Process and characteristics

A new plant to produce seamless stainless-steel tubes was installed at ZM in 2021. The plant consists of cold pilger machines with an integrated internal/external tube degreasing system.We are developing an entire division dedicated to the seamless tubes. The new division, together with the increased production capacity of welded and redrawn tubes, allows ZM to expand its range of stainless tubes in next few years. Thanks to the comprehensiveness of the products offered, our company can strengthen its position as a market leader.
