Equipped with cutting-edge tube mill technology from Fives, the Sughd Metal facility has positioned itself as a leading production center in Central Asia's metal sector, successfully reaching its planned output capacity.
Situated in the Bobodjon-Gafurov district of Tajikistan, the plant combines metal cutting, processing, tube production, and packaging activities under one roof. With an annual production goal of 100,000 tonnes of welded steel tubes, the facility has now met and surpassed this target through the consistent operation of two OTO tube mills designed by Fives.
Performance and Market Impact
From the initial startup phase, the OTO mills have shown exceptional reliability and steady performance, guaranteeing tube quality that exceeds conventional industry standards.
"We are proud to see our technology contributing to Sughd Metal's growth and leadership in Central Asia. The mills' reliability and performance have opened new market opportunities for our partner, reinforcing their position on the international stage," states Luca Cagnolati, Sales and Marketing Director at Fives OTO, a Fives subsidiary that specializes in tube mill technology.
Technical Excellence and Regional Development
The effective implementation of the OTO mills illustrates Fives' capability to provide complete tube mill solutions that unite mechanical engineering, process knowledge, and sustained operational dependability. Through its partnership with Fives, Sughd Metal has achieved accelerated market entry and broadened business opportunities throughout Central Asia.
Model for Future Investment
As the facility strengthens its production capacity, this initiative represents a blueprint for tube manufacturing investments across the region, showcasing how sophisticated equipment and technical expertise can drive industrial advancement.
