Why choose Dragon Metal for your Offshore Metal Fabrication Project?

China continues to march forward in dozens of industries, with metal fabrication championing the charge. With the support of their government, China has become a frontrunner in the metal fabrication business.

When choosing to complete your metal fabrication project offshore, Dragon Metal isn’t just recommended, it’s game-changing. Below are 3 of the biggest reasons offshore metal fabrication is right for your business:

 

Massive Reduction of Costs

As stated above, materials, labour, processes, and shipping are all considerably more affordable when completed offshore. Many are unaware that shipping large projects from mainland China to an Australian capital city is cheaper than transport via truck between Australian Capitals.

For example, a shipment from Shanghai to Melbourne in a 40-foot container is likely to be cheaper than moving a project of the same size from Sydney to Melbourne via truck.

Combine this with massively cheaper bulk processes such as surface treatment, assembly, labour and sourcing materials and you can be saving enormous amounts of capital that can be invested more strategically into other aspects of your project. Our clients report up to 40% savings when they choose to complete their metal fabrication projects offshore.

 

Dedicated Offshore Success Manager

When you choose to complete your metal fabrication project offshore, you will have your very own Dedicated Offshore Success Manager who represents your project from start to finish. Ensuring that your offshore metal manufacturing project runs seamlessly is their modus operandi, and they are there every step of the way—from project quotation up to delivery and beyond.

 

Increased Capacity Where it Counts

Managing large projects efficiently can save immeasurable amounts of time and money. When you decide to complete your metal fabrication project offshore, it allows you to reinvest your valuable time into other aspects of your project or business that can’t be outsourced safely. Once you have used our services once, and you have been able to invest your attention elsewhere with 100% confidence that Dragon Metal has you covered, we are certain that you will want to have Dragon Metal as an integrated partner in your production cycle.

 

Can you offer a quality guarantee on my offshore Metal Fabrication Project?

Absolutely.

At Dragon Metal, we are so confident of our offshore metal fabrication processes that we offer 100% satisfaction guarantee on all products received. We have 30 years of experience sourcing, manufacturing and working alongside the best metal fabrication factories in China—and with quality assurance procedures every step of the way, nothing slips through the cracks.

If you aren’t 100% satisfied with our offshore metal fabrication services we offer various options to rectify any possible issues, either in terms of replacements, reworking or refunds.

 

Is my offshore Metal Fabrication Project’s IP safe?

Much like here on Australian shores, your IP is protected by confidentiality agreements and therefore, law. All of our offshore metal fabrication partners and teams are vetted and have decades of abiding by such agreements behind them. In all our years of operation, we have never had a breach of a clients’ IP rights.

 

Do larger offshore Metal Fabrication projects get discounted?

Depending on the scope of your project—yes larger offshore metal fabrication projects may be subject to further discounts on top of the standard economies of scale. Dragon Metal always looks at projects in a holistic manner and works with each customer to build up production in the most efficient way possible. Many of our customers like to schedule monthly meetings with us to discuss their forecasts and Metal Fabrication projects and consider us an integral part of their development and production team.

 

Can I visit your offshore facilities where my Project will be completed?

Yes. In fact, Dragon Metal encourages our clients to visit our offshore metal fabrication facilities for every new project, especially during the sample approval stage. This makes it possible to reduce time to market while also offering our customers complete transparency and visibility of the manufacturing processes. Once our clients see the quality of tradesmanship and professionalism of the work environments offshore they find it hard to justify using Australian manufacturers for their future projects.

 

Much like in many other industries, rapid globalization is increasing the quality and efficiency of work by redistributing to countries that have more affordable processes. For years, cheaper has been associated with lower quality. At Dragon Metal, we believe that when you visit our offshore facilities where your metal fabrication project is being completed you will see how far this is from the truth.

 

Are Dragon Metal’s offshore facilities of Australian standard?

All Dragon Metal offshore facilities where your metal fabrication projects are manufactured have been vetted and work to ISO:9001 standards. With modern facilities, state-of-the-art technology and innovative processes, offshore facilities meet, if not exceed Australian standards. You’ll be amazed at how far China’s come in the offshore metal fabrication industry as they continue to push the boundaries of what can be done with resources when managed professionally.

Furthermore, when special welding standards need to be met and documented, Dragon Metal is able to certify its welders to Australian standards through SGS in China.
