Steel-tubes supplier Tenaris SA (TS) is buying IPSCO Tubulars Inc., a subsidiary of Russian steel-pipe manufacturer PAO TMK.

Tenaris, based in Luxembourg, said Friday the $1.21 billion deal, which includes $270 million of working capital, would grow its U.S. presence.

"This acquisition would mark a further step in our journey as a domestic producer and supplier to the U.S. oil and gas industry," Tenaris Chief Executive Paolo Rocca said in prepared remarks.

IPSCO Tubulars, based in Houston, produces welded and seamless oil-country tubular goods and line pipe products. The company has a yearly production capacity of 1 million metric tons of welded pipe, 450,000 metric tons of steel bars and 400,000 metric tons of seamless pipe, Tenaris said.
