Steel Building for Ethiopian Client Visit

Welcome Ethiopian Clients to Visit Dorian Factory and Discuss Project Details

Project Dimensions: 40*60*6 meters

Project Location: Ethiopia

Project Function: Steel structure warehouse for sesame storage and production workshops

This client holds dual Ethiopian and American citizenship and frequently travels between the two countries. He primarily engages in cross-border trade of sesame and coffee beans, and also sources goods from China for export. This is his fourth visit to China.

What makes this collaboration special is its origin—the client was not found through Facebook or Alibaba platforms, but rather through a referral from an Ethiopian business partner to whom Dorian had previously provided a quote. The client contacted us via WhatsApp on April 18, 2026, and he propose that he plans to make a month-long visit to China soon, mainly to visit several factories in China, including Dorian.

The client initially inquired about a 20*60*6 meter warehouse project for sesame storage and production. On April 25, Dorian submitted a quote and preliminary design drawings. The design was conventional portal frame structure, with no special requirements.

After visiting other factories in Qingdao for three days, the client arrived at Luoyang Longmen Station on the afternoon of April 26th. The Dorian team, greeted the client at the station and arranged hotel accommodations. That evening, the team had initial discussions with the client to understand their background and needs, after which the client was allowed to rest and adjust to the time difference.

The following morning, Dorian accompanied the client on a factory tour. The production lines were operating at full capacity, with multiple projects in production or already packaged and ready for shipment. This provided an excellent opportunity to showcase materials and processes—from the main steel frame and secondary frames to the purlin, bracing, and panel systems. The client listened attentively throughout the tour and witnessed firsthand the exquisite manufacturing processes.

1. Drainage system modification: The client proposed replacing the galvanized gutters with color-coated steel channels to reduce costs. We explained in detail the significant drawbacks of colored panel gutters — thickness is typically only 0.5-0.6 mm, while Dorian's standard galvanized Gutters are 2.0 mm thick. Galvanized gutters offer superior corrosion resistance and structural strength, able to withstand prolonged rainwater erosion without deformation or leakage. In contrast, colored panel gutters are prone to coating aging and rusting in continuously humid environments, ultimately leading to leaks. After careful consideration of budget constraints, the client ultimately decided to completely eliminate the gutters system and purchase and install gutters locally.

Window Specification Adjustment: The original quotation used aluminum alloy windows, but the client requested UPVC windows due to budget constraints. Furthermore, the client requested changes to the window locations and quantities, and the addition of several industrial ventilation fans. Dorian's technical team completed a revised layout drawing on-site. The client checked the updated plan and indicated that they would further confirm it with the team.

Ethiopian clients discussing project details at Dorian factory for steel structures. — On the fourth day, the client made a crucial decision—he requested to upgrade the project size from the initial 20*60*6 meters to 40*60*6 meters, confirming that the original quote would apply(This quote is the one we sent to his friend before). After discussing with Dorian’s team, he determined that the 40*60 meter option offered better value for money, with only a slight increase in cost. Dorian had initially prepared this larger plan for his referrer in July 2025.

Ethiopian clients discussing project details with factory representative. — Dorian also assisted the client in arranging a visit to a well-known local tractor factory, providing translation and communication support during the visit. On the sixth day, Dorian accompanied the client to Luoyang High-Speed Railway Station so he could continue his journey to Zhengzhou and Guangdong.

Although time was limited and they were unable to visit Luoyang's cultural attractions, the client expressed great satisfaction with Dorian's professionalism and factory capabilities. Upon returning home, the client proactively contacted Dorian to request a plan for the new project—a testament to the trust established during the visit. The new plan is currently under development and is expected to be completed next week.

If you have any steel structure project needs, please contact Dorian immediately for a free custom design plan. Dorian offers a one-stop, full-service solution—from design and manufacturing to delivery and construction—to meet your specific needs.

The client was Indonesian and immigrated to the America for many years. He also have his own factory in Indonesia and America, which are mainly used for producing kinds of glass. He inquired the steel structure project to Dorian in May 2024, and came to visit the factory in June 2024 after received the Dorian’s solution, the project will be used for storing glass and working office.

The solution has been updated many times since Dorian received the inquiry. Because the project will be located in USA, all the details need to comply with the local regulations, plus the high import tax and building approval issue, it proceed slowly than what we expected. This time, the client arranged his engineer team to Dorian factory to discuss the complete modification details face to face and plan to order within April 2026.

