Tenaris’ Sault Ste. Marie Industrial Centre to Undergo CA$300 Million of Upgrades

The company said the upgrades will affect all the stages in the seamless and electric resistance welded manufacturing process. The site will get an additional threading line for semi-premium and API connections. 

“With this more than CA$300 million investment, on top of more than CA$350 million invested since 2020, we illustrate Tenaris’s steadfast commitment to Canadian manufacturing. Today’s milestone builds on the momentum to expand Canada’s domestic supply chain for OCTG and line pipe,” said Martín Castro, president of Tenaris in Canada. 

The Canadian federal government’s Strategic Response Fund and the provincial government’s Invest Ontario Fund also provided funds for the project. The upgrades will help meet demand for a domestic supply of oil country tubular goods (OCTG), specifically covering steel grade ranges for Canada’s oil and gas industry, the company said. The plan is expected to expand production and product range while maximizing productivity. 

“At a time of rising tariffs and trade uncertainty, our government’s investment in Tenaris reinforces local manufacturing, creates good-paying jobs and delivers real, lasting benefits for the region and for Canada,” said Mélanie Joly, Canada’s Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions. 

The company said the investment will create about 200 direct and indirect skilled jobs.
