Welcome to the brand new magazine of the Vallourec Oil and Gas division. Last
April, we conducted an online survey to get your feedback about the V&M Report
magazine. I would like to thank you all for taking the time completing it.
The survey confirmed that our magazine is an effective tool for your business and
an important source of information about our products and technologies. Nevertheless,
you suggested many possible improvements. That is why we decided to keep the
concept of an Oil and Gas magazine but overhauling its design, structure, its ‘look
and feel’, and contents.
Today, we are proud to launch the first issue of CONNECTION!
CONNECTION will be available in a -traditional paper version -and also through a
web-magazine that will offer additional multimedia material. Furthermore, it will be
complemented by an e-newsletter every time that important news so requires.
Talking about web technology, I am pleased to announce that we have just finalized
an application for smartphones that should be very helpful for all VAM users. The
“VAM app” is now available both on the App Store for iPhone and on Blackberry
App World. We encourage you to download this app and discover its exclusive tools
and functionalities!
You will see that this first issue of CONNECTION covers very rich corporate news
for Vallourec, illustrating our strong willingness to develop our activity and to be
closer to our clients. Last September, we inaugurated Vallourec & Sumitomo Tubos
do Brasil, our new Brazilian state-of-the-art integrated mill that already
started production and that will deliver 600,000 tons of seamless
pipes all over the world. Very recently, we also concluded the acquisition
of Zamil pipes, a heat treatment and threading plant of more
than 100,000 tons in Saudi Arabia.
This first issue is also a good opportunity to introduce the new
VAM Global Solutions team to you. Indeed, we have just hired a
team of 20 people dedicated to designing and providing our customers
with a comprehensive offering of solutions to complement our OCTG
products with tailor-made services ranging from well design to
supply chain management and completion packages.
Enjoy reading it and let’s stay connected thanks to CONNECTION!
We wish you a Happy
New Year 2012!
