Origins and Expansion
"C ompagnia Tecnica Internazionale" - soon named TECHINT after
the original telex code - was founded as an international corporation
in 1945. The founder, Agostino Rocca, was an innovative engineer,
manager and entrepreneur, and a key force behind the development
of the Italian steel industry in the 1930s.

The company began providing engineering services to a growing

number of clients in Latin America - to where Agostino Rocca had
traveled after World War II - and Europe. Construction activities soon
followed: the first major Techint engineering and construction (E&C)
project was a network of large diameter pipelines in Argentina and
Brazil. After building the southern gas pipeline in Argentina
Agostino Rocca (inaugurated in 1949), and completing other pipeline projects, the E&C activities of the
(1895-1978),
founder of the
company extended during the 1950s to the field of power infrastructure. In those early
Techint Group. years, production of steel structures and heavy mechanical equipment and parts was also
started near Buenos Aires in order to support the industrial ventures which soon followed.

Fueled by Mr. Rocca's vision, the company expanded and diversified its original activities
by building and then operating two seamless steel tube plants, one in Veracruz (Mexico)
and the other in Campana (Argentina). Both plants began production in 1954. In the late
1960s a flat steel cold-rolling facility was built in Ensenada (Argentina), which was
meant to be the first step of a planned fully integrated operation. Steel manufacturing was
now the main industrial activity of the Techint Group.

In the 1960s and 1970s engineering and construction (E&C) activities were developed
further, establishing Techint as one of the world's major pipeline builders, and a supplier
of turnkey plants for productions ranging from steel to petrochemicals. In sixty years
of activity, Techint E&C has successfully completed around 3,500 projects in more than
50 countries, and is presently engaged in large industrial and infrastructure projects
worldwide.

The Techint Group's steel pipes business also continued to grow. In the mid-1980s it
undertook a major, export-oriented expansion of the Campana mill, and acquired Argentine
welded pipe maker Siat. In the 1990s it also acquired control of the Veracruz mill in
Mexico and the Dalmine seamless pipe mill in Italy. Steel pipe manufacturing facilities
were also, in time, acquired in Brazil, Venezuela, Japan, Canada, and more recently
Romania. At the end of 2002 Tenaris, the company under which all the manufacturing
and service activities in the steel pipe business were grouped, was quoted on the stock
exchanges of New York, Milan, Mexico and Buenos Aires. In October 2006 Tenaris
announced the acquisition of Maverick Tube Corp., a leading North American producer
of welded oil country tubular goods (OCTG), line pipe and coiled tubing for use in oil and
natural gas wells. Today, Tenaris is the leading global supplier of tubular products and
services used in drilling, completion and production of oil and gas, in process and power
plants, and in specialized industrial and automotive applications. Tenaris has been
strengthening its competitive position in time by securing power generation and basic steel
production capacity, and continues to invest heavily in research to develop high-end
products and processes.

4
Cold rolling of flat steel in Argentina continued to grow through the 1980s. In 1992 the
Group acquired a majority share of Somisa, the largest integrated flat steel plant in
Argentina, and brought it up rapidly to international production standards through a
major investment program. Steel coating and processing capacities were also expanded
through investments and acquisitions. All Argentine flat steel facilities were then
integrated in Siderar, which today is part of Ternium, a public company that also has the
control of Sidor, Venezuela - one of the largest and most efficient plants in Latin America -
which was acquired in 1997. In August, 2005 Ternium acquired Hylsa, the largest steel
manufacturer in Mexico, and the one with the highest level of vertical integration, whose
activities range from the extraction and processing of iron ore to the manufacturing of
high value-added steel products. Ternium is carrying out important investments in the
three steel mills in order to increase production, improve quality and draw synergies from
process integration and product specialization.

