What CHELYABINSK PIPE ROLLING PLANT PJSC does

CHELYABINSK PIPE ROLLING PLANT PJSC (ПАО «ЧТПЗ» / ChTPZ Group) is a Russian publicly traded pipe manufacturer founded in 1882, headquartered in Chelyabinsk with additional production facilities in Sverdlovsk Oblast via its wholly owned subsidiary Pervouralsky Novotrubny Zavod (PNTZ). The company specializes in large-diameter electric-welded pipes, seamless pipes, pipe fittings, anti-corrosion coatings, ceramic flux, and next-generation pipes designed for challenging operating conditions, producing approximately 70% of pipes used in Russian oil and gas pipeline infrastructure. Core manufacturing assets include the 'Height 239' (Vysota 239) large-diameter pipe workshop, the SOT pipe-fittings plant, the Eterno corrosion-resistant technology unit, and an anti-corrosion coating section, all operated under the company's 'White Metallurgy' (Белая металлургия) production philosophy emphasizing environmental safety and high production standards.

The company operates a B2B enterprise field-sales model, supplying pipes on a contract basis directly to major energy corporations — primarily PAO Gazprom — and to Russian and CIS oil and gas infrastructure projects. Notable pipeline references include Nord Stream 2, TAPI, and SARYARKA. Pricing is negotiated per contract and not publicly disclosed. The firm employs 5,001–10,000 people across ChTPZ Group enterprises and holds long-term technology partnerships with German OEMs SMS Group and LOI Thermprocess, plus Italian equipment partners STS s.r.l and EM Moduls, supported by raw-material supply relationships with Severstal, MMK, Metalloinvest, and MidURAL Group.

Following the death of long-serving Chairman Alexander Fedorov on 24 January 2021, governance transitioned to Andrey Komarov as Chairman of the Board of Directors and B.G. Kovalenkov as General Director. The company is recognized at federal and regional levels, with its leadership having received the Order of Friendship (2002), Order of Honour (2007), and the Russian Government Prize in Science and Technology, reflecting its strategic role in domestic pipe manufacturing and import substitution.
