After much planning and preparation, we are thrilled to announce the establishment and incorporation of Marubeni-Itochu Tubulars (Guyana) Inc. (MITG)., with Russ Strilchuk serving as General Manager. This new venture will help us service our key accounts even more effectively and ensure presence in the country of Guyana for many years to come.

Customer partnership played a large role in getting this business off the ground – regional clients encouraged us to open the office, provided vital support for questions and concerns, and guided us to key contacts in Guyana to help the process along. Having operations directly in the country gives us an opportunity to learn how to better manage specifically for those clients and provides additional revenue streams as well. We plan to receive our first customer orders within Q1 of 2026.

As we continue into 2026, we are filled with optimism and gratitude for the incredible support given from our employees and customers, and the opportunities this new office will bring. Here’s to a year of collaboration, commitment, growth, and achievements beyond expectations!