The Techint Group experience and skills in plant making have, since the beginning,
been accompanied by the in-house manufacture of heavy equipment and industrial
machinery. Starting in the 1980s, a series of acquisitions and expansions in Italy had
multiplied the portfolio of products and leading technological solutions, particularly
for the metals and raw materials industries. A more recent, international expansion
has increased the business’ scope and global presence - under the new Tenova
brand - with a product line that includes direct reduction plants, melt shops,
secondary steel making facilities, reheating and heat treatment furnaces, roll grinders
and roll shops, bulk material handling systems, as well as products and technologies
for the rubber and plastics, glass and rock wool industries.

During the 1990s the Techint Group also invested in oil and gas blocks in Argentina
through exploration and production company Tecpetrol. In time, the company has
acquired operations in Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru. Through

 businesses, such as TGN in Argentina and TGP in Peru. The latter holds the concession of
the two Camisea trans-Andean pipelines, one for gas and one for liquids, whose
construction has been one of the most challenging projects ever undertaken by Techint.
Tecpetrol continues to pursue the development of energy infrastructure projects in the
Southern Cone, a synergic field of activity involving all the major strengths of the Group.

In Italy, the Techint Group entered the health services sector in the mid 1990s by building
and managing Istituto Clinico Humanitas, a state-of-the-art hospital and medical
research institute near Milan. Specialized company Humanitas has subsequently
acquired controlling interests in other important private hospitals in Bergamo, Turin and
Catania, where the successful technology-based and patient-oriented management
model, which was adopted in Istituto Clinico, has been replicated.

Overall, the Techint Group comprises more than 100 companies operating worldwide with
a workforce of experienced professionals and skilled workers numbering 44,900
permanent employees. The global annual turnover of companies of the Techint Group,
public and non-public, is nearly USD 16 billion. The magnitude of operations of the main
companies of the Techint Group may be gleaned from the following table ■

a single’s drive and initiative. People with a
spirit of enterprise, rooted in national realities
but with their sights set on the world, have
allowed Techint to successfully meet the
challenges of the internationalization and the
diversification of its activities.

Techint Group companies are "multilocal"

industrial enterprises committed to economic
progress, international markets, and overall
quality. Companies are deeply rooted in the countries where they operate, or are established
with such objective in mind. The aim is to possess a thorough understanding of local cultures,
and thus be able to recognize, and draw fully from local strengths and skills.

The management of Techint Group companies is renowned for its professionalism and for
the strict financial and operational control it exercises over all ventures. Thus, Techint
Group companies are ideal partners for business initiatives, and have often set up joint
ventures with both local and foreign partners wherever they have an established presence.

THE TECHINT GROUP IN BRIEF

The Techint Group is committed to economic progress. Companies contribute to local
development and growth through their output, investment in human resources as well as
investments made to improve the welfare of the local communities in which they operate.
They respect, care for, and contribute to the quality of the surrounding environment.

Techint Group companies aim for competitiveness in international markets, relying on

quality, technology and an understanding of their clients' needs. Techint Group
companies have always prided themselves on their ability to manage complex projects and

power generation plant, with an
associated residential heating project
for the municipality that will use the
residual steam from the plant.
Tenaris’s investments were not limit-
ed to physical plant, but included,
even more importantly, human
capital. During the 2005-06 year
TenarisUniversity began to function
as the company’s corporate center in
charge of employee training and
knowledge management, with a
mission to capture, organize, enrich
and transfer knowledge assets in
order to build and sustain Tenaris’s
competitive advantage. Tenaris
University has also established an
Industrial School to manage training
in the company’s industrial and
technical areas such as steelmaking,
pipe rolling and finishing, quality,
product development and industrial
management. Finally, Tenaris
co-sponsors a fellowships program
for students in engineering and the
applied sciences. The first scholarships
under this program, which takes the
name from the Techint Group’s late
Chairman Roberto Rocca, were
awarded at the end of 2005-06.
In October 2006, Tenaris also
announced the closing of the
agreement through which Tenaris is
acquiring Maverick Tube Corp., a
leading North American producer of
welded oil country tubular goods
(OCTG), line pipe and coiled tubing
for use in oil and natural gas wells.
With operations in the United States,
Canada and Colombia, the newly
acquired assets have a combined
annual capacity of nearly 2 million
tons of steel pipes with a size range
from 1/4 inch to 16 inches. With this
acquisition, Tenaris will gain full
access to the energy sector in the
United States and Canada, offering a
full range of products for applications

