VAM starts production at new pipe threading plant

YOUNGSTOWN

VAM USA LLC, the leading supplier of premium threaded connections for the oil and gas industry in the U.S., began producing the first pipes for commercial sale at its new premium threading plant in Youngstown in May on Ohio Works Drive.

Construction on the $81.6 million steel-pipe threading plant began last year, according to The Vindicator’s files.

The recently constructed facility manufacturers premium VAM connections for casing and tubing for oil and gas applications.

“Our rigorous commissioning and qualification process ensures the highest quality standards. The new threading plant is integrated with VAM USA’s sister company Vallourec Star’s pipe rolling mills which enhances efficiencies and brings additional synergies that benefit our customers and further differentiates us from competition,“ VAM USA President Eric Shuster said in a statement.
