"We-Engineer for CHINA"

Materials are Different in China; we engineer the correct equivalent
- Steel, 50% of the Strength of the USA
- USA Gauge Metal not available, 14 Gauge ≈1.897mm, in China… you will be force-fed 1.8 to 1.5, not 1.9-2mm
Drawing Notes/Terms are not apparent when directly translated; we add more detail.
American Processes/Standards here are unknown or unavailable in China; we specify clearly in Chinese.
We will redesign Box Builds, Partial assembly to save shipping/assembly costs.
Compactness for shipping, Bulky fabricated designs redesigned for a smaller footprint (shipping volume $s) for shipping but easily assembled upon arrival
We might have to split into two factories for cost savings but consolidate for shipping

Entrepreneur services from concept to delivery to distribution