Ternium
On February 1st, 2006 Ternium
began trading on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol
TX. It was the conclusion of a
successful and challenging industrial
and financial operation that began
with the incorporation of
majority shares of Siderar
Argentina and Sidor in Venezuela,
and the acquisition of Hylsamex in
Mexico in August 2005.
The new company is one of the
leading steel producers in Latin
America. Through its integrated
operations - from iron ore mines
to finished, custom processed
products - Ternium is able to
provide customers a full line of flat
and long steel products
value-added services. Ternium
focuses on quality and productivity,
on the continuous improvement of
processes and products, and on
building an efficient, integrated
supply chain.
In the 12 months period ending
June 30, 2006, Ternium plants
shipped to market 8.5 million tons
of steel products plus 4.5 million
tons of iron ore, mostly in the form
of pellets. They did so in a very
favorable domestic and international
context, characterized by high rates
of GDP growth in the region where
Ternium plants are located, and
by an increasing demand for steel
the world over on the part of
industries such as car manufacturing,
ship building, energy
construction.
14
Ternium’s mills, including the
recently acquired Mexican assets,
were up to the challenge of
increasing demand. Facing the
buoyant Argentine market, with
growing demand from the
the automotive, construction, machinery
in and agricultural sectors, Siderar
established records in pig iron
production, continuous casting, hot
rolling and cold rolling. Similarly, in
Sidor production records were
broken in the iron ore direct
reduction process - thanks to the
completed revamping of the Midrex
1 module - and in the production of
the Tandem mill. During 2005-06,
Ternium Sidor renegotiated the
and price of mineral with the Venezuelan
state-owned mining company
Ferrominera del Orinoco. Higher
costs were absorbed by the positive
market conditions and the good
performance of the plant, and
margins remained unaffected.
Investments in 2005-06 reached USD
314 million, mostly in Argentina and
Venezuela. In Ternium Siderar’s
Ramallo steel center investment

Tenova

Tenova is the proposed new brand name that covers all activities in plant
making and industrial machinery, which heretofore were designated as being
part of Techint Technologies. The rebranding has been a necessary step to
define the identity of a growing business, parts of which already had, or have
now acquired, world leadership.
The 2005-06 period witnessed an impressive growth of the businesses under
Tenova.
At the beginning of the fiscal year, HyL Technologies SA de CV became part
of Tenova. The company, which is based in Monterrey, Mexico is world leader
in the supply of gas based direct reduction plants through its worldwide
renowned technology. At the beginning of 2006, HyL Technologies entered an
alliance with Danieli to supply HyL direct reduced iron (DRI) plants
worldwide under the brand name of HyL Energiron.
In March, 2006 Tenova entered an alliance with Danieli to supply the
Consteel® technology to steelmakers worldwide. The two companies
decided to join their efforts, knowledge and world market presence
in this field to offer the Consteel® technology as the only system for
continuous charging and preheating of steel scrap in electric arc furnace
(EAF) steelmaking.
In April, 2006 Tenova, with the participation of SMS Demag, acquired the LOI
Group, with headquarters in Essen, Germany. LOI is an international supplier of
high-quality industrial furnaces for the steel and aluminum industry. LOI has
a strong presence in Germany, China, Poland and India and is world leader
in the heat treating furnace market.
At the end of the fiscal year Tenova acquired Key Solutions, a company based
in Vienna, Austria. Key Solutions is an important player in acid regeneration
plants, through both fluidized bed and spray roast technology, that will add
value to the pickling lines competences already present in Tenova.
At the end of the fiscal year Tenova and Hypertherm, an Indian engineering
company focused on the reheating furnace business, set up a joint venture:
YEAR IN REVIEW

