Coil and plate feedstock, aluminum, metal products and hardware for fabricators and processors — exported directly from China to India and other overseas markets.

The industry

Feedstock for cutting, forming and welding

Fabricators cut, bend, roll and weld metal into finished parts and structures. Their main inputs are hot-rolled and cold-rolled coil — often slit or cut to length — together with aluminum sheet, metal products and hardware for assembly.

Practical details matter: coil weight, inside diameter, edge condition and surface all affect how material runs on a shop's equipment. Including them in the enquiry helps avoid handling problems on arrival.
