Tenaris announces plans for service centre in the Peace region

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A major steel pipe manufacturer and supplier with ties to the oil and gas industry has unveiled plans for a new service station in the Montney area near Fort St. John.

According to a press release, Tenaris has entered an agreement for the purchase of nine acres of land for the construction of the centre, which it says will produce seven thousand tons of pipe by the end of 2025.

The release reads the purchase is subject to “customary conditions.”

Tenaris Canada president Martin Castro said the new centre “underscores” the company’s “commitment to being closer to customers in the region.”

“It will strengthen our ability to respond quickly, deliver tailored solutions and continue building lasting partnerships through our Rig Direct services in one of Canada’s most active energy regions,” Castro said.

The facility will be the third from the company in Canada, joining facilities in Grande Prairie and Sherwood Park, Alberta.

Based in Luxembourg, Tenaris was founded in 2001. The release announced the company had reported revenues totalling $12.5 billion US in the 2024 fiscal year.

It operates an integrated network of steel pipe manufacturing, research, finishing and service facilities with industrial operations in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

The transaction is expected to be finalized by July.
