“Our project consists of the construction of a new tube production plant, similar to the one we already operate at the Saprelorca industrial hub, as well as a metalworking and coating workshop,” Noksel España chief executive Gürkan Akkoyunlu said during a meeting with Murcia regional government enterprise minister Luis Alberto Marín, and the mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil.
The company is awaiting final approval for the project and expects construction to begin later this year. The new pipe mill is scheduled to become operational in 2028.
