            TMK-ARTROM SA Slatina, an
elite unit of the European Division of TMK, is a reference name on
the industrial pipe market. This includes products for the machine- building industry, cylinders and hydraulic equipment, power pipes, products for the automotive industry, sockets and accessories for the oil industry. The central objective of TMK-ARTROM in terms of development strategy has been quality improvement and an increased share for the added- value (premium) products in the production mix.
TMK-ARTROM is currently one of the largest suppliers of seamless steel pipes on the European market. Approximately 15% of the company’s products are sold in Romania, while 85% are delivered to other European countries, but also to North and South America, the Middle East, etc.
The path to high-technology finished products
Through extensive investment works carried out both at TMK-RESIŢA and at TMK-ARTROM, a unique metallurgical complex, which operates according to the principle “from raw materials to finite high-tech products”, has been created. The investments
in production and technology, deemed to be the solution for the development of the company, focused on assuring quality, increasing the output and expanding the product range.
As a result of such changes, the company’s annual capacity is now 200,000 tons of hot-rolled pipes. Thus, TMK-ARTROM has become a manufacturer of mechanical pipes with a wide range of use, having a flexible and effective delivery system that
would adjust to the customer’s individual needs.
TMK-ARTROM provides unique innovative products in the industrial segment. In 2015, the company started the production of new types of steel and alloys with a higher added value,
as well as of new premium products, which allowed the carrying out of additional operations requested by customers: high precision cutting of pipes at fixed lengths with
a limited tolerance of 1-2 mm, inside skivel and roller burnished tubes, grinding of the pipe outer surface, drilling of the pipe wall and other mechanical machining.
The pipes processed by inner boring and rolling are designed for the manufacture of hydraulic and telescopic cylinders for the most demanding uses: lifting equipment, complex industrial equipment, mining equipment, automobiles, aviation, etc.
Investment and sustainable development
The projection of a coherent and integrated investment plan made possible the sustainable development of the company.
The completion of the first stage of the investment programme led not only to the creation
of the metallurgical complex
 ADRIAN POPESCU, General Manager of the TMK European Division
“TMK-ARTROM continues to develop
its production facilities. The logic behind our relationships with the customers is to be closer to the users, therefore they are more than simple buyers, they become our partners and together we can go further.
Equally important is the environmental aspect:
we are expanding the premium products range and at the same time we are reducing the negative environmental impact significantly. This is what makes our company a unique combination of innovative technologies and environmental ones, a mix that consolidates our position on the international market”.
