“The pipe industry is one of the most high-tech industries in metallurgy, where new materials are developed, advanced engineering solutions are applied, and digital modeling is actively used. To maintain a high pace of development, we are entering the startup market and plan to attract talented developers to collaborate on innovative technologies. Among the projects presented, there are undoubtedly many solutions that can increase the efficiency and environmental friendliness of production. In the process of acceleration, we will help to refine the best of them and assess their potential for implementation in TMK, ”said Igor Pyshmintsev, Director for Research, Head of the Scientific and Technical Center (STC) of TMK.
