Description: VK Vallourec

Vallourec S.A. is a France-based tubular solutions provider serving the oil and gas, industrial, and new energy markets across North America, South America, France, the Middle East, Indonesia, and East Asia. The company operates through two segments: Tubes and Mine & Forests, with the latter reflecting vertical integration into iron ore and charcoal production, a notable feature of its business model given its GICS classification as a Steel (Materials) company. Its core offering includes seamless tubes for refineries, petrochemical facilities, onshore and floating LNG projects, and floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units, along with its proprietary VAM premium connections.

Beyond upstream oil and gas, Vallourec supplies rigid subsea and onshore line pipes, coating solutions, and a range of services covering engineering, inventory management, on-site supervision, and integrated subsea pipeline project management. The company is also extending its tubular products into new energy applications such as geothermal, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), and hydrogen, and serves industrial customers with tubes and hollow bars used in construction machinery, agricultural equipment, hydraulic cylinders, and automotive components. Vallourec was founded in 1890 and is headquartered in Meudon, France.
