Erbosan Pipe

Erbosan Erciyas Boru Sanayii ve Ticaret A.S. is an industrial company headquartered in Kayseri that produces straight-seam black and galvanised steel pipes and profiles. ERBOS shares trade on Borsa Istanbul.

The product range consists of plumbing pipes, natural gas pipes, fire sprinkler pipes, pressure pipes, industrial pipes and square and rectangular hollow sections; the company also sells sheet in packs, coils and slit form. Production and sale of zinc calcine are also among its registered activities. The pipes are used in water and heating installations in buildings, natural gas distribution lines, fire extinguishing systems and steel construction applications. The company presents its quality management as a separate section on its corporate website.

For steel pipe producers, the main issues investors watch are hot-rolled coil and zinc prices, construction and natural gas infrastructure investment, protective measures in export markets, energy costs and working capital needs. Raw material price fluctuations can noticeably affect profitability through inventory valuation, and zinc cost is a separately tracked item for galvanised products.
