Turkey’s Borusan Pipe announced that its U.S. subsidiary, Borusan Berg Pipe, has signed a USD 567 mln sales agreement to supply large-diameter pipes for the Eiger Express Pipeline project, according to a stock exchange filing.
The 450-mile, 42-inch natural gas pipeline will transport up to 2.5 bln cubic feet of gas per day from the Permian Basin to the Katy area near Houston, Texas, with operations expected to begin by mid-2028.
Borusan Berg Pipe will manufacture the pipes at its facilities in Mobile, Alabama, and Panama City, Florida, with deliveries scheduled throughout 2026.
Borusan Berg Pipe operates two plants in the U.S.: a 330,000 tons per year longitudinal welded pipe mill in Panama City, Florida, and a 220,000 tons per year spiral welded pipe facility in Mobile, Alabama.
Founded in 1958, Borusan Pipe is one of Turkey’s leading steel pipe producers. Its domestic operations have a combined capacity of 750,000 tons per year for longitudinal welded pipes and 300,000 tons per year for spiral welded pipes, while its Vobarno plant in Italy produces 29,000 tons per year of cold-drawn special pipes.
