venice flooding protec-

tion project “MOSE”, and many other offshore and onshore

projects.

EUROPIPE is a partner in the development and introduction

of new products such as the Knutsen OAS “PNG®” technol-

ogy for marine gas transportation and the WeserWind “Vario

Base®” Jacket Foundation for multi megawatt (MW) offshore

wind energy turbines.

These are only a few examples of the involvement of EUROPIPE

Special Products in major non-linepipe projects.

If you are looking for a partner for your next project involving

steel pipes, EUROPIPE should be your first choice.

Through its shareholders, EUROPIPE has access to steel produc-

tion and plate rolling capacities of over 3 million tons per year;much more than needed to feed EUROPIPE’s production lines

and always assuring our supply of high quality input material.

The inter-company lines of communication for planning, data

transfer and R&D are interlocked as if we are an integrated

company. Through this, EUROPIPE has full quality control over

the entire value chain, from steel production and plate rolling

to pipe making including coating and shipment if ordered.

This situation enables EUROPIPE to optimise all produc-

tion parameters from chemical composition to plate rolling

schemes, to pipe forming and welding; all to create the bestproduct for your needs.

Having Salzgitter Mannesmann GmbH as a shareholder, gives

EUROPIPE full access to Salzgitter Mannesmann Forschung’s(SZMF) exhaustive R&D resources. SZMF offers the complete

knowledge of steel manufacturing starting with the blast fur-

nace and plate rolling to pipe manufacturing and coating. This

includes the pipe material but also processing and pipe design.

This means that EUROPIPE benefits from one of the most ad-

vanced metallurgical laboratories for steel research, develop-

ment and testing.

With all its resources and possibilities, EUROPIPE can therefore

easily customise a product according to client’s project speci-

fications.

TOGETHER WITH OUR PARTNERS,

WE OFFER MORE THAN JUST PIPES

SECURE SUPPLY OF HIGH QUALITYPRE-MATERIAL

Our coating partners are subsidiaries of EUROPIPE, and consist

of MÜLHEIM PIPECOATINGS GmbH (MPC) in Mülheim an derRuhr / Germany and eb Pipe Coating, Inc. in Panama City / FL

USA. All our mills have either integrated coating facilities or

trusted coating partners close by. With the coating facilities

situated in direct vicinity to the pipe mills, EUROPIPE is in prime

position to ensure optimum quality, fast delivery and favoura-

ble terms. Coating is a specialist task calling for specialist skills,

and our coating experts can lean on decades of experience.

The strengths of EUROPIPE Special Products lie in the ability to adapt our core compe-

tencies to specialist projects. In this we serve mainly, but not exclusively, two markets.

Our Special Products are delivered into:

TUBULAR GOODS

Many non-linepipe applications,

especially in the fields of civil- and

marine engineering as well as offshore

construction, require the use of steel

pipes, which are EUROPIPE‘s standard

products.

We deliver high quality pipes for these

markets and can do so even when deal-

ing with small quantities.

NEW APPLICATIONS

By integrating EUROPIPE’s strengths in

steel expertise, production capabilities

and exhaustive R&D resources into our

customer’s projects, we aim to support

you in finding pipe solutions for new

challenges and make your ideas come

true.

WE WANT OUR CUSTOMERS TO BE THE BEST AND THE MOSTSUCCESSFUL IN THEIR FIELD.

PARTNER FOR YOUR SUCCESS

EUROPIPE’s core business is the development, manufacturing

and supply of large-diameter pipes for pipeline projects in the

oil and gas industry.

EUROPIPE Special Products serves non-linepipe applications

using all of EUROPIPE’s strengths. EUROPIPE’s globally renown

high quality level and large capacity will always enable us to

fulfil the requirements for non-linepipe projects including de-

mands on a smaller scale.

Although most of EUROPIPE’s production lines are set up for

fast mass production of pipes, small projects benefit from the

12-metre line in Mülheim an der Ruhr / Germany, which has a

greater flexibility in terms of diameters and wall thicknesses.

Our pipes have been used in many marine engineering, off-

shore construction and civil engineering projects.Major structures often use tubular frames for the advantages

they offer in high rigidity and reduced weight. The stadium

“AWD Arena” in Hanover /Germany, uses EUROPIPE pipes for

the roof’s support frame. In a stadium capable of holding

49,000 people, security is the first concern and no risk can

be taken.

When it comes to marine engineering, offshore construction or

jetties, the corrosive nature of sea water can be a major issue

and cause for cost increases. As a large percentage of pipe-

lines are offshore, EUROPIPE pipes are made to withstand the

harsh corrosive nature of salt water. On top of this EUROPIPE

pipes are all designed to perform at extreme temperatures and

have a high fatigue resistance.

EUROPIPE provides all the benefits of cutting edge pipeline

engineering to your project.

NEW APPLICATIONS

EUROPIPE is a joint venture of two of the leading companies

in the field of high quality steel production in Europe. Need-

less to say, we know teamwork and have always worked very

closely with our clients to ensure that all their needs are ful-

filled and that maximum efficiency in the field is achieved.

EUROPIPE has and is prepared to enter, in partnership with our

customers, into completely new fields of applications where

EUROPIPE pipes can be a crucial success factor.

For example, EUROPIPE pipes are used to develop a new way

of marine gas transportation. In this project, pipes are installed

on ships as perfectly adapted containers for the storage of

gas during transportation. Gas on CNG ships is stored in the

pipes under high pressure at ambient temperature, needing

only minimal infrastructure investments for loading and un-

loading. This compares to LNG tankers where gas is liquefied

at -162°C and requires an expensive infrastructure. In this spe-cific project, fatigue resistance was the main design criteria

for the pipes. To address this issue, EUROPIPE developed the

Hifa®Pipe specifically for CNG application. They are capable of

withstanding the high fatigue criteria resulting from the pres-

sure differences during gas loading and unloading.

EUROPIPE’s research and development for this new product

made the project possible and successful.

EUROPIPE pipes are used in jacket structures as offshore foun-

dations for large multi MW wind turbines for deep water in-

stallation. Creating a new design using EUROPIPE steel exper-

tise, standard pipes and coating, a cost efficient structure was

produced having a direct impact on the financial viability of

this offshore wind park concept.

EUROPIPE’s pipes, steel expertise and production capacity

make its partners successful in their fields of expertise.
