About VALLOUREC

Vallourec is a French industrial group specializing in premium seamless steel tubular solutions, primarily for demanding energy and industrial applications. The company was created in the early twentieth century through the consolidation of French steel industry players, and over time it built a globally recognized expertise in seamless tubes, premium connections, and engineered solutions for harsh operating environments. Today, Vallourec positions itself as a global leader in tubular solutions for the energy sector and the low-carbon transition, with a broad international footprint. The group employs around 13,000 people across 20 countries and operates 35 production sites, underscoring its sizeable industrial platform worldwide. Vallourec’s activities are organized around three main markets: oil and gas, new energies, and industry. In oil and gas, the company supplies casing, tubing, accessories, and VAM® premium connections used in onshore and offshore wells, including highly demanding projects. In the industrial segment, Vallourec offers seamless steel tubes and hollow sections for automotive, mechanical engineering, construction, agriculture, and other technical uses. The group has also strengthened its position in energy-transition markets such as geothermal power, hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage (CCUS), with dedicated offerings including Delphy for hydrogen storage. Vallourec has reshaped its industrial footprint around three key regions — North America, South America, and the Eastern Hemisphere — to stay closer to its core markets. Its strategy focuses on value rather than volume, with an emphasis on premium segments and a deliberate exit from commodity markets. Key strengths include a substantial R&D base, more than 4,000 registered patents, and multiple research and testing centers. Listed in Paris, Vallourec remains a benchmark player in high-performance tubular products, combining a long industrial heritage, technical depth, and exposure to structural growth themes linked to the energy transition.
