Customer Background
The customer is a steel structure fabrication company located in an industrial zone in northern Vietnam, mainly engaged in:
Industrial factory steel structures
Warehouse and logistics center construction
Equipment platform systems
Auxiliary steel components for factories
The customer serves multiple industries including:
Electronics manufacturing plants
Textile factories
Warehouse and logistics infrastructure projects
With the rapid expansion of manufacturing activities in Vietnam, the customer increased procurement of:
Medium and heavy structural steel plates
Large-size cut-to-length steel components
Batch welded structural parts
Previously, the customer relied on local trading channels, but faced several issues during peak construction periods:
Unstable delivery schedules
Inconsistent thickness tolerance
Insufficient plate flatness
Therefore, the customer shifted to direct sourcing from Chinese steel exporters.
Project Background
The project is located in Bac Ninh Industrial Park, Vietnam, and involves the construction of a new steel structure factory for an electronics manufacturing facility.
The project scope includes:
Main structural steel platforms
Equipment support beams
Industrial walkways
Load-bearing structural components
Due to the installation of automated production equipment inside the facility, strict requirements were placed on:
Plate flatness
Welding compatibility
Dimensional consistency
The construction schedule was tight, requiring support for:
Split shipments
Fixed-size cutting
CNC flame cutting processing

Challenge 1: Steel Plate Flatness for Automated Installation
Issue
The customer required high flatness consistency due to:
Automated welding systems
Structural beam assembly
Laser positioning installation
Previous suppliers had issues such as:
Plate warping
Edge deformation
Uneven welding gaps
Which affected on-site installation efficiency.
Solution
During production, additional controls were implemented:
Secondary leveling process
Plate straightening treatment
Random dimensional inspection
Key parameters controlled:
Flatness tolerance
Width deviation
Diagonal accuracy
For 12-meter plates, reinforced lifting support was applied during handling and transportation to reduce deformation risk.
Challenge 2: Rainy Season Shipping and Moisture Protection
Issue
During the shipment period, Southeast Asia was in the rainy season. The customer was concerned about:
Container humidity
Surface oxidation
Condensation inside containers
Solution
Enhanced export packaging was applied:
Waterproof plastic wrapping
Desiccants inside containers
Wooden base separation structure
Edge protection for steel bundles
Rubber isolation pads were added under steel plates to reduce friction during transport.
Challenge 3: Accelerated Construction Schedule
Issue
The construction site required earlier delivery due to accelerated installation progress, including:
Priority shipment of first batch materials
Partial size pre-cutting
Split delivery scheduling
Solution
A phased production and shipment strategy was implemented:
Batch-based production planning
Split container loading
Staggered export declaration
Priority was given to:
10 mm steel plates
Standard structural sizes
to support early-stage installation work.
On-Site Application Results
The supplied ASTM A36 hot rolled steel plates were used in:
Industrial factory structural frames
Equipment platforms
Logistics walkway systems
Load-bearing structural components
During fabrication, the material demonstrated:
Good welding compatibility
Stable dimensional consistency
Reliable CNC cutting performance
Suitable structural load-bearing capability
After project completion, the customer placed additional orders for:
H-beams
Checkered steel plates
Galvanized steel coils
Market Trend: Structural Steel Demand in Southeast Asia
Countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia continue to expand industrial infrastructure, driving demand for:
Hot rolled structural steel plates
Fabrication-grade steel materials
CNC cut-to-size steel components
Key procurement requirements in the region include:
Stable delivery schedules
Dimensional consistency
Export packaging reliability
Large-volume supply capability
