Export of 601 tons of wood grain aluminum coils to Malta

Wanzhi Steel has successfully explored the Maltese market. 601 tons of wood grain aluminum coil arrived at the port of Malta 43 days after shipment.

Client Background

Malta is an island country in the Mediterranean region with a rapidly developing construction industry. In recent years, Malta’s demand for building decoration materials has been increasing, especially for products that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical. The client is from a local construction company for high-end residential and commercial facade decoration. The contract for 601 tons was signed once both parties confirmed the product specification, price (CIF price), and delivery time, and the customer requested to send it out in 3 shipments.

Challenges and Solutions

1. Color Consistency: The color and texture of wood grain aluminum coils require a high degree of consistency.Wanzhi Steel ensures the consistency of the product through strict production control and batch management.
2. Transportation protection: Aluminum coils are susceptible to crushing and scratching during transportation. The use of wooden box packaging and internal filling of cushioning material effectively protects the product.
3. Customs clearance efficiency: Communicate with the Malta agent in advance to ensure all documents are complete to avoid customs clearance delay.

Why choose wood grain aluminum coil?

1. Light weight, aluminum itself is lighter than steel, and easy to carry and install. Aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3 while steel has a density of 7.8 g/cm3.
2. Although aluminum is more expensive than steel, it is more resistant to corrosion and has better thermal and electrical conductivity than steel.
3. has higher ductility than most construction metals and can be molded into complex designs.
