Congratulations to Vallourec units, VAM Changzhou and Serimax, for the remarkable progress they have made in health and safety, which has enabled them to win the Safety Awards 2024. These distinctions highlight the crucial importance of safety as a lever for operational excellence on a global scale, while fully in line with the new signature, “Safety Together We’re Safer”, launched by the Group earlier this year.
VAM Changzhou, a China-based plant specializing in premium seamless tubes for the energy sector, has been singled out for its exemplary safety management system and its commitment to ensuring a safe workplace. With a TRIR of zero by 2023 and no accidents in the last two years, VAM Changzhou has made excellent progress.

Serimax, a Vallourec subsidiary offering fully integrated welding solutions for operations on land and at sea, was also rewarded for its unwavering commitment to safety in complex environments and often challenging conditions. In 2023, Serimax achieved a TRIR of 0.72 and has recorded no serious accidents or incidents so far in 2024, an exemplary performance that illustrates their vigilance and determination.
