About STROHM:

Leading composite pipe technology company Strohm has the world’s largest track-record for Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) after being the first to bring the technology to the conventional energy industry in 2007. TCP reduces total installed and life cycle cost for subsea pipelines and has proven to reduce the CO2 footprint of pipeline infrastructures by more than 50%.   The company is committed to driving sustainability with its range of TCP solutions which enable clients towards their net-zero carbon emissions targets and supports the renewables sector.    TCP is a strong, non-corrosive, spoolable, lightweight technology which is delivered in long lengths, resulting in a significant reduction of transportation and installation costs. TCP is an enabling technology for hydrogen and CCS markets due to its lack of embrittlement, corrosion and fatigue. It is also 100% recyclable. The firm’s manufacturing facility is located at its headquarters in IJmuiden in The Netherlands. Strohm also has offices in Houston (US) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
