Lugansk Tube Plant came into operation in 1913, producing about 2,100 tonnes of pipes with 0.5" and 1.5" diameters in the first year. Pipes were welded in coal-fuelled heating furnaces.
The first ERW mill "10-76" was commissioned in 1963. The Plant fully switched to high-current welding technology in 1972. As of November 2010, Lugansk Tube Plant had produced about 9.8 mt of steel welded pipes over its lifetime.
At the moment, the Plant operates seven ERW pipe mills with total production capacity of about 500,000 tpy. The equipment includes:
