The combination will systematically bring together the respective strengths of both companies. Particular synergies will arise in the product areas of seamless heavy-wall tubes, seamless precision steel tubes, HPL tubes, hydraulic products, tubes for the energy sector and stainless steel tubes. Customers will benefit from a broader product range, combined technical expertise and an even higher level of service.
The extensive central warehouses of the Hoberg & Driesch Tube Group in Düsseldorf, Duisburg and Neuss provide an important foundation for further growth. From these locations, H&D ATTEC A.Ş. will have access to a broad product range and high levels of material availability. In addition, the establishment of a dedicated customer warehouse in Turkey is planned. This will help to further shorten delivery times, increase local availability and supply customers with even greater flexibility.
For Hanns-Jörg Westendorf, CEO of the Hoberg & Driesch Tube Group, the combination lays the foundation for a long-term growth strategy: “By joining forces, we are creating a strong joint platform for our continued growth in Turkey. We are combining international procurement and warehousing expertise with many years of local market experience and a comprehensive understanding of our customers’ requirements.”
Özcan Aydin, CEO of ATTEC International, also sees the combination of the two companies’ respective strengths as a key factor for success: “Through this partnership, we are combining the warehousing and procurement expertise of HOBERG & DRIESCH with ATTEC’s market access. Turkey is a strategic growth market for us. With our investment, we are creating the conditions required to become one of the country’s most important suppliers of steel tubes.”
The new company stands for a comprehensive product range, a high level of supply reliability and a consistent focus on the needs of Turkish industry. At the same time, the combination strengthens the long-term presence of both the Hoberg & Driesch Tube Group and ATTEC Holding in the Turkish market.
