According to Centravis Sales Director Artem Atanasov, the company continues to closely monitor the development of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East and its potential impact on regional logistics and supply chains.

“Over the past weekend, the situation has changed, and new developments have affected previously available logistics options,” Atanasov stated.

According to him, as of March 16, several shipping lines have temporarily suspended new bookings to and from a number of destinations in the Persian Gulf region, including the UAE, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia (Dammam & Al Jubail), Oman (Sohar), and Bahrain.

The sales director of Centravis noted that the situation remains fluid. Shipping lines are currently working on possible solutions to ensure transportation and minimize operational risks.

Centravis was founded in 2000 and ranks among the top ten largest manufacturers of seamless stainless steel pipes in the world. Its main production facilities are located in Nikopol (Dnipropetrovsk region). In 2023, the company opened a branch in Uzhhorod.

Centravis Ltd. was established on the basis of CJSC “Nikopol Stainless Steel Pipe Plant” and the service and trading companies LLC “Production and Commercial Enterprise ”YUVIS.” Its shareholders are members of the Atanasov family. Centravis Ltd. owns 100% of the shares in Centravis Production Ukraine PJSC.
