“It is a great pride to have Açotubo as a client since the company was founded in 1974. It’s been forty years of a successful relationship that now celebrates Emerald Anniversary. This has been a partnership built on solid basis of trust and mutual cooperation, always in search of common goals. We started as Mannesmann, then we became V & M do Brasil and now we have adopted Vallourec identity for all the companies in the group. It’s been 60 years in the market supported by the quality and transparency in relations. We can say we have the German, French and Brazilian culture in our history, which added to Açotubo’s “Italian blood”, guarantees flexibility, safety, quality and excellence in the assistance of our clients. We wish and hope to be able to contribute with Açotubo so that the next years are challenging and victorious, which will be achieved with work and innovation. Our internal slogan can also be applied in the successful relation between Vallourec and Açotubo: together we will be stronger. Congratulations Açotubo! The focus now are the next 40 years. Count on us!”
