4-th International Metals Week
TMK was a participant in the Fourth International Metals Week, held on 21-22 March 2006 in Moscow. The forum was organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry and Energy of the RF, the Federal Assembly of the RF, the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Chamber of Trade and Commerce of the RF. Discussed within the framework of the Fourth International Metals Week were development strategies for the metallurgical industry, as well as the issues of improving economic and legislative regulation in the metallurgical and mountain ore industry, the support of state innovation policy, and increasing the competitiveness of Russian metallurgical and machine-building products on the world markets. At the forum TMK representatives delivered a report on the trends and prospects for development of the pipe industry over the forthcoming years, which include the further consolidation of the pipe business, the introduction of new technological solutions, development of relations with investors, improvement of the management system, as well as ecological and social responsibility. With around 8% of the world’s total output volumes of steel pipes, the Russian pipe industry has considerable potential for development. In 2005 the volume of TMK’s investments in technical upgrading amounted to US$114m. The Company is set to invest more than US$1bn in the modernization of production by the year 2010. TMK’s commercial scope in the key world regions of pipe consumption is increasing. In 2005 TMK acquired the company SINARA Trading AG (since renamed TMK Global AG), which is the official distributor of the Company in countries overseas, and opened a subsidiary trading company in the USA named TMK SINARA North America, Inc. In 2006 TMK acquired the company Sinara Handel GmbH, which owns a majority shareholding in two Rumanian enterprises – the pipe plant SC ARTROM SA (in Slatina) and the metallurgical combine SC C.S.R. SA (in Resitsa).
