Borusan Pipe Expands U.S. Operations to Address Critical Onshore and Offshore Pipeline Needs

Borusan Pipe, a subsidiary of Turkish conglomerate Borusan Holding, has announced a significant $68 million investment in its U.S. operations. The company is upgrading its large-diameter steel pipe production facility in Panama City, Florida, to integrate advanced pipe-forming technology. This investment will enable Borusan Pipe to produce smaller-diameter pipes and thicker walls, addressing critical market needs in the onshore and offshore pipeline sectors.

The upgraded facility will integrate advanced technology to shape large-diameter steel pipes through a three-step process—forming flat steel plates into "J," "C," and finally "O" shapes. This enhancement will allow Borusan Pipe to produce pipes with diameters ranging from 16" to 60" and wall thicknesses of up to 2". The company will be the only U.S.-based manufacturer using this technology, catering to industries including oil and gas transportation, offshore projects in the Gulf of Mexico, and renewable energy infrastructure such as wind power.

Ugur Onbasi, President of Borusan Berg Pipe, stated that the new capabilities will help the company meet changing market demands in the onshore and offshore pipeline sectors. The upgraded facility is expected to begin operations in 2027, further strengthening Borusan Pipe's position in the U.S. steel pipe market.



The Biden-Harris Administration's framework for safely and responsibly expanding nuclear energy in the United States aims to deploy 200 GW of net new nuclear energy capacity by 2050. This ambitious goal will be enabled by achieving the following nearer-term targets:

* Jumpstarting the nuclear energy deployment ecosystem with 35 GW of new capacity by 2035 that will be operating or under construction in the United States.
* Accelerating the capability of the nuclear energy deployment ecosystem by ramping to a sustained pace of producing 15 GW per year in the United States by 2040, in support of both U.S. and global project deployments.

These targets reflect ambitious but achievable goals to serve as a call to action for the nuclear energy industry and signal that the U.S. government is working and will continue to work to facilitate the safe and responsible deployment of nuclear energy and related infrastructure and job creation. Expanding U.S. nuclear energy capacity in accordance with these targets will generate hundreds of thousands of sustainable, good-paying jobs in the United States; strengthen domestic nuclear energy supply chains and American manufacturing; enhance energy reliability, grid resilience, and affordability; support the goal of achieving a net-zero emissions economy by no later than 2050; and reinforce American leadership and global competitiveness in nuclear energy technology and innovation.

In conclusion, Borusan Pipe's investment in its U.S. operations demonstrates the company's commitment to meeting the growing demand for steel pipes in the onshore and offshore pipeline sectors. The integration of advanced pipe-forming technology will enable Borusan Pipe to produce smaller-diameter pipes and thicker walls, catering to critical market needs. Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris Administration's framework for expanding nuclear energy in the United States aims to deploy 200 GW of net new nuclear energy capacity by 2050, creating jobs and strengthening domestic supply chains while enhancing energy reliability and affordability.
