With the support of advanced tube mill technology supplied by Fives, the Sughd Metal plant has established itself as a high-performance production hub in Central Asia’s metal industry, achieving its designed output capacity.
Located in Tajikistan’s Bobodjon-Gafurov district, the facility integrates metal cutting, processing, tube manufacturing and packaging operations, and has an annual production target of 100,000 tonnes of welded steel tubes. This target has now been reached and exceeded thanks to the continuous operation of two OTO tube mills engineered by Fives.
Since starting up, the OTO mills have demonstrated high availability and stable performance, ensuring superior tube quality that goes beyond traditional standards.
“We are proud to see our technology contributing to Sughd Metal’s growth and leadership in Central Asia. The mills’ reliability and performance have opened new market opportunities for our partner, reinforcing their position on the international stage,”
says Luca Cagnolati, Sales and Marketing Director at Fives OTO, a Fives’ subsidiary specialized in tube mill technology.
The successful deployment of the OTO mills demonstrates Fives’ ability to deliver turnkey tube mill solutions that combine mechanical design, process expertise, and long-term operational reliability. For Sughd Metal, collaborating with Fives has enabled faster market penetration and expanded commercial opportunities across Central Asia.
As the plant consolidates its production capacity, this project serves as a model for investments in tube manufacturing in the region, demonstrating how advanced equipment and process expertise can accelerate industrial development.
