Global Steel Pipe Producer Interpipe to Lead the Fight on Fake Pipes in the GCC
- Interpipe Registers Trademark with the UAE Ministry of Economy
- Every Third Skyscraper in the UAE Currently Uses Interpipe pipes
- Scale of Emerging Counterfeit Steel Industry in GCC Unknown
Interpipe has supplied steel to the UAE market for more than 10 years and occupies a leading position as a supplier of steel pipes in the local market. Interpipe products are widely used in construction and infrastructure projects and can be found in approximately every third building in the UAE. The region accounts for more than 16 percent of the company’s global sales.
“The depth of the counterfeit steel industry in the UAE remains unquantified, however its existence presents a significant challenge, not only to the steel industry but to the construction business as a whole,” said Andrey Burtsev, Vice-President of Pipe Sales in the Middle East and North Africa, “because uncertified steel cannot be guaranteed for its integrity, strength or durability.
“As a global business, we understand and uphold the importance of a high quality, certified product and remain committed to delivering steel that the industry and our clients can trust,” continued Burtsev. “Interpipe products are well known and established in the UAE, and this move to officially register our trademark is a positive step towards introducing an additional – and necessary – line of defence against the counterfeit industry.”
