France-based pipe manufacturer Vallourec has announced that it has opened a new office in Algeria in order to assure local solutions for oil and gas projects in Africa. The new office accompanies Vallourec’s seven other African hubs, including Cairo (Egypt), Nairobi (Kenya), Port-Gentil (Gabon), Johannesburg (South Africa), Lagos and Port Harcourt (Nigeria) and Luanda (Angola).
Vallourec stated that with the new office it aims to deepen relations with its customers, as well as with local operators, distributors and industry players, particularly for the Sub-Saharan oil and gas markets. The new office addition in North Africa will reinforce proximity with Algerian operators and help the company to serve growing demand, Vallourec added.
