OREANDA-NEWS. September 8, 2010. In August, the Ukrainian pipe making industry has demonstrated a 7.5% growth rate. The growth leader was HRTR, with a 70.6% mom growth, yet still trailing last year’s January-August performance by 65.0%. Interpipe's NVTR production declined by 5.6%, while NITR output remained stable. The rest of the industry has shown a 1.3% mom increase in their output.

Millennium Capital: the news is slightly POSITIVE for HRTR UK. The company has demonstrated a 70% hike in production for a second month in a row. However, HRTR still remains largely underutilized, with a 65% decrease in the eight-month output as compared to the 2009 results.
