In 1998, we established a joint venture named IPSCO Gesellschaft für Pipelineservice mbH in collaboration with IPS Holding from the USA. This initiative arose after many years of representing IPSCO companies, marking a natural progression into Central Europe. Subsequently, our original joint venture partner underwent multiple ownership changes, leading us to acquire all shares in IPSCO GmbH in 2006/2007. Since then, we have operated IPSCO GmbH as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TechnoPipe GmbH. For over 25 years, our mission has been to ensure the operational functionality of pipeline systems, even during maintenance, retrofitting, modifications, emergencies, and new construction projects.
Our personnel are highly skilled, enabling us to offer prompt, efficient, and economically viable solutions for any pipeline-related challenge. We possess and operate the complete range of equipment available on the market for hot tapping, line stopping, and stopple operations under operating conditions. Additionally, we provide both equipment and accessories for the aforementioned services, as well as repair couplings in accordance with GasHDLtgVO.
On-Site Services
Our clientele includes all major oil and gas companies, the chemical industry, pulp and paper industry, steel industry, utilities, as well as water and wastewater treatment plants and industrial facilities. For them, we design, develop, and manufacture both standard and custom pipe fittings and equipment. Our products and services are available 24/7, 365 days a year.
If you need to work on your pipeline systems, contact IPSCO GmbH. We will show you how to perform these tasks without having to shut down or interrupt critical processes (line stopping). Our complete range of products and on-site services is available worldwide. With our assistance, you can keep your pipeline systems operational without interruption.
