Interpipe relies on sophisticated products to find new niches in the global market

The company is considering the development of pipes for hydrogen infrastructure and the needs of European NPPs

Amid challenges related to trade wars in the global market, Ukrainian industrial company Interpipe continues to seek new niches and options and is working on developing more complex products. This was announced by Vitaliy Sueta, Director of Products and Resources, during the Kyiv International Economic Forum (KIEF-2025).

For example, Interpipe already supplies pipes for various geothermal drilling projects. The company also sees new opportunities in Europe’s green agenda, which is shaping new product markets.

“Therefore, the next step is to master, manufacture, and bring to market pipes for, for example, hydrogen infrastructure, construction and maintenance of carbon storage facilities, and the needs of European nuclear power plants,” said Vitaliy Sueta.

The Director of Products and Resources noted that thanks to the company’s transformation process, launched more than 10 years ago, Interpipe has radically changed the vector of exports of steel pipes and railway products. Currently, its products are represented on all continents. The key markets are Europe, the US, and the Middle East, where the company has a network of sales offices.

The EU, Vitaliy Sueta noted, has practically become the company’s home market, thanks to such competitive advantages as the “green” Interpipe Steel plant, which already complies with the Green Deal philosophy.

Over the past few years, Interpipe’s R&D team has mastered more than 250 new niche and unique products for European pipe consumers. This allows the company to participate in projects such as the construction of offshore wind farms in Normandy, the complex reconstruction of a high-altitude resort in the Swiss Alps, and the construction of infrastructure facilities in Qatar.

Its own development—a line of wheels under the ULTIMATE brand for freight cars—is now the most widespread in the European Union, and the company’s railway products are supplied to all European countries without exception. Interpipe is currently tasked with expanding its product portfolio in the passenger segment, where each train has its own wheel design with a separate production process.

As GMK Center reported earlier, Interpipe is actively expanding its presence in export markets. The company has entered the segment of supplies for drilling equipment in Europe, supplied pipes for the construction of an offshore wind farm in France and specialized micropiles for the reconstruction of a bridge in Slovakia. The company also develops wheels for railways in the Middle East and Asia, and supplies products for energy and construction projects in Switzerland and Romania. Diversification of its portfolio allows the company to strengthen its position in high-tech industries and reduce dependence on traditional markets.
