Ukrainian pipe makers supplied drill pipes to Australia for the first time
The Ukrainian industrial company INTERPIPE in June of this year completed the delivery of a trial batch of special thick-walled pipes for the Australian manufacturer of premium drilling equipment Harlsen Industries.
This order with strict requirements for pipe quality was carried out in cooperation with a German partner. For loading and customs clearance of products to Australia, INTERPIPE hired a logistics company from the Netherlands.
“The Australian client had been purchasing pipes from the European Union for years, but decided to pay attention to manufacturers from other regions. INTERPIPE is already known in the world, we were invited to cooperate, the customer is impressed by our position on sustainable development and an integrated supply chain,” noted Ivan Mazanka, director of sales of INTERPIPE pipes to European markets.
According to the press service company - the order turned out to be difficult. The production process and logistics were not typical, so partners in Europe were involved. For the client, the quality of the final product is very important, since operational safety depends on it. At the same time, the successful completion of this order may open the door for Interpipe to other consumers in Australia.
