Cut, formed, machined, and welded parts that install cleanly
If you are exploring China for laser cut blanks, formed sheet, welded frames, brackets, or finished assemblies, the priority is simple. Parts must fit on install, surfaces must arrive intact, and counts and labels must match the drawing and the job pack. Orient Exports sources the right process mix for your geometry and finish, then carries those details through sampling, production, inspection, and export so the field crew is not forced to improvise.
Typical packages include carbon and stainless grades across common gauges, laser or plasma cut profiles, press brake work, roll forms, machining where interfaces demand it, and weldments with galvanizing, powder coat, or e-coat. We keep packaging specific to the route and to the handling your site will use so edges and finishes survive the trip.
Most teams want confirmation on three things. Can the supplier hold critical dimensions and flatness after forming and finish. Will holes, slots, and interfaces align with mating parts at install. What is a realistic lead time once coatings enter the plan. We answer those with measured samples, finish panels, and a schedule that respects coating windows rather than compressing them late.
Drawings and revision IDs travel with the cartons and photo sets so installers see the same version everyone approved. Material certificates and finish records are included when projects require them. Pallet patterns and weights reflect the gear at the destination. That prevents slow intake and avoids repacks on the dock.
Steel is durable but coatings and edges are not. We specify separators, corner and edge protection, and tie-downs that keep parts square and surfaces clean. Carton or crate strength and pack density are set for the lane you chose. The receiving team can verify identity and count from exterior labels and photos without opening extra units.
Lead time is usually driven by coating capacity and cure windows. Consolidation from mixed processes can be the second constraint. We publish dates that reflect both so fabrication, finish, and bookings line up with the project calendar. If the site date is fixed we stage deliveries so installation starts on time and the balance follows without idle labor.
Total cost is not only the price per part. It is also rework caused by small dimensional drift, delay caused by scratched finishes, and extra touches at intake. We call this out early. A slightly higher unit cost that protects fit and finish usually produces a lower landed cost once labor and schedule are included.
Steel programs fail for ordinary reasons. A drawing change does not reach the floor. A bend sequence lifts a tolerance. A coating shop crushes a buffer and forces a repaint. Our value is simple. Keep specifications explicit, show evidence at each step, protect finish in the crate, and ship with documents that match what the site expects. Because we also run inspections and export, the package that leaves China is the package your team receives.
Use Custom Steel Fabrication when you are qualifying new vendors for frames or brackets, when a current supplier struggles with dimensional control or finish quality, or when you are consolidating metalwork across projects. If you are still choosing a factory start with Supplier Sourcing and Audits. If you need acceptance criteria and first articles set, see Product Development and Samples. If the factory is chosen and you need disciplined checks and paperwork, go to Quality Control and Logistics.
Send drawings or a model, finish targets, mating part details, and the site date you are working to. Include any prior nonconformance notes if you are replacing a vendor. We will return sample dates, a production plan that respects coating windows, and a ship schedule your planners can lock.
