Vallourec, a global leader in premium tubular solutions, has announced a USD 48 mln expansion of its Youngstown, Ohio facility as part of its long-term commitment to U.S. manufacturing. The company has invested more than USD 1.5 bln in the U.S. over the past 15 years.
The investment will fund a new Premium Threading Line within Vallourec’s existing steelmaking and finishing operations, creating a fully integrated domestic manufacturing route for Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG). The new line will expand capacity to produce VAM high-torque connections, increasingly used in complex onshore wells, and further strengthen Vallourec’s position in the U.S. energy market.
Construction began in July 2025 and is expected to finish by early 2027, with no impact on current operations. Once complete, the project will create 40 full-time jobs, bolster the regional supply chain, and support Ohio’s energy and industrial sectors.
Vallourec North America, headquartered in Houston, Texas, operates a fully integrated, 100pct Made in America seamless tube production network centered in Youngstown.
