Sughd Metal reaches full production with OTO tube mills
Located in the Bobodjon-Gafurov district of Tajikistan, the facility integrates metal cutting, processing, tube manufacturing and packaging operations, with an annual production target of 100,000 tonnes of welded steel tubes. This target has now been reached and exceeded, driven by the continuous operation of two OTO tube mills engineered by Fives.
Since start-up, the OTO mills have demonstrated high availability and stable performance, ensuring superior tube quality that goes beyond traditional standards.
“We are proud to see our technology contributing to Sughd Metal’s growth and leadership in Central Asia. The mills’ reliability and performance have opened new market opportunities for our partner, reinforcing their position on the international stage,” says Luca Cagnolati, Sales and Marketing Director at Fives OTO, a Fives’ subsidiary specialized in tube mill technology.
