Manufacturer of thermoplastic tubes, Strohm arrives in Brazil betting on its products to generate new jobs and reduce CO emissions₂

This past Thursday (19), Brazil gave way to Strohm to open one of its branches in Brazilian territory. The state chosen to receive a company of this size was Rio de Janeiro. Many may not even recognize it by that name, given that there has been a change in its nomenclature. Before, it was called Airborne Oil & Gas, and later received the name Strohm. However, even with its name changed, the company continues its work in the same sector, developing composite thermoplastic tubes (TPC). His coming to the country may generate new job vacancies after his stabilization.

What is the reason for Strohm to open a branch in Brazil to sell thermoplastic tubes?

Initially, the expectation for the company to come to do business in Brazilian territory is to proceed with a confidential contract. So far, the company has not reported on what it is about or which company would sign a contract. In fact, little is known about this arrival, but it is expected that it will be very positive and prosper in the Brazilian market, generating job openings in the future.

For the next 12 months, ten more people residing in Rio de Janeiro will be hired to provide engineering assistance. Additional job openings will open later to attract more customers, helping Strohm sell more and meet its monthly targets. Although, these vacancies may take some time, as some adjustments need to be made.

But for business to bring positive results, it is necessary that a good manager manages the place. With more than 20 years of experience in the energy industry and vice president of Strohm in Brazil for three years, Renato Bastos is the name chosen to continue at the forefront of this business and sell as many thermoplastic tubes as possible.

“With Brazil's ultra-deepwater market growing and an increasing number of independent operators acquiring Petrobras fields, we see opportunities both in the highly demanding pre-salt applications and with independents in mature fields. We are in a great position to take advantage of these opportunities. Our thermoplastic tubes are perfectly suited as they are non-corrosive and robust, offering up to 60% reduction in CO footprint₂ compared to steel alternatives. They also reduce installation costs, as they are very light”, reveals Bastos.

Due to its design, thermoplastic tubes are more cost-effective when installed. In addition, their flexibility allows them to be used in the most diverse places. However, everything will depend on how they will be installed. Commonly, these objects are installed on vessels, but do not require any elements to be used in the installation.

Following this model, there will be a reduction in both costs and CO emissions.₂. A partnership between Strohm, Total and ExxonMobil was closed so that tests could be carried out, where the thermoplastic pipes would be subjected to high temperatures, as well as high pressures. Until now, this was the only information released to the public. As for job vacancies, these may still take a while to happen.
