With its economic success, China has increased constructions nationwide, promoting its infrastructure to the next level – completing the Qingzang Railway that’s connecting China Proper with Tibet, building Hangzhou Bay Bridge that connects the two busiest ports (Shanghai and Ningbo) are just a number of examples. China had also invested 350 billion Yuan (43 billion USD at the time it was invested) in 2003 in highway construction; by the end of 2004, the total length of highways open to traffic reached 1.871 million km, including 34,300 km of expressways up to advanced modern transportation standard, ranking second in the world. These highways will stretch further into inland China than just its coastal regions, improving its connections with its less developed regions, creating more economic opportunities.

Part of 889 Global Solutions’ consulting services includes identifying the right material for your product. We receive requests from our customers asking for recommendations of the ideal material that can be used for their products. Our manufacturers in China have vast working knowledge of materials and professional engineering backgrounds. In order to determine the right material, we ask our customers the applications of their products, the environments and conditions in which the products are used, etc. Then we provide a list of options to our customers, detailing each material’s characteristics, pros and cons. This service has helped our customers decide which materials are to be used for their products, and sometimes even improve their original engineering design.

Many manufacturers in China are confusing material identities by branding their domestically produced materials with names established by other standards. AISI 201, for example, is a type of stainless steel, of which standard is established by AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute), which requires a minimum Nickel content of 3.5% by weight. Many Chinese manufacturers have applied the same name to lower grade stainless steel; misleading buyers into purchasing lower quality products while seemingly saving them money. 889 Global Solutions Ltd. has been requiring material data reports from the manufacturers prior to each purchase order, clearly identifying chemical compounds of the material. Besides getting material certificates from the manufacturer, we also withdraw samples from the production line during our standard product inspections and send the pieces to a third party testing lab for chemical compound analysis to ensure product quality.
