MOSCOW (MRC) -- Tubi USA, Inc. (the
"Company" or "Tubi") is pleased to announce the first commercial production run
at the Company’s newly commissioned plants in Bartow, Florida. Production at the
site in Florida is currently classified as essential service under COVID-19
restrictions, said the company.
Tubi has established a new mobile
manufacturing site in Bartow, Florida with two plants that are now both fully
commissioned and operational. The two new plants have significant technological
upgrades with production lines capable of the highest production rates and the
most advanced quality control monitoring in the world. Customers in Florida are
already taking advantage of Tubi’s unique ability to produce 500-foot pipe
lengths at the jobsite. Previously, the Florida HDPE pressure pipe markets were
geographically isolated from HDPE pipe manufacturing plants. Having direct
access to the new Tubi plants in central Florida reduces freight and
installation costs, improves safety, reduces carbon emissions, and creates local
jobs.
Tubi currently operates a mobile extrusion plant in Odessa, TX with
plans to move a fourth new mobile extrusion plant to Tucson, AZ in
September.
Tubi’s Chief Executive Officer, Marcello Russo, said: "The
health and welfare of our employees, customers and local communities is our
highest priority at this difficult time during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have
adapted to work within the restrictions applied to our movement and activities
as required by authorities. "Establishing a base site in Bartow, Florida,
consistent with the strategy announced in March, is creating new opportunities
for innovation and differentiation."
According to MRC' ScanPlast, Russia's April
estimated consumption of HDPE fell to 69,130 tonnes compared to 78,220 tonnes a
month earlier. ZapSibNeftekhim significantly increased export sales to China. In
the first four months of the year, the total supply of HDPE to the Russian
market amounted to 377,450 tonnes, which corresponds to the figure a year
earlier. Production volumes have grown significantly, and exports have also
grown almost five times.

Company offers mobile modular extrusion, bore reeling, stringing, and corrugated
pipes. Tubi serves customers worldwide. Tubi manufactures and provides solutions
