The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Veracruz, Mexico:
- Location: Carr. México, Veracruz, Km 433.7, Vía Xalapa, Veracruz, Veracruz CP 91697, Mexico
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 19.182499, -96.237284 (exact)
Background
With 5000 employees and 1.23 million tons of production capacity, TenarisTamsa industrial center is the one of the world's leading producers of steel pipes for the energy industry. Located in Veracruz on Mexico's Gulf coast, the plant uses scrap and sponge iron to manufacture steel, which is then transformed into billets and seamless steel pipes by the plant's continuous casting facilities and rolling mill. Approximately 30% of the plant's output is used domestically by Mexico's oil and gas companies, while 70% is exported to clients in more than 50 countries worldwide.[1][2]
TenarisTamsa traces its origins back to Italian industrialist Agostino Rocca, who founded the Argentine-Italian conglomerate Techint in 1945. Tenaris played a leading role in the Argentine government's ambitious gas pipeline projects of the late 1940s and early 1950s, and soon began expanding its operations internationally, founding Tamsa (Tubos de Acero de México, S.A.) in 1954. In 2002, several of Techint's international pipeline operations, including Tamsa, were consolidated under the company's new Tenaris S.A. division, which was incorporated in Luxembourg and listed on the stock exchanges in New York, Buenos Aires, Milan and Mexico City.[3][4]
