Post-Expo Report: What Clients Care Most About in Aluminum Strip Products

After returning from recent international trade fairs in Dubai and Jakarta, our export team gained valuable feedback from dozens of global buyers. Here we summarize the top concerns clients had regarding aluminum strip products—especially for transformer and electrical applications.

Slitting Precision and Tolerance

Buyers frequently asked about slitting accuracy and edge quality. They emphasized the need for ±0.2 mm tolerance and burr-free edges to ensure smooth winding and machine compatibility. We showcased samples and shared our real-time laser inspection system to assure them of quality consistency.

 Electrical Conductivity

For many clients, especially those producing oil-immersed or dry-type transformers, conductivity over 61% IACS is non-negotiable. Our 1060, 1070, and 1350 aluminum strips met their technical specs, and we provided certified lab test reports on-site.

 Packaging and Coil Handling

Packaging was another hot topic. Customers wanted to avoid deformation and surface scratches during transport. We introduced our waterproof wrapping + edge protector + pallet reinforcement solutions—key factors for exporters shipping long distances.

 MOQ and Lead Time

Small to mid-size buyers asked if we support low MOQ and fast delivery. We confirmed that trial orders are welcome from 1 ton up, and our regular production lead time is 7–15 working days. This flexibility is vital for new markets and distributors.

Certifications and Standards

Clients from Southeast Asia and the Middle East were keen on international standards like ASTM B209, ISO 9001, and IEC compliance for electrical use. We showed our documentation and offered to provide customized certifications if needed.

 Alloy Choice

Many buyers were unsure which alloy—1050, 1060, 1070, or 1350—best suits their transformer design. Our engineers explained the differences in conductivity, cost, and mechanical strength, helping them make informed decisions.
