Despite a challenging market environment, Centravis achieved double-digit sales growth, exceeding 14,000 tons in total sales volume. The company continues to strengthen its leadership in key segments, including Automotive and Instrumentation Tubes, Nuclear Tubes & Pipes, and Hollow Bars. At the same time, Centravis is expanding its product portfolio with solutions for hydrogen and highpressure applications, mastering new nickel alloys for demanding environments, and introducing Balev® steel, an innovative alternative to standard grades.
Throughout the year, Centravis successfully expanded its global footprint, reaching 40 countries, with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Sweden, Kuwait, and Singapore among its new export destinations. Looking ahead, the company is prioritizing markets with high growth potential, particularly in North America, the Asia-Pacific region, and the Middle East.
Now Centravis R&D is finalizing Duplex and Super Duplex steel product line, engineered for superior corrosion resistance and performance beyond industry standards. Following specialized in-house processing, these advanced alloys will offer unmatched durability for demanding applications.
It is also reported that Centravis, together with a neighboring manufacturing plant, has created an additional power supply line to enhance the company's energy resilience.
"Additionally, we have invested in protective structures for electricity transformers, ensuring they can withstand potential attacks on energy infrastructure," the company reports on the measures taken to ensure continuous production.
The company also states that in December 2024, it received 926 tons of billets from seven suppliers across Ukraine, Europe, and Asia. An order has also been placed for additional pipe billets to replenish the alloy 625 stock.
Regarding logistics, the company notes that transit times for deliveries to Europe remain stable. Shipments to unloading points in Germany usually take up to one week, with the maximum delivery time to the final unloading destination maintaining a 10-day timeframe. The same timeframes apply to most destinations in Western Europe.
Furthermore, the company cooperates with specialized carriers for oversized pipes up to 25 meters long, offering more competitive prices and custom logistics solutions.
At the same time, Centravis continues to use maritime freight services, engaging various European ports.
"In urgent situations, we can manage air freight to any European airport, taking care of documentation and coordinating with relevant agencies. This service optimizes production and delivery schedules, enabling faster turnaround for time-sensitive projects in Germany and Italy," the publication states.
