Texas group adds new lines to meet project-specific needs
Texas-based Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPIH) said its subsidiaries in India and the Middle East have procured and installed large capacity production lines for surface preparation, heating and coating for a wide range of piping materials and specialty shapes to serve the oil and gas, and water transmission industries at our existing facilities in Gandhidham in India, and Fujairah.
“Adding to our existing custom coating capabilities, our new capabilities are referred to as “FAB-COAT” custom coatings. Each facility has two new, large capacity production lines with hot air circulation ovens for heating blast-cleaned pieces, and both dry powder and liquid coating application lines,” said the company which operates through Perma-Pipe Middle East FZC and Perma-Pipe India Pvt Ltd.
Perma-Pipe now offers high quality internal and external custom coatings to meet customers’ project-specific needs and for many different shapes and sizes such as line pipe, vessels, prefabricated pipe spools, bends, tees, flanges, valves, skids, reducers, fittings, aluminum panels and a number of other shaped and sized steel pieces for a wide range of industry applications.
“We can apply anti-corrosion coatings including Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE), Three-Layer Polyethylene and Polypropylene (3LPE / 3LPP), Liquid Epoxies, Polyurethanes, Zinc-Rich and Polysiloxanes on an impressive range of lengths, diameters and spool piece sizes,” Senior Vice President for Perma-Pipe’s MENA region Grant Dewbre said on 9 Dec 2020.
“In a further exciting development, Perma-Pipe Middle East FZC has been successful in securing our first sizable orders for the recently commissioned facility to apply internal and external fusion bonded epoxy anti-corrosion coatings for customers in both the oil and gas, and water transmission industries.
“We look forward to providing high-quality FAB-COAT custom coating services to a wide range of customers in the Middle East, India, and beyond,” Dewbre said.

We believe that becoming a provider in this segment in the MENA region offers attractive growth for us, and it is very satisfying to see immediate returns from our investment,” elaborated David Mansfield, President and CEO Perma-Pipe.
