Passion takes us far.

The TenarisTamsa manufacturing center has an integrated cycle. Scrap and sponge iron are used to produce high-quality steel for subsequent processing, resulting in pipes of internationally competitive quality that comply with the most demanding standards. The use of state-of-the-art steel technology, such as vacuum degassing (VD), vibro-molding and electromagnetic steering

in the bar continuous-casting process, guarantees the production of ultra-clean steel. Complete automation of all processes, including heat treatment, and non-destructive inspection guarantee outstanding process control, quality and dimensional precision of all TenarisTamsa products.
