Branches of the Pipe Metallurgical Company (TMK) — Pervouralsky Novotrubny (PNTZ) and Seversky Pipe (STZ) plants — took part in the International Youth Festival (IFM). International delegations visited the enterprises as part of the children's program. The groups included children from different regions of Russia, as well as Armenia, Venezuela, Germany, Egypt, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, and other countries.
At the PNTZ, the guests visited the Museum and Exhibition Center (IEC), which features five themed halls featuring the history of the city and the company. The program of the visit also included an excursion to an existing production facility, a workshop for the production of oil grade pipes. The delegations were shown the main stages of finishing oil and gas pipes: fitting the ends, non-destructive testing, fitting production, threading, and heat treatment.
"In Polevskoye, the participants of the IFM visited the museum complex "Severskaya Domna", located on the territory of the STZ. The students were given a tour of the historic blast furnace building with authentic equipment from the middle of the 19th century and a modern open-air exhibition dedicated to the development of metallurgical technologies. Special attention was paid to the history of the enterprise and the stages of the establishment of metallurgical production in the Urals.
"Industrial tourism is an important part of TMK's sustainable development strategy. It is valuable for us to host the participants of the International Youth Festival and show them how the traditions of the Ural masters combine with the advanced technologies of our time. The visit of such delegations helps to demonstrate the openness, scale, and innovation of Russian industry to a new generation of leaders from around the world," said Anna Trepalova, Head of TMK's Industrial tourism division.
The "Follow the Dream" International Youth Festival was held in Yekaterinburg under the motto. 10,000 people from 191 countries, including 1,000 teenagers aged 14 to 17, participated in the IFM-2026.
