Project Owner: A Chinese copper industry group
Challenges:
The group’s core business includes international mineral resource exploitation. Most mining plant equipment is sourced domestically before being imported to overseas project sites. The client has well-established domestic procurement channels and an existing stable supplier for on-site lighting fixtures, while our brand WAROM had limited prior exposure with the client.
The client undertakes extensive import and export businesses with rigorous, standardized internal inspection and shipment procedures, creating high entry barriers for project execution.
3.Our Solution
In June 2025, the client’s procurement manager visited Shanghai for inspection at other suppliers. We extended an invitation for the manager and his team to tour our factory, introducing our production processes and quality assurance system with detailed technical elaborations. The procurement team highly recognized our manufacturing capacity and technical proficiency after the site visit.
In September 2025, the first batch of lighting fixtures was completed for production. The client conducted strict on-site quality inspection at our premises and fully approved our product quality. The client subsequently held a shipment coordination meeting to specify stringent delivery requirements. We strictly complied with all stipulated terms and completed on-time delivery with guaranteed quantity and quality.
