Strohm is the world's first and leading manufacturer of Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP), a lightweight, non corrosive pipeline solution used for renewable energy and conventional oil and gas applications.

Airborne International was founded by two aerospace engineers in 1995 in The Netherlands. The founders soon surrounded themselves with other aerospace and material experts and quickly built up a strong and established high-end composite design and build company. The company’s goal, as laid down in the name “Air-borne” was to bring the know-how, developed in the Aerospace industry in the areas of design, materials and automated production, to other industries and allow them to benefit from high end product development. The company produces high end products for the space, aerospace and other industries

In 1999, Shell approached Airborne with a request to develop a superior “Composite Coiled Tubing”. With sponsorship from Shell in this program, Airborne developed the concept of the Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP), the core concept of which included the use of one single polymer in the liner, the composite matrix and the coating. As a result, a strong yet flexible pipe was created, capable of handling the tough downhole, offshore and subsea environments. This development led to the world’s first design and the combination of differing but known materials in a unique manufacturing process – TCP was born.

In 2012, a full-scale production site for TCP was built in IJmuiden (Port of Amsterdam). Two years later, the company became independent as Airborne Oil & Gas. In October 2020, Airborne Oil & Gas rebranded to Strohm.

Today, we can proudly say that Strohm has the world's largest TCP track record, has a strong shareholder base and employs more than 250 enthusiastic people from all over the world.
