„
To stay the best, you have to get better all the time.
Herbert Rainer, Technical Project Management
The operation and the manpower-intensive process of maintaining pipe yards bring with them a series of potential dangers. For this reason, the rigorous implementation of safety standards and the implementation of our own preventative measures are our absolute priority. The results speak for themselves: The accident rate was almost always zero in the past few years.
„
The safety of our employees is our utmost concern.
Bernhard Friedrich Renner, Managing Director
Today, we are one of the leading providers in the field of oilfield services in South-east Europe. In addition to proven technological know-how, we provide our customers with expertise in complete solutions – from design through to upgrades. Our customers value in particular our “RRF” concept:
„

Michael Novak, Contract Manager
Preventative maintenance of pipelines and surface equipment for crude oil production is one of our core competencies. Precise timing is required to ensure that work does not interrupt production cycles, which makes effective teamwork vital. As a family-owned and -operated company, we ensure the ideal prerequisites for this result:
cooperation based on partnership – both personal and professional.
We have built 11 pipe yards for pipe servicing. These house the most advanced equipment for the upkeep of pipes in South-east Europe. With zero work-related accidents over a space of several years, we offer the best and safest working conditions in the oil and gas industry. It is exactly this that our customers value about us:
„
utmost quality coupled with utmost safety on site.
Constantin Alexandru, Pipe Yard Operational Manager
To what do we owe our lead over our competitors? We are constantly learning, improving and innovating. And we implement and manage solutions faster and more efficiently. Christof Industries provides the prerequisites for this – thanks to a company culture that
„
encourages proactive behaviour, personal initiative and participative leadership.
Julia Neagu, Manager QE & CC
We have the ability to manage the pressure of very strict deadlines – thanks to a team spirit among our employees that is characterised by integrity and frankness. Being as transparent as possible and offering feedback at all times is the only way to move forward. And to think forward:
„
in order to anticipate a client’s needs and to solve the root of a problem, not the symptoms it creates.
Laurentiu Pruteanu, Pipe Yard Transport Manager
“Zero harm, no losses” – we feel a duty to uphold this guiding principle not only vis-à-vis our employees, but also vis-à-vis the environment. Our auditor systems ensure integrated quality, safety and environmental management at work. Our aim:
„
to minimise the environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle.
