Distributors & stockists

Multi-material supply for distributors and stockholders who serve their own customers and markets — exported directly from China to India and other overseas markets.

The industry

A broad range from one export partner

Distributors and stockholders hold material for many end users, so they buy across categories and sizes. A multi-material supplier can combine steel coil, electrical steel, non-ferrous metals and components in fewer enquiries and shipments.

Requests usually list a range of sizes and grades with a quantity for each. Packaging, labelling and marking requirements can be stated in the RFQ and are confirmed per enquiry.
