Broad incumbents

• Tenaris: Major global manufacturer and supplier of seamless and welded steel pipes for O&G, power and industrial applications; directly overlaps with IPS's piping bulk packages but operates at greater scale with proprietary production capacity.
• Vallourec: Global leader in premium seamless OCTG and line pipe solutions; competes with IPS's pipe/flanges/fittings portfolio from a vertical-integrated manufacturing position and serves the same IOC/NOC customer base.
• Flowserve Corporation: World-leading supplier of pumps, valves, seals and automation for O&G, power and chemical industries; overlaps directly with IPS's valves and instrumentation product lines and serves the same EPC/operator customer base.
• SLB (formerly Schlumberger/Cameron): Diversified oilfield services and equipment (including Cameron subsea valves and instrumentation) provider serving IOCs and NOCs globally; overlaps with IPS on valves, subsea systems and process equipment at much greater scale and vertical integration.
