East Pipes Integrated Company for Industry (East Pipes) has launched its new Helical Submerged Arc Welded (HSAW) steel pipe production line in Dammam. Following the initial February 2025 announcement, the facility in the Second Industrial City is now fully operational.

This expansion adds 100,000 tons to the existing 400,000-ton output, raising the company’s total yearly nominal capacity to 500,000 tons. The project is in line with long-term plans to improve manufacturing efficiency and volume.

It is expected that the financial benefits of this increased production will appear in the company’s results starting in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026.
