Skid Sprayer Frame

The Challenge

Facing international trade uncertainty, a new U.S. client needed to shift their Skid Sprayer Frame production from China to Vietnam. The key requirement: establish a fully localized supply chain — sourcing all raw materials within Vietnam — to ensure complete insulation from tariff pressures and trade volatility.

1. Understanding the Customer's Requirement

After a comprehensive analysis of the customer's drawings, technical standards, and annual demand, we immediately began selecting a Vietnam factory. The key requirement was that this factory must provide an end-to-end local Vietnamese supply chain — from raw materials to finished goods — to fully address and eliminate tariff risks.

2. Vietnam Factory Visit & Capability Verification

Our Vietnam team visited several suppliers and finally selected one that met the customer's needs. During the on-site inspection, we checked:

• Production capacity for cutting, welding, and machining
• Fixture preparation and welding consistency
• Quality-control workflow and measurement tools
• Production stability and delivery capability

3. On-Site Process Follow-Up

Before samples were made, our team stayed in the factory to follow each production step closely — tube cutting, tube welding, and tube surface grinding — ensuring the factory could meet the customer's welding accuracy and dimensional requirements.

4. First Sample Batch & Inspection

Once the process was confirmed, the factory produced the first samples. We carried out full inspections on welding flatness & penetration, tube alignment & dimensions, hole distance & hole-diameter accuracy, and surface grinding & finish quality.

5. Mass Production & Shipment

With samples approved by the customer, the factory moved into mass production. All frames completed welding, grinding, QC checks, packing, and were ready for shipment.
