Pemco

What Pemco does

Pemco Supplies DMCC is a Dubai-headquartered, privately held stockist and distributor of tubular goods founded in 2004, serving the oil and gas, water production, and geothermal power industries. Its core product set comprises Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) manufactured to API 5CT (grades H40 through Q125/V150) including sour-service, high-collapse, and chromium grades, alongside Line Pipe (API 5L), Drill Pipe (API 5D and API Spec 7 in grades E75–S135), slotted and perforated tubulars, well screens, and downhole accessories, with complementary surface and subsurface oilfield equipment sourced through a strategic alliance with a leading US manufacturer. Geothermal is a dedicated vertical served with adapted OCTG configurations — thermocycling threads, specialized slots, modified lengths, and alternate steel grades — that the company has supplied for over 10 years.

The company's operating model combines two channels: trading surplus tubular inventory purchased directly from oil and gas operators (with full traceability to original mill certification and NDT inspection), and new production sourced from a network of approved mills. Comprehensive OCTG stock management programs — covering requirement planning, consignment, inventory management, rig preparation, rig returns, and machine-shop services — are offered as a layered professional service on top of the physical-goods business. All operations sit under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system audited by DNV, with third-party inspection embedded in both new-production and ex-stock flows.

Pemco distributes from a Dubai headquarters with regional sales branches in Kazakhstan (Central Asia) and Perth, UK (Europe), and holds inventory in five global oilfield hubs — Houston, Rotterdam, Jebel Ali, Singapore, and Hamriyah — with co-located access to threading, inspection, and repair facilities. GTM is enterprise field sales with bespoke, quote-based pricing; marketing is largely direct via the corporate website, LinkedIn, downloadable brochures, and email. The company is founder/management-owned with no disclosed institutional investors or parent, and operates Pemco Supplies DMCC (UAE) and Pemco Supplies UK Ltd (United Kingdom) as separate legal entities.
