Precision tube manufacturer Fine Tubes, with sales offices in Eastern and Western US – including sister business, Superior Tubes – has been granted approval by India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) to supply instrumentation tubing for offshore applications. Fine Tubes specializes in tubular solutions in a range of corrosion-resistant, stainless-steel, nickel alloy and titanium grades.
The approval was secured with the assistance of a dedicated local agent, and as a result, Fine Tubes will now be able to tender for all relevant ONGC contracts. While the current approval covers offshore applications only, there are plans to secure similar approvals for onshore projects.
Indian oil and gas is a key strategic market for Fine Tubes and its US-based sister business, Superior Tube. Both tube mills are part of AMETEK Specialty Metal Products, a division of AMETEK. The businesses recently appointed Rahul Gujar as National Sales Manager for India. He is responsible for developing business opportunities across the country.
