Tubular Products Overview
Combining trade and project management skills, Sumitomo Corporation of America’s (SCOA) Tubular Products Group supplies a wide variety of high grade full-length Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG), OCTG accessories, line pipe, and specialty tubes to companies in the oil, gas, petrochemical, automobile, refining, and boiler manufacturing industries. Our expertise in both business and steel tubular technology makes us an attractive partner for companies seeking the most capable and reliable source of supply.
In the OCTG area, SCOA is responding to the need for strong relationships between customers and vendors by actively pursuing both domestic and international alliances. The alliance may take the form of a vendor stocking program coupled with excellent support services. Or, the alliance may just involve the supply of OCTG based on customer forecasts. With companies pushing more and more responsibility and function to their vendors, SCOA’s OCTG Unit and its subsidiaries support these needs through its ability to develop solid, long-term alliances.
For OCTG Accessories, SCOA has developed a model for providing comprehensive service to customers. In this model, we coordinate all aspects of the supply chain from procurement to logistics to manufacturing in supplying the accessories needed for well completion.
In the line pipe area, companies involved in the transmission of oil and gas are constantly challenged to find high quality tubular products to meet the stringent requirements of their operations. SCOA supplies some of the highest grade carbon, chromium, nickel and stainless steel tubular products available both directly and through various distribution channels.
SCOA also supplies specialty tubes used in boilers fabrication. Boiler manufacturers rely on SCOA to supply and coordinate the delivery of premium grade specialty tubes for boiler construction. These boilers are used primarily in power generation plants, both in the US and overseas. Specialty tube is also used in process piping and mechanical applications. Process piping for fin tubes in refineries and petrochemical plants and in the nuclear industry are prominent areas for these types of tubular products.
SCOA supplies OCTG and line pipe into the Canadian market through Sumitomo Canada Limited. We have an OCTG distributor, Summit Tubulars Corporation in Calgary. We also supply line pipe and specialty tube mainly coordinated through our Vancouver office.
Our goal is complete customer satisfaction from procurement to delivery and where applicable to installation. With our staff having both business and engineering knowledge, the Tubular Products Group works very closely with its customers to help them find materials that meet their needs. We analyze and consult on procurement specifications in order to create a product that will meet a company's unique needs. We also handle all details of shipping and on-site delivery, as well as coordination with installation teams.
