Ukrainian industrial company Interpipe has confirmed its strategic commitment to continuous investment and production modernization even during wartime, Vitaliy Sueta, the company’s Director of Products and Resources, stated at the 2nd Annual Investment Event organized by Economic Pravda
According to Sueta, maintaining positions in international markets and further scaling the business is impossible without systematic equipment upgrades and the creation of unique products. After completing the construction of a new heat-treatment facility in Nikopol worth over $40 million, the company continued investing in equipment for finishing pipe products in 2025.
The company also focuses on developing export markets, with Europe and the United States remaining key destinations, despite their stronger protection of domestic manufacturers.
At the same time, Interpipe invests in entering new markets and in the development, certification, and promotion of new products, which requires long-term expenditures with delayed effects.
“In 2026, we will again invest in new equipment. This is a continuous, organic process that the company has followed for the past 10 years. Investments are a key component to remain competitive in our main export markets—Europe and the U.S., which aim to protect their domestic producers. Moreover, investments in new markets and products in terms of development, certification, and promotion are crucial. These are the invisible investments in the short term that must be made now, because the ‘train will leave’ and won’t wait for us. That’s why Interpipe, with its $120 million investment program to modernize the railway division by 2032, continues to enhance its production without pause,” emphasized Vitaliy Sueta.
