VALLOUREC ANNOUNCES THE CREATION OF AN OPERATIONS
DEPARTMENT AND STRENGTHENS ITS PROCESS AND ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT


Meudon (France), November 5, 2024 – Since its launch, New Vallourec plan has relied on
industrial excellence to enable the premiumization of Vallourec’s offerings and solutions.
To further the drive towards best-in-class global performance, Vallourec announces the
creation of a new Operations Department and a strengthened Process and Engineering
Department.

To provide Vallourec with the best technologies and the most efficient and advanced industrial
processes, the Process and Engineering Department will henceforth include the Process
Communities, the Global Engineering Department, and the Investment Department. Philippe
Carlier, as part of the Executive Committee, will lead this department, with the primary mission of
enabling Vallourec to deliver its products and services with increasing efficiency.

This Process and Engineering Department will itself be integrated into a new Operations
Department headed by Bertrand Frischmann, member of the Executive Committee, who has been
appointed as Vallourec’s Chief Operations Officer (COO). In addition to North and South American
operations, this department will also include the Eastern Hemisphere Industrial Department, and
the functions of Purchasing, Supply Chain, Quality and Industrialization, and Operational
Excellence.

This organization, which takes effect today, marks a new stage in the implementation of our New
Vallourec plan. It aims to better meet our ambition to focus on value over volume, by taking full
advantage of the integration of operations and support functions. As part of his new responsibilities,
Bertrand Frischmann will be based in Meudon, starting next summer.

Philippe Guillemot, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Vallourec, stated: “I
wanted to put in place this enhanced organizational structure to allow us to further advance the
execution of the New Vallourec plan. With a global Operations Department next to me overseeing
our strengthened Process and Engineering Department, we will continue the journey of making
Vallourec a highly efficient, globally-integrated organization. I am confident in the professionalism
and commitment of Bertrand Frischmann, Philippe Carlier, and all of our teams to help make
Vallourec a key industrial leader, dedicated to serving its clients.”
