‘If Maxi Group actually enters the weldless pipe market, its rivals are bound to try to prevent the company from succeeding in the business,’ UralPromSnab’s Sales Manager Dmitriy Gilvanov said to UrBC. He is also inclined to think Maxi Group might experience some difficulties creating the demand for its goods.

‘Consumers are more likely to buy weldless pipes from a company with a well-established reputation, a company they have for a long time been doing business with,’ Mr. Gilvanov observed.

Maxi Group has recently started putting up a weldless pipe production plant in Revda; experts tend to feel the company is going to have a hard time winning its share of the market.
