3 EUROPIPE: Thinking ahead. Delivering on our commitments and more In 1804, the Dillinger Hütte steel mill rolls its first steel plate. In 1845, a company later to become part of Mannesmannröhren-Werke produces Europe s first welded steel pipe. In 1991, these two steel industry pioneers pool their expertise and join forces to create EUROPIPE, soon to emerge as a global leader in the pipeline industry. Supplying products and services for pipeline construction, EUROPIPE today leads an industry that takes thinking big literally. A 1.5 million kilometre network of pipelines spans the globe, conveying gases and liquids with maximum safety and the utmost respect for the environment. For this market, we produce worldwide over a million tonnes (around 3,000 kilometres) of large-diameter steel pipe every year for use throughout the world: over land and under water, in the Arctic ice and in the desert heat. Our success is based on a simple principle: thinking ahead. Each and every one of our employees is committed to the philosophy of anticipating customer needs to make our products, processes and services even better. The ability to think ahead this is the pledge of top performance with which we approach every challenge. Our products are the raw materials for solutions tailored to your needs. EUROPIPE offers a broad range of products for this market. Longitudinally welded line pipe is available in diameters from 20 to 60 inches (508 to 1,524 mm) and wall thicknesses from to inches (7 to 40 mm) and in lengths of up to 60 feet (18.3 metres). For effective corrosion protection, we have developed various coating systems which ensure that our welded pipes can withstand the toughest demands onshore or offshore. 3 Oil, natural gas and coal, the world s most important sources of energy, are rarely found where they are needed. 75% of the world s natural gas is transported through pipelines.

4 The dimensions of EUROPIPE. * Global performance calls for global presence. EUROPIPE has a total of three production sites: one in France (Dunkerque on the North Sea), one in Germany (Mülheim an der Ruhr) and one in the USA (Berg Steel Pipe Corp., Panama City, Florida). From these three bases, we supply large-diameter line pipe for oil, gas and water to customers all over the world. 4 L O N G I T U D I N A L Longitudinally welded large-diameter line pipe OD inch mm Grade X 52 min max min max X 56 min max min max X 60 min max WT min max X 65 min max min max X 70 min max min max X 80 min max min max * Other dimensions and products for oil and gas line pipes are available on request.
