Operating initially from London, PPC opened Petroleum Pipe (Middle East) FZE, its Dubai branch, in 1998 and an office in Houston in 2000. We now have Group branches in China, Colombia, Dubai, Houston Tx. USA, Kazakhstan, London and Singapore. Our main stocking locations are Vlissingen (Netherlands), Houston Tx. USA, Singapore, Batam (Indonesia) and Jebel Ali, Dubai (UAE). In addition to our world-wide OCTG ex-stock service, over the past ten years we have developed an integrated supply-chain service for several of our major customers to meet their tubular requirements for long-term oil and gas production programmes. This includes the auditing and monitoring of the panel of mills we source from and long-term advance planning and scheduling of the tubular requirements needed to service these programmes. Our flexibility of supply enables us to provide on-time delivery with back-up stocks to ensure that field operations are not prejudiced.
