Sinosteel Group has reached strategic cooperation with Colombian customers: steel belt products help upgrade infrastructure in South America
Recently, a well-known steel foreign trade enterprise in China and a large industrial group in Colombia successfully signed a steel belt/galvanized belt/color coated belt product purchase agreement, marking a new stage of cooperation between the two sides in the field of metal material supply chain. The cooperation was led by Grace, the senior business manager of the company. The customer representative visited the Chinese factory in person and took photos with the team, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent deepening of cooperation.
Cooperation background: Deeply cultivate the South American market and grasp the strategic opportunities
Colombia, the third largest economy in South America (with the third largest GDP), has a high degree of industrialization and strong infrastructure needs. In recent years, the country has grown rapidly in construction, automobile manufacturing and energy, and its dependence on imports of high-end steel products has continued to increase. The Colombian customer of this cooperation is a well-known local industrial group, whose business covers building structure, equipment manufacturing and other fields, and has high requirements on the performance of corrosion-resistant materials such as galvanized tape and color coated tape.
Relying on the economic and trade cooperation opportunities between China and Colombia under the "Belt and Road" Initiative, Sinosteel has targeted target customers through precise market research and successfully opened the South American market by relying on product technology advantages.
Order whole process: professional service drives efficient cooperation
Demand Docking and Technology Confirmation (January 2025)
After the customer submits the inquiry through the company's official website, Grace, the business manager, responds immediately and has an in-depth understanding of the customer's needs through email, video conference and other means. Grace cooperated with the technical team to provide customized solutions for the special requirements of the hot and humid climate in Colombia. It recommended the use of double-sided coated aluminum zinc alloy steel strip (coating weight 275g/m²) and fingerprint resistant processing process, and attached with EN 10326, ASTM A653 and other international certification documents, which quickly won the trust of customers.
Sample testing and parameter optimization (March 2025)
After testing the tensile strength (≥320MPa) and elongation (≥18%) of the sample, the customer proposed to adjust the state of zinc flower. The company quickly adjusted the production line, increasing the proportion of polished zinc flower from 40% to 60%, and show real-time production data through video link to ensure transparency of technical details.
Factory inspection and Strategic signing (May 2025)
The customer representative will visit China in the third week of May, and the schedule will follow the international business investigation practice:
The first day: visit the automatic rolling workshop, focusing on the observation of galvanizing line temperature control accuracy (±2℃) and online detection system;
The next day: technical seminar to discuss color difference control (ΔE≤1.5) and environmental passivation process;
Signing ceremony: Both sides take a group photo in front of the production line, symbolizing the cooperation concept of "quality comes from manufacturing".
Product competitiveness: technical parameters and market suitability
This order covers three core products, all of which are certified by the Colombian NTC standard.
Customer evaluation: both quality and service recognition
The customer procurement director said at the signing ceremony: "Sinosteel not only provides top quality products that meet tropical climate standards, but also responds to the whole process much faster than local suppliers in South America. The professionalism of the Grace team and 24-hour multilingual support (English/Spanish) is impressive."
Future outlook: Jointly build the metal material supply chain between China and Colombia
This cooperation is not only a single order, but also the beginning of a long-term strategic partnership. The company plans to set up a regional warehousing center in Colombia, shorten the delivery cycle to less than 15 days, and develop customized deep processing services with local partners.
