Thanks to autonomous robotics, IoT devices, cloud technology and AI, Tenaris is transforming its production system into a connected factory that continuously adjusts and self-optimizes.
Our R&D Centers are located in Campana, Argentina; Dalmine, Italy and Veracruz, Mexico.
Located at our Tamsa mill in Veracruz, Mexico, this nearly 109,000 sq-ft training area allows customers to witness how Tenaris products perform in different applications, and serves as a space to develop and validate our new product technologies. We also use our in-house rig to train our field service specialists, who work to ensure customers' rig operations are safe and efficient.
Lucas Pigliacampo, our Oil & Gas Technologies Vice President, shares news about Tenaris technology, teamwork and milestone events on his LinkedIn channel. Find out more about how we're working as a team to transform the pipe industry.
In standard operations thread compounds are applied manually in the field, but Dopeless® technology is a dry, multifunctional coating applied at the mill that enhances safety and efficiency at the rig while minimizing the environmental footprint.
Tenaris’s steel shop in Dalmine, Italy, is investing nearly 29 million dollars to expand the facility’s capabilities to produce specialty steels with a high chromium content, such as Super Chromium 13. These are martensitic stainless steels with a carbon content lower than 0.03%, which are more resistant to corrosion.
As Tenaris builds on its culture of health and wellbeing in an industrial world, the company is partnering with Humanitas, an internationally renowned School of Medicine with a highly specialized teaching and research hospital that is also part of the Techint Group.
Tenaris is getting back to pre-pandemic habits with the return of its in-person global training programs, bringing colleagues from around the world together for face-to-face meetings and knowledge sharing.
