Focus
A trusted partner that creates solutions
A world leader in its markets, Vallourec provides benchmark tubular solutions for the energy sectors and for other applications, including some of the most demanding: from oil and gas wells in extreme conditions to next-generation power plants to daring architectural projects and extremely high-performing mechanical equipment.
Adapted to the challenges of the 21st century, our comprehensive, innovative solutions are designed for three main markets: oil and gas, low-carbon energy, and industry.
True to our pioneering spirit, we now go even further by prioritizing two areas of focus:
- Expanding our offering by digitizing it via (for example) smart, connected tubes.
- Developing a range of services, specifically digital services, that are bundled into the Vallourec® Services offer. These services represent a new overall experience for our customers and are designed to provide them with support throughout their entire value chain by combining the best of our physical and digital skills.
This approach of constant innovation enables us to maintain our technological leadership and satisfy our customers’ requirements by helping them meet the challenges they are facing head on.
An international and local industrial footprint
To this end, our 15,000 employees based in 20 countries so that we can be as close to our customers as possible. Vallourec’s international presence is all the stronger thanks to its strong local presence. This proximity guarantees competitiveness for a start: our three regions are able to serve our markets via industrial routes that have been optimized with regard to time and cost from production to delivery.
Oil and gas market
Vallourec markets innovative solutions designed for exploring and extracting oil and gas deposits—drilling operations, line pipe, shaft equipment—in the most extreme conditions.
Industrial market
Vallourec has developed an offering of strong, light tubes designed for numerous industrial applications: refineries, hydraulic cylinders, machine tools, automobiles, construction, etc.
New Energies market
Vallourec is leveraging its expertise in materials and connections for the oil and gas industry to test and qualify its products for use in new applications, including Geothermal, Hydrogen, Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage (CCUS) and solar.
To be better positioned on these markets, Vallourec has organized its solutions’ portfolio for the energy transition in one complete offer called Vallourec® New Energies.

Our 15,000 employees’ local presence conveys a major aspect of the group’s strategy: to be as close to our customers as possible. This implies three high-priority challenges: understanding their needs and meeting them as efficiently as possible, participating even more in the development of national economies, and increasing our competitiveness.
