It is noted that all customary conditions for closing the deal, including obtaining the necessary antitrust approvals and foreign direct investment permits from Ukrainian and Romanian authorities, have been fulfilled.

At the same time, the acquisition of the Roman plant strengthens Interpipe’s local production base within the European Union.

“The AMTP Roman plant is a well-known producer of seamless steel pipes for customers across Europe and beyond,” the statement said. “By integrating this asset into its operations, Interpipe aims to expand its production capabilities, improve supply chain efficiency and deliver greater value to customers.”