Techint Hypertherm Pvt Ltd. The new company, based in Mumbai, aims to
become leader in the supply of reheating furnaces to the booming Indian steel
industry.
Just after the end of the fiscal year, Tenova acquired Pyromet Pvt Ltd, a South
African company based in Johannesburg, leader in the engineering, supply
and construction of Submerged Arc Furnaces as well as complete smelting
plants for the production of ferroalloys and base metals.
During 2005-06 the construction of the Timec workshop in Tianjin, China has
proceeded. The inauguration is scheduled for October 2006. Timec will

fabricate high quality plants and equipment for Tenova and for third parties
in the metal industry and in other industries.
Some of the main contracts for Tenova’s services and technologies in 2005-06
are listed below. They represent the more prominent part of an activity that in
the 12 months period ended on June 30, 2006 resulted in overall sales of

Prices for crude were sustained all
year round: average WTI in 2005-06
was USD 64 per barrel. However,
average realized price for Tecpetrol
before royalties was USD 33 per
barrel, owing to quality and distance
discounts, and export taxes. The
realized price for Tecpetrol’s gas
increased thanks to a successful
campaign of development of
reserves. In Peru, production of
liquids from the Block 88 gas field of
Camisea was above expectations,
and works for the development of
the adjacent block 56 were begun. In
Venezuela, Tecpetrol surrendered

23
the operation of the Colón Unit in
the Maracaibo basin to the newly
formed, mixed enterprise in which
state oil company PDVSA has
majority participation. Tecpetrol’s
interest in the area was reduced from
43.8% to 17.5%. The switch to the
new operative situation slowed
operation and investments in this
high-potential area.
As far as gas is concerned,
the Argentine North-West basin
Aguaragüe block suffered from its
natural decline, that the drilling of
a new production well is expected to
counter when completed. Production
from the non-operated Ramos block
will instead be sustained through
a Compression Project, now in its
initial stage. In August, 2006,
Tecpetrol signed an agreement with
the Tierra del Fuego provincial
authorities in order to study
possible gas exploration prospects.
Outside of Argentina, gas production
from the Peruvian Camisea block, in
which Tecpetrol has a 10% interest,
increased by 19% with respect to
2004-05, but shipments increased by
more than 70% reflecting higher
demand in the end markets, in

Also, production from the Misión
block in Mexico was substantially up.
In 2005-06, Argentine gas
transportation company TGN
dispatched more than 17,000 million
cubic meters of gas to industrial
users, distribution companies and
export pipelines. During this period,
the construction of loops enhanced
the capacity of the system, allowing
TGN to respond to future growth in
demand; however, the freezing of
transportation charges continues
to necessitate financing mechanisms
that involve public sector contributions,
oversight and bureaucracy. In addition,
during 2005-06 substantial advances
were achieved by TGN in the
negotiations on the outstanding
foreign debt.
In Peru, the two pipelines used
to ship the Camisea gas and the
liquids extracted thereof are managed
by TGP. During 2005-06 there were
interruptions in delivery because of
leakages from the liquids pipeline.
The company is cooperating with a
special investigation into these
incidents, and has intensified
monitoring ■

Humanitas was established in 1988
by the Techint Group, jointly with
other industrial and financial
partners, in order to promote,
implement and manage health care
initiatives. In particular, Humanitas
has built or acquired in Italy a num-
ber of health care institutions of
high complexity which it manages.
Humanitas' strategic objective is to
build a network of institutions
characterized by the quality,
efficiency and humaneness of the
service provided, as well as by the
scientific level and the quality of
investments in innovation.
Humanitas' management model
relies on a wide application of
up-to-date integrated information
technology systems, and the use
of the Internet to facilitate the
relationship between the institutions
and both clients and suppliers. The
main features of this model are the
complete control and open, on the

spot analysis of costs; a lowering of
average hospital stays or stopovers;
the minimization of waiting time; the
high level of service, under a
Diagnosis Related Group (DRG)
based payments system. The model
is also based on a constant
interaction between medical staff
and managers to ensure high levels
of quality and the maintenance of a
humane, patient oriented approach
in the delivery of health care.
