Manufacturing capabilities
From machine park to material certificate.
We identify, qualify and evaluate Chinese manufacturing capabilities for European industrial SMEs. Each of the ten areas below has a full deep-dive page in the German version of this site — applications, materials and standards, machine-park requirements, quality documentation, regional clusters, cost levers and typical mistakes.
01
CNC Machining
Turning, milling and drilling of drawing-based parts — from one-offs to series, including tight-tolerance machining. Deep-dive: tolerances IT6–IT8, KMG inspection culture, Jiangsu/Zhejiang/Guangdong clusters.
Deep-dive (DE) →02
Castings
Grey and ductile iron, steel and aluminium castings including pattern making, melt-shop supervision and machining. Deep-dive: melt protocols, CBAM relevance, foundry clusters.
Deep-dive (DE) →03
Forgings
Open-die and closed-die steel forgings — including heat treatment and finish machining. Deep-dive: UT per EN 10228, hardening documentation, heavy-forge capacity.
Deep-dive (DE) →04
Steel Products
Pipes, plates, bar stock and structural steel components — including cutting, welded assemblies and surfaces. Deep-dive: EN 1090 logic, welding documentation, CBAM.
Deep-dive (DE) →05
Pipes & Piping Components
Seamless and welded pipes, elbows, tees and reducers for plant and apparatus engineering. Deep-dive: EN 10216/10253 vs. ASME B16.9, hydro/UT protocols, wall-thickness discipline.
Deep-dive (DE) →06
Flanges
Custom and standard flanges with EN 10204 material certificates — forged, rolled or plate-cut. Deep-dive: EN 1092-1 vs. ASME B16.5, heat traceability, set-sourcing.
Deep-dive (DE) →07
Valves
Industrial valves for process and utility plants — cast or forged, tested and documented. Deep-dive: PED/CE logic, EN 12266 testing, identifying assembly-only workshops.
Deep-dive (DE) →08
Fasteners
Bolts, nuts and studs in industrial quality — high-strength, high-volume, with full batch documentation. Deep-dive: EN ISO 898 classes, counterfeiting protection, hydrogen bake.
Deep-dive (DE) →09
Instrumentation
Sensors, transmitters, controllers and analysers — calibrated, documented, sourced from the right specialist. Deep-dive: calibration chains, ATEX documentation, OEM vs. brand logic.
Deep-dive (DE) →10
Custom Drawn Parts
Customer drawings of any complexity: from a single finished part to complete assemblies — identified, qualified, procured. Deep-dive: feasibility honesty, IP protection, reverse engineering.
Deep-dive (DE) →The pattern from practice
Capacity is everywhere in China. Competence — the factory that produces your drawing at the required level, documented — has to be identified, visited and evaluated. That is the entire business of this platform.
