History

[edit]

TMK-ARTROM was founded in 1982, as a state owned company, under the name IT Slatina and its production started in 1988. It was transformed into a public limited company in 1991, and renamed ARTROM SA. On November 20th 1995 the company listed its shares on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Then ARTROM SA went through the privatization process and became a public private joint-stock company on April 30th, 1999 with the Austrian company STARO Gmbh as its majority shareholder. In 2001, the German company Sinara Handel GmbH (renamed today TMK-EUROPE) bought a controlling stake in ARTROM SA. On March 1st 2006, ARTROM SA joined the world’s second largest pipe producer when it became part of the TMK GROUP of companies and changed its name one last time to TMK-ARTROM. In February 2007, a new pipe manufacturing line was put into operation – a Cross Piercing Elongator. As a result, the production capacity of TMK-ARTROM now reaches 200,000 tonnes per year. Following a 36 million euro investment, TMK Artrom launched in February 2018 a seamless pipe heat treatment line, which allows the company to enhance its segment of premium products for mechanical engineering (2).

In the last years, TMK Artrom and TMK Resita were re-built as an integrated production flow.
