Recently, GDD Steel successfully completed the production and shipment of an order of hot-dip galvanized steel coils for a customer in Saudi Arabia. A total of 420 tons of galvanized steel coils passed final inspection at the company’s warehouse center and were officially loaded into containers for export. The cargo will be shipped from Qingdao Port to Dammam Port, Saudi Arabia, where it will be used in local industrial equipment manufacturing and steel structure construction projects.
The products in this order cover thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 1.5mm, with zinc coating specifications from Z120 to Z275. Throughout the entire production process, GDD Steel strictly followed the customer’s technical requirements to ensure that surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and coating uniformity fully met project specifications.
Upon receiving the order, the company’s production, quality control, and logistics teams worked closely together to develop a dedicated production schedule and optimize manufacturing arrangements, ensuring that the customer’s project timeline would not be affected.
Before shipment, quality inspectors carefully verified the labels, dimensions, and packaging condition of every steel coil. Each coil underwent a comprehensive inspection process, including thickness measurement, zinc coating testing, visual surface inspection, and packaging integrity verification. Coil numbers, specifications, weights, and order details were checked one by one to ensure complete consistency between the shipped products and customer requirements.
“Our export orders represent not only product delivery but also the reputation of our company,” said the Quality Control Manager. “Every steel coil must pass strict inspection standards before leaving our facility. We do not allow any defective products to reach overseas customers.”
Considering the heavy weight of each steel coil, the warehouse team prepared a detailed container loading plan in advance. Container weight distribution and cargo positioning were carefully designed to ensure transportation safety and maximize loading efficiency. At the loading site, workers strictly followed export packing standards, maintaining smooth coordination from lifting operations to container stuffing to ensure a safe and efficient loading process.
To prevent cargo movement during ocean transportation, professional securing devices and anti-slip measures were applied to each steel coil. Given the relatively long shipping period to the Middle East, the cargo was protected with multiple packaging solutions, including moisture-proof paper, anti-rust film, and metal edge protectors. Additional wooden supports and lashing systems were installed inside the containers to minimize risks caused by vibration, impact, and humid marine environments.
“Our logistics team follows export transportation standards at every stage, from product packaging to container securing, ensuring that the cargo arrives safely at the customer’s site,” said the Logistics Manager.
After a full day of organized loading operations, all 420 tons of galvanized steel coils were successfully dispatched. Following cargo inspection, the customer’s project manager expressed high satisfaction with GDD Steel’s product quality, packaging standards, and delivery efficiency, and indicated interest in expanding future cooperation in products such as pre-painted galvanized steel coils (PPGI) and aluminum-zinc coated steel coils (Galvalume).
In recent years, the Middle East market has experienced continuous growth in infrastructure development, industrial park construction, and manufacturing investment, driving increasing demand for high-quality steel products. As a professional steel export supplier, GDD Steel continues to provide global customers with a wide range of steel solutions, including galvanized steel coils, pre-painted steel coils, cold-rolled steel coils, Galvalume steel coils, and tinplate products.
Looking ahead, GDD Steel will continue to optimize its supply chain management and international service capabilities. Through consistent product quality and reliable delivery performance, the company remains committed to creating greater value for customers worldwide and further strengthening the reputation of Chinese manufacturing in the global marketplace.
