TMK presented its major indices for Q3 and January – September 2013.
In January – September, TMK increased pipes dispatch by 1.7% to 3.2 million tons. The growth in dispatch has happened due to the growth in demand for welded oil and gas pipes, first of all OCTG and large diameter pipes. In Q3, dispatching reduced by 2.1% versus Q2.
Seamless pipes dispatch reduced by 2.8% to 1.807 million tons. In Q3, it reduced by 9.0% to 563,000 tons, in connection with the planned repairs at the rolling capacities of Seversky and Volzhsky pipe plants.
