Centravis Production Ukraine (Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk region), part of Centravis Ltd., produced 13.77 thousand tons of seamless stainless steel pipes in 2025, compared to 13.7 thousand tons in 2024, while in 2023–2024, the company’s annual production growth rate reached 12%.
As Centravis CEO Yuriy Atanasov said during an online press conference on Friday, Nikopol is currently under constant shelling.
“We continue to work in these difficult conditions. And production at the level of almost 14 thousand is an incredible victory. We are improving our financial position and reducing our credit position. We are raising salaries, and the average salary in the company has now reached UAH 39,000,” the CEO said.
According to him, in 2025, the company increased its export share from 90% to 96% and supplied more than 13,000 tons of seamless stainless steel pipes to world markets.
According to the press release, among Centravis’s contracts are cooperation with GE Steam Power, a division of General Electric specializing in equipment for steam power and industrial energy systems; a contract with Ellimetal NV, a Belgian company that processes and supplies high-tech metal solutions for heat exchange and industrial equipment; a contract with RFF Rohr Flansch Fitting, under which Centravis won the competition with leading European manufacturers and supplied pipes for the overhaul of a heat treatment furnace at the Voestalpine Donawitz plant (Austria), as well as a number of other projects.
The main focus is on maintaining and strengthening positions in the global market, working with high-tech customers, and implementing complex engineering solutions.
“For us, it’s not about quantity, but quality. We don’t compete with cheap Indian or Chinese pipes. Our priority is marginal projects with complex technical solutions and increased quality requirements. In this segment, we are able to compete with leading European and American manufacturers,” Atanasov emphasized.
He also recalled that in 2025, Centravis traditionally participated in key global industry events, including Adipec 2025 in the UAE and Made in Steel in Milan.
The press release also states that the economic results of 2025 enabled the company to increase investment in production, fulfill its social obligations, and contribute to Ukraine’s sustainability. Last year, investments amounted to UAH 159.6 million (+13.5%); the amount of taxes and fees paid increased by 24% to UAH 680.8 million; and funding for philanthropic projects reached UAH 11.5 million.
“We hope that 2026 will bring Ukraine lasting and just peace, and we will be able to focus on rebuilding the country, developing production, and exporting products made in Ukraine,” Atanasov concluded.
According to Centravis CFO Alexander Joseph, EBITDA in 2025 amounted to EUR 12 million, which is twice as much as in 2024.
As reported, the company planned to increase production to 15,000 tons in 2025.
Centravis was founded in 2000 and is one of the ten largest manufacturers of seamless stainless steel pipes in the world. Its main production facilities are located in Nikopol (Dnipropetrovsk region). In 2023, a branch of the company opened in Uzhhorod.

Its shareholders are members of the Atanasov family. Centravis Ltd. owns 100% of the shares of PJSC “Centravis Production Ukraine.”
