Global Seamless Tubes & Pipes has announced plans to establish its first U.S. production facility in DeSoto Parish. Louisiana. The company, which manufactures carbon, alloy and stainless steel cold drawn and hot finish seamless tubes and pipes, will invest $35 million into the project, creating 135 new jobs in the process. The new facility will feature machinery that integrates both hot finishing and cold drawn manufacturing processes in the same unit. This advancement will allow the company to build a domestic supply chain for North American customers. Operation at the new plant is expected to begin by the end of the year.
