Tenaris

When Claudio Franchi joined Tenaris in 2011 through the Global Trainee Program, he took a chance on an opportunity in Argentina despite not even having a passport at the time. Today, after working across Argentina, Italy, Brazil, the UK and the United States, Claudio serves as Quality Assurance Manager for service and distribution operations across the US.

Tenaris recently joined ASME Pressure Vessels & Piping Conference, in Anaheim, California, to share our latest research on the performance of pressure vessels and pipeline solutions in hydrogen environments.

Our Hydrogen Products Senior Managers, Cristea and Bortot, presented two papers: "Effect of Overload on Fracture Resistance for Line Pipe Application in Gaseous Hydrogen Environment," and "Fatigue Crack Initiation and Life of ASME SA-372 Steel in High-Pressure Gaseous Hydrogen".

Our team also joined the panel "Knowledge Gaps in Engineering of Critical Infrastructure for Hydrogen Compatibility," alongside experts including Sandia National Labs.

The week wrapped up with a Study Group meeting, where we contributed to two industry efforts: standardizing fracture measurements in high-pressure gaseous hydrogen and developing stress-based fatigue design approaches for hydrogen service.

We're proud to be part of the conversations shaping the future of hydrogen infrastructure with our THera® technology, engineered to meet the demands of hydrogen storage and transportation.

The Zalău Film Festival in Romania brought together thousands of people to celebrate culture and creativity last week. Organized by Tenaris and the PROA Foundation, with the support of ProTeatru Association and local authorities, the festival combined cinema, live music, and activities designed especially for young people and families.

The opening night at the Porolissum Roman Castrum welcomed more than 1,000 participants who enjoyed two outdoor film screenings followed by a live concert by Bosquito, a well-known Romanian band. The following two days attracted over 400 visitors each day.

We are proud to support initiatives that bring communities together, create meaningful cultural experiences, and inspire people of all ages through art.

Last week, we opened the doors of our Industrial Center in Campana, Argentina to celebrate the winter holidays together with our employees, their families, and the local community.

The day featured a range of activities including games, robotics workshops, music, art, science carnival games and virtual reality experiences. We also hosted a film screening featuring Lilo & Stitch and Zootopia 2, open to the whole community of Campana.

At Tenaris, we have always believed that an industrial project is only sustainable if it grows alongside the surrounding community. After more than 70 years in Campana, these kinds of events are a testament to that idea.

At our Fondazione Dalmine’s Summer Camp in Italy, children discovered the excitement of learning by doing. From June 29 to July 24 at Fondazione Dalmine’s headquarters, participants ages 6 to 13 explored STEM subjects, robotics, and creative arts through active learning.

Accessible to employees’ families as well as local residents and students, the program reflects Tenaris’s commitment to investing in education and strengthening the communities where we operate.

Developing the next generation’s passion and creative potential is at the heart of Tenaris’s community engagement efforts. Through the Roberto Rocca Education Programs, employees and students come together in collaborative learning experiences that create lasting value.

In Colombia, the Bernardo Foeguen School in Cartagena’s Nelson Mandela neighborhood hosted the Roberto Rocca After School MAPE Fair, where 62 fifth-grade students presented projects addressing local challenges, from environmental protection to energy generation.

Using simple classroom materials, students developed solutions for issues such as oil spills and renewable energy. The winning project, a floating waste-collection boat, stood out for its creativity and practical impact. Throughout the event, students demonstrated critical thinking, innovation, and problem-solving skills.

The Volunteers in Action Program provides our employees with the opportunity to become active community participants.

In Canada, Tenaris employees volunteered for causes they believe in, preparing 250 personal kits for donation to the Calgary Drop-In Centre, while others on the other side of the country cooked and packaged approximately 160 meals for vulnerable community members in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

At Tenaris, we believe that even through small collective efforts, big change is possible, and real material benefit is created for local community partners.
