Raccortubi UK: A leading supplier of highquality piping materials for critical applications

The CTA Group is a global powerhouse when it comes to delivering outstanding performance in supplying high-quality piping materials for critical applications. Creating the perfect synergy between production and distribution, the Group manufactures, stocks and supplies piping materials for critical applications such as chemical and petrochemical plants, power plants, shipyards, fertiliser plants & offshore platforms.

A recent name change saw its UK branch switch from Raccortubi Norsk to Raccortubi UK. This positive change better embodies who they are and also offers a clearer identity to its UK audience. The change also goes along with the names of all the other international branches of the Group, Raccortubi do Brasil, Raccortubi Middle East and Raccortubi Singapore.

Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, Raccortubi UK specialises in stockholding and distributing piping material for critical applications with a particular focus on the Oil & Gas industry, water treatment plants, nuclear plants, and carbon capture projects.

Leveraging the Group's ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, along with PED and NORSOK approvals, Raccortubi UK demonstrates an unwavering commitment to quality. The company is also registered with Achilles FPAL and SEQual, two key industry standards for UK distributors. These credentials reflect their dedication to implementing best practices, particularly in buyer procurement processes.

Acting as the UK stockholding arm of the Group, Raccortubi UK can easily bring in material directly from its own plants for quick distribution around the UK. Currently stocking around £2.5 million worth of materials at its UK base, they can supply products like Pipes, Fittings, Flanges, and Valves in the following material grades: Stainless Steel, Duplex, Super Duplex, 6mo, Titanium and Nickel Alloys.

What’s more, Raccortubi UK also has access to the Groups central stocks held in Italy, where it can consolidate all deliveries from Italy via one weekly selection, reducing any impact to clients that may occur from transportation costs.

In addition to stocks held in the UK, they also have their own in-house machining facilities and operate a fully qualified NDT department providing such services as Dye-pen, Ultrasonic, Hardness, Ferrite check, PMI and full check analysis.

Since the Raccortubi Group was acquired by the CTA Group in June 2023, it has enabled the company to benefit from a larger target market, giving them a bigger presence around the world. The ability to open up new markets is an area Raccortubi UK has truly taken advantage of, and one that highlights their capabilities to supply a large range of pipes, fittings and flanges in the following Carbon grades for project work including API 5L X60/X65, ASTM/ASME A/SA 333 GR6, GR6/X52 Modified, API 5L GRB, X42, X52, API 5L B/X42, ASTM/ASME A/SA 106/53 GR.B, and API 5L X70 grades all mainly from Tenaris.
