In voestalpine Tubulars GmbH & Co KG, the company Grant Prideco European Holding LLC (subsidiary of the U.S.-based group National Oilwell Varco, Inc. with expertise in the segments drill pipes and premium pipe couplings) is merging with voestalpine Bahnsysteme Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH which possesses corresponding expertise in the steel field through its subsidiary, voestalpine Stahl Donawitz GmbH, and supplies the relevant precursor materials in compliance with exacting quality requirements, and voestalpine Tubulars GmbH & Co KG, which possesses years of cumulative skill in the production of oilfield pipes and untreated green pipes to implement production of premium oilfield pipes and exploit joint accesses to the market.

voestalpine Giesserei Linz GmbH holds 51.0% of shares in Jiaxing NYC Industrial Co., Ltd. The articles of association require at least one vote from another partner for all significant decisions (budget, investments). From this is deduced that despite a 51.0 percent interest, control is not exercised in the interest.

Two companies of the voestalpine Group hold 50% of CNTT Chinese New Turnout Technologies Co., Ltd. Given the alternating right to appoint the CEO (between the joint venture partner and voestalpine) who is empowered to render decisions in all material respects, CNTT Chinese New Turnout Technologies Co., Ltd. has so far been considered a company under joint control, and included in the voestalpine consolidated financial statements through March 31, 2015 according to the equity method.
