Italian processor Marcegaglia raised its stainless welded pipe prices on May 18, 2026, driven by rising raw material, energy, and logistics costs, combined with CBAM pressures. This adjustment spans all structural and ornamental tubes across Europe to offset inflation. The move follows a wave of European stainless price rises after CBAM definitive-phase kick-in on 1 January 2026.
Stainless steel process pipes for food & dairy industry, tubes for heat exchangers and oil & gas, but also construction and ornamental tubes and box sections, as well as tubes for mechanical and automotive applications: with a global production covering all major sectors, Marcegaglia is the world’s top producer of stainless-steel welded tubes.
Why it matters for green steel: Stainless pipe price hikes provide an early indicator of how CBAM-embedded carbon costs are flowing through to European downstream products.
