The company
Tenaris Dalmine, Tenaris’s headquarters in Italy, is the first Italian producer of seamless steel tubes, with an annual production capacity of 950,000 tonnes of finished products, more than 3,000 employees and 5 factories in Italy.
The needs
The obsolescence of the system together with a new sensitivity towards the environment led the customer to the need to renovate the furnace park of its factories. Watchwords: safety, sustainability and modernity.
The solution
