By the end of 2025, Centravis, a Nikopol-based company, produced 13.77 thousand tonnes of seamless stainless steel pipes, effectively matching its 2024 output.
It is worth recalling that in 2023–2024, the company’s annual production growth reached 12%.
“One could say that we have reached the peak of production under wartime conditions. The fact that we managed to maintain the high level achieved in previous years is already a success. With each passing month, competition in the global seamless stainless steel pipe market is increasing, while, unfortunately, the number of shelling attacks on Nikopol is not decreasing, and global attention to the war in Ukraine is gradually weakening,” said Yurii Atanasov, Chief Executive Officer of Centravis.
Despite these challenges, in 2025 the company increased its export share from 90% to 96% and supplied more than 13 thousand tonnes of seamless stainless steel pipes to global markets.
Among the completed contracts were:
- cooperation with GE Steam Power, a General Electric division specializing in equipment for steam power generation and industrial energy systems;
- a contract with Ellimetal NV, a Belgian company engaged in processing and supplying high-tech metal solutions for heat-exchange and industrial equipment;
- a contract with RFF Rohr Flansch Fitting, under which Centravis outperformed leading European manufacturers and supplied pipes for the major overhaul of a heat treatment furnace at the Voestalpine Donawitz plant in Austria, along with several other projects.
The company’s primary focus remains on maintaining and strengthening its position in the global market, working with high-tech customers, and delivering complex engineering solutions.
“For us, quality matters more than volume. We do not compete with cheap Indian or Chinese pipes. Our priority is high-margin projects involving complex technical solutions and elevated quality requirements. In this segment, we are capable of competing with leading European and U.S. manufacturers,” Atanasov emphasized.
He also noted that in 2025 Centravis traditionally took part in key global industry events, including ADIPEC 2025 in the UAE and Made in Steel in Milan.
The company’s economic performance in 2025 enabled it to increase investments in production, meet its social commitments, and contribute to Ukraine’s resilience.
Specifically, last year:
- investments totaled UAH 159.6 million (+13.5%);
- taxes and duties paid increased by 24%, reaching UAH 680.8 million;
- funding for charitable projects amounted to UAH 11.5 million.
“We hope that 2026 will bring Ukraine a sustainable and just peace, allowing us to focus on the country’s recovery, production development, and exports of Made in Ukraine products,” Yurii Atanasov concluded.
