White Color-coated Steel Coil Export to Burundi Project

A building materials importer in Burundi purchased a batch of white color-coated coils (PE coating) from our company to meet the needs of local commercial buildings and residential housing. The materials were mainly used for roof and wall decoration. After undergoing strict quality control and professional packaging, the materials were successfully delivered to Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi, and have now been successfully applied in multiple construction projects in the region.

Customer background

Burundi, an inland country in East Africa, has strong ultraviolet radiation and a concentrated rainy season. The client is a large-scale building materials distributor in the region with a stable customer base. They found us through Google, toured our factory via video, and ultimately chose our PE white color-coated coils, hoping they would be suitable for the tropical highland climate.
