EUPEC is Europe's leading provider of coatings for oil-, gas- and water-pipelines. In 2011 the company generated a turnover of more than EUR 200 million and currently employs 120 people at four locations in France and Germany.

EUPEC supplies coatings for various on- and off-shore applications. Customers all over the world are served from the company's headquarters in Graveline in northern France and from its German subsidiary in Muelheim. During the last three years, EUPEC has been providing all the concrete weight coating for the pipelines of the Nordstream project.

'EUPEC has proven its in-depth expertise in delivering technologically complex solutions in numerous international projects. Based on this competence we are excited to further expand EUPEC's business', comments Dr. Axel Geuer, founder of mutares AG and member of its executive board.
