What Hatboru does

Hatboru is a Turkish industrial pipe manufacturer founded in 1964 and headquartered in Antakya, Hatay. The company produces spiral welded steel pipes using a proprietary 12-step Spiral Submerged Arc Welding (SSAW) process, along with steel and PVC drill pipes, PVC casing pipes, and a range of external/internal coating systems (polyethylene, epoxy, polyurethane, cement mortar). It operates five production lines (two steel drill pipe lines and three spiral welded steel pipe lines) on a 100,000 m² site with 30,000 m² of indoor space, giving it a combined production capacity of 200,000 tons per year and a maximum pipe diameter of 3,048 mm.

Hatboru serves four primary end markets: municipal water infrastructure, oil and gas transmission, drilling contractors (water well, geothermal, mining), and construction. Its products comply with API 5L, EN ISO 3183, AWWA, DIN, TSE, and other international standards, supported by an in-house laboratory conducting destructive, non-destructive, and coating tests. The company holds API Spec Q1, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001, CE, and TSE certifications, which are required for participation in large public-utility and energy tenders.

Commercially, Hatboru sells primarily through direct enterprise engagement to government utilities, construction firms, drilling contractors, and oil and gas operators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Approximately 70% of annual output is exported, reaching customers across three continents, supported by a regional subsidiary, HATBORU ROMANIA S.A., in the Giurgiu Free Zone. A separate subsidiary, Hatboru Plastik Boru San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti., manufactures PVC drill and wash-basin pipes. The company remains privately held with 100% Turkish capital, with no disclosed external equity or debt funding.
