A Romanian client is procuring galvanized steel coils and galvanized steel strips, with 475 tons of galvanized steel coils and 200 tons of galvanized steel strips. This Romanian client is engaged in the manufacturing of construction and light industrial products and has high requirements for the corrosion resistance, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy of the galvanized steel coils.
Following in-depth discussions and repeated confirmations, including the mailing of samples and factory visits arranged through an agent, the client ultimately selected our company as the supplier. The total purchase volume reached 675 tons, covering two major product categories: galvanized steel coils and galvanized steel strips. These products are primarily used in the production of warehouse shelving, electrical junction boxes, and structural components.

Customer Requirements and Our Implementation Plan
Since the order involved as many as seven different specifications and included strict non-standard requirements for coil weight, inner diameter, and surface treatment, our international trade team and technical department responded promptly upon receiving the inquiry. In response to the customer’s core requirements of “DX51D structural steel + Z275 high-zinc coating + fine zinc bloom,” we developed a customized solution:
Product Process
We strictly adhere to the European standard EN 10346 and select high-quality DX51D base steel. We apply a professional chromate coating to the product surface to further enhance the zinc layer’s corrosion resistance and wear resistance; simultaneously, we strictly enforce the “oil-free” requirement to prevent oil contamination from affecting the client’s subsequent processing and use.
Coil Diameter and Weight Control
For various thicknesses ranging from 0.5 mm to 1.1 mm, as well as three widths—1500 mm, 1250 mm, and 137 mm—we utilize specialized slitting equipment (for narrow widths) to ensure consistency in coil weight and inner diameter, facilitating subsequent loading, unloading, and production operations for our customers.
Quality Inspection Standards
Prior to shipment, we use specialized testing equipment to conduct comprehensive quality inspections on every batch of products, including zinc coating thickness measurement, surface quality inspection, dimensional accuracy measurement, and mechanical property testing. We ensure that the zinc coating thickness complies with the Z275 standard, the surface is free of defects such as scratches and rust, and dimensional tolerances remain within acceptable limits.Why Customers Choose to Partner with Us

Shipping and Delivery
Given Romania’s geographical location, the terms of this trade were set as CIF. Through our long-standing shipping partner, we arranged a direct shipping route to the Port of Constanta, Romania’s largest deep-water port.
Customer Inspection
After we completed production, the customer commissioned an agent to conduct an inspection of the products at our factory, covering various aspects such as dimensional specifications, zinc coating, and mechanical properties.
Customer Feedback
After the goods arrived at the Port of Constanta, the customer provided the following feedback following use: “The yield strength and zinc coating adhesion of this batch of materials far exceeded our expectations. In particular, the 0.5 x 137 mm narrow strip did not experience any jamming on the high-speed stamping line, significantly improving our production efficiency. Not only did you resolve the challenges of purchasing multiple specifications, but the CIF door-to-port service also made the process very hassle-free for us.”
