A trading house inside the Anping metal sheet cluster
Anping has punched and expanded sheet long enough that the dies, the galvanizers and the trucks to Tianjin are all within an hour of each other. We work with that supply base under one inspection routine, and quote only what the lines can actually hold.
A turret punch press mid-run. Works are partners; measurement and inspection sit with us.
Where we sit
Anping County, in Hengshui, Hebei, is the densest metal mesh supply base in China: punching, expanding, welding, wire drawing and hot-dip galvanizing all sit inside one county, with Tianjin Xingang a day's truck run away and Qingdao and Shanghai behind it.
That matters to a buyer for one reason: a specification can be held to because the process steps are close enough to be visited and re-checked. We quote from the works that can meet the tolerance on the drawing, not from the one with the lowest price this week.
We are a trading and inspection operation: production is run by partner works, and measurement, paperwork and loading supervision sit with us. That is a different offer from a factory direct sale, and worth knowing before you compare prices.
What we will not do
Quote a coating the galvanizer cannot verify
If the certificate cannot state grams per square metre, the number does not go in the quotation.
Accept a tolerance the tooling cannot hold
A tighter aperture than the line can run is a promise someone else will break. We say no before the deposit, not after.
Ship without a loading photograph
Container number, seal number and the loaded stow are sent before the vessel sails, every shipment.
Call a sample a specification
A sample shows the finish. The certificate and the inspection report show the product.
How an order runs
Inquiry and spec sheet
Six numbers, a drawing or a photo. We come back with open area, weight per square metre, price and lead time — and the questions the drawing did not answer.
Sample or drawing approval
Stock patterns ship from stock samples. Custom dies, finishes and formed parts are approved on a sample panel before the line starts.
Production and in-line checks
Hole, mesh, strand width, thickness and panel size are measured during the run, not only at the end.
Pre-shipment inspection
Third-party inspection on request — SGS, BV or the buyer's own agent. Container loading photographs come as standard.
Documents and loading
Invoice, packing list, bill of lading, material certificate, certificate of origin (CO, Form E for ASEAN, Form F for Chile). Fumigated crates carry the ISPM 15 mark.
Documents we issue
Standard export paperwork, plus whatever the destination customs authority asks for.
Commercial invoice and packing list
Per container, with the weight and the number of sheets or panels on each line.
Material certificate
Alloy and temper for aluminium; steel grade, thickness and coating weight for galvanized sheet.
Certificate of origin
CO, Form E for ASEAN destinations, Form F for Chile.
Third-party inspection
SGS, BV, TUV or the buyer's nominated agent, arranged before loading on request.
Fumigation and ISPM 15
Wooden crates and pallets carry the ISPM 15 mark; phytosanitary paperwork on request.
Loading photographs
Container number, seal and the loaded stow, sent before the vessel sails.
