The aggregate purchase price has been set at €86 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis, including a normalized level of working capital. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2026.

Artrom Steel Tubes S.A. manufactures steel and seamless steel pipes in Romania. The company operates two major production sites:

These assets are expected to support Tenaris’s European industrial pipe operations and strengthen its regional manufacturing network.
