Based on our long tradition in Ukraine, Centravis has become the leading supplier for seamless stainless steel tubes in CIS countries with a market share of around 50%. After the takeover of the Nikopol Stainless Tube Mill (NSTM) in 2000, the company entered a phase of persistent growth and was recognised as an ambitious and reliable newcomer in Western markets, at this time under the former name UVIS. As the leading player in the heat exchanger segment, we have gained a solid reputation amongst customers in emerging and developed markets, in the East and West alike.
Re-structuring and change
Recently Centravis has started to undergo a heavy restructuring process. Whereas in the past the focus was more on the commodity and trading business in accordance with Eastern steel grades and specifications, the Centravis shareholders have now decided to invest heavily in new technologies and equipment, as well as training of employees. This has enabled us to move towards Western standards and specifications, focusing on power applications, chemical and petrochemical industries and to become recognised as one of the leading companies in this technology-orientated project business. However, the company will continue to deliver solid seamless stainless steel tube solutions at a competitive price level.
Moving towards Western markets and standards
Customer focus, result orientation and high involvement are the guiding principles of our international team.
Based on the achievements of the past and due to the high specialisation in seamless stainless steel tubes, the company is permanently alert, looking out for ways to improve the performance and quality of solutions for our customers. Our objective over the coming years is to establish a living and breathing company network around the world, so that we can be close to customers, anytime, anywhere. Massive investments in equipment and technology backed by ambitious training and career plans for the employees will help the international and modern Centravis management achieve its goals.
