About the Company:
Over more than 120 years, Vallourec has made its mark in industry on an international scale. Brazil, China, France, Germany, Nigeria, Singapore, the United States—more than 50 production sites, business offices, and R&D centers operate in 20 countries on five continents. Its 17,000 employees’ local presence conveys a major aspect of the group’s strategy: to be as close to its customers as possible. This implies three high-priority challenges: understanding the customers’ needs and meeting them as efficiently as possible, participating even more in the development of national economies, and increasing Vallourec’s competitiveness.
New Energies:
To accompany Vallourec’s transformation and be better positioned on these markets, Vallourec decided to reorganize its solutions’ portfolio for the energy transition in one complete offer called Vallourec® New Energies. The energy transition is growing worldwide with a strong focus in lowering CO2 emissions, producing clean energy and maintaining global warming to under 2°C. Vallourec is leveraging its expertise in materials and connections for the oil and gas industry to test and qualify its products for use in new applications, including Geothermal, Hydrogen, Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage (CCUS) and solar.
