MesoCoat Considers Brazilian Pipe Coating Partnership

摘要

Euclid, Ohio-based MesoCoat Inc. is considering a four-line pipe cladding facility in Brazil in cooperation with state petroleum company Petrobras that would serve Brazil's rising demand for oil and gas pipelines in new discovery areas and in established networks. MesoCoat is currently mounting a $6.3 million one-line factory in Euclid with an annual throughput of up to 30 kilometers of pipe. Once this pilot plant is established, the company could pursue the larger industrial format in Brazil and other countries, company executives have said. Site work in Brazil is already advanced, one source indicates.
