Thyssenkrupp Schulte and Tubos Reunidos drive sustainable steel pipe solutions across Europe

Thyssenkrupp Schulte, the materials distribution and service arm of Thyssenkrupp, has entered into a strategic alliance with Spanish seamless pipe producer Tubos Reunidos. The partnership is designed to expand the reach of O-Next®, Tubos Reunidos’ groundbreaking low-emission steel, and make sustainable pipe solutions widely available to European manufacturers, infrastructure projects, and energy companies.

As the exclusive distributor, Thyssenkrupp Schulte strengthens its commitment to sustainability and offers customers access to a broad portfolio of seamless steel pipes, including cold-drawn precision tubes, hydraulic line pipes, hot-rolled C-grade pipes, as well as high-alloy and stainless steel tubes.

O-Next® represents a new benchmark in steelmaking: produced in electric arc furnaces powered by renewable energy, its carbon footprint is reduced to 0.045 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne of steel (Scope 1 & 2) and 0.4 tonnes including Scope 3—compared with more than 1.8 tonnes for conventional production.

This collaboration ensures that European industries can now source seamless pipes that combine technical performance with drastically reduced carbon emissions, supporting both ESG compliance and long-term decarbonization goals.
