Zhucheng Longqiang Fastener Co., Ltd. told China Fastener Info that they had introduced four machines for making stainless steel bolts, which can further complete the specification range of stainless steel bolts. Today, Longqiang can offer high-strength bolts, steel structural bolts, hex bolts, hex socket bolts, anchor bolts, double-end bolts, U-bolts, bolts for electric power steel tower, and various bolts applied to oil pipelines. Mr. Yang, Manager of Longqiang says, "With an aim of expanding our market in North America, we introduce new equipment to increase our product range."

Founded in 1982, Longqiang is situated in "land of dinosaurs"—Zhucheng of Shandong Province. It occupies an area of 33000 square meters and the floor space of 125000 square meters. Now the company has more than 300 employees, and over 80 of them are technicians. Its annual output comes to 30 million yuan and 70% of its products are exported to North America and Europe.

"We focus a lot on network promotion. We finally chose China Fastener Info after comparison because it can prevent us from blindly looking for customers," says Yang, "Besides, we also explore our foreign customers by exhibiting in international shows. Every year, we attend some of the famous shows in the world, like the Koelnmesse, Las Vegas Show and Russian Fasttec Fair. Last year, we took part in Las Vegas Show. More then 50 overseas buyers have been keeping in touch with us and 20% of them show interests in buying our products. An order worth more than 1 million yuan was recently placed by a Californian customer who was developed last year."

Yang continues, "Whatever for export or domestic market, first of all we should assure the quality of the products. We take great advantage in making large bolts of more than grade 6.8; secondly, price. As the materials go up this year, our product prices also increase. If our customers have laded a ship in Qingdao, we can help them to deliver the goods to the ship. And when contacting the overseas customers, especially those from North America, we have to talk with them patiently. The process might be complicated though, once the cooperation is successfully established, they turn to be your loyal customers."