Dorian team picked the client’s architects up in the Zhengzhou East Railway station in the evening of March 17th, 2026 and dropped them off the hotel after dinner. In the morning of the second day, Dorian took architects to visit the factory, the production process of steel columns and steel beams of main steel frame and secondary frame, including the purline, tie bar, roof and wall support etc have been visited, the architects are highly approves of the product quality. By the way, the delivery process also been shown to the engineers, Dorian adopt the steel pallets to make all of the goods into together as one unit inside of each container, which can keep the balance to avoid the breakage of goods. Furthermore, it can also be unloaded more conveniently and quickly, it only use the truck crane with the steel rope to pull the steel pallets out is done after hoisting the containers from truck and place it to the ground.

After finishing the visiting for the production workshop. Dorian and engineers started to discuss the project details in the office, there are some points need to be modified, the irregular big door was required to change into the regular door, the height at the eave from the 10.8m changed into 10.5m, the length and width means the distance between the outside panels to outside panels, and the most importantly, the wind load and mezzanine load were also changed in to heavier than previous one. All of this modifcation would result to the big difference in the cost after calculated by Dorian engineer, the client engineer also know this situation. Then Dorian engineer set out to modify the drawing start from the afternoon.

Welcome Bulgaria Clients to Visit Dorian Factory and Discuss Project Details

Project dimension: 22*55*7m

Project location: Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Project function: paper cup manufacturing factory

On January 29, 2026, Dorian was honored to host a distinguished client from Plovdiv, Bulgaria, at Dorian’s factory in Luoyang, China. Before that, having held two meetings with the client in Bulgaria in 2025, Dorian provided a project plan and quotation for a 22-meter, 90-meter long, and 7-meter high single slope structure with rock wool sandwich panels . At the client's invitation, the Dorian team also visited the client's project site and company. During the conversation, the client mentioned that they were awaiting local building approvals before proceeding with the project.

In early January, the client said the approval had been received and they wanted to visit the factory. Dorian team was on hand to greet the client and his father, escorting them directly from their journey to a carefully selected local restaurant for a welcoming lunch. During the meal, we discovered that it was the client's birthday. To make the occasion special, Dorian team arranged a surprise birthday celebration. The client was both surprised and deeply moved by the gesture, which set a positive and friendly tone for the business discussions to follow.

The afternoon was dedicated to showcasing the tangible evidence of capabilities. The clients walked through production lines, observing firsthand the quality of workmanship, the precision of fabrication processes, and the advanced technology Dorian employ in every project. They examined raw materials, inspected weld quality, and discussed quality control protocols with engineers. This transparency allowed them to witness the rigor and attention to detail that define a Dorian structure.

Steel building manufacturing process with workers inspecting steel components inside a factory.

After the tour, Dorian convened in the conference room for a detailed project discussion meeting. Dorian delved into the specific requirements for the Plovdiv site. At this meeting, the client mentioned that they had only obtained a building permit for 1200 square meters, so the factory dimensions were revised to 22 meters wide, 55 meters long, and 7 meters high.

Furthermore, after confirming the project dimensions, discussing project specifications, anticipated timelines, logistical considerations for shipping, and the unique technical requirements for constructing in the Bulgarian climate and regulatory environment. Because Bulgaria experiences heavy snowfall and low temperatures, thick insulation sandwich panels are required. In addition, PU-sealed rock wool panels were selected for the better thermal insulation performance and building's aesthetics.

This project will serve as the client's main warehouse for paper products and will be gradually expanded.Based on the client's needs, the Dorian engineering team designed a preliminary plan on-site, presented it to the client, and answered all questions regarding the drawings, ensuring complete alignment between both parties on the project scope and objectives. The dialogue was productive and collaborative, reflecting a shared vision for the project's success.

The client was very satisfied with Dorian's proposal, but he want to compare the price differences between different thicknesses, therefore, the client requested Dorian to provide three different price ranges and quotations for their reference, using50mm, 75mm, and 100mm thick PU-sealed rock wool panels.

Modern indoor meeting with diverse professionals discussing business strategies.

The following day, we led clients on a tour of Dorian’s local project, a steel furniture industrial park. The industrial zone spans 3,300 acres, which includes five five-story workshop buildings, showcasing Dorian’s corporate strength. They walked through the workshops, examining the innovative design of the buildings, the structural integrity of the multi-story frames, and the seamless integration of functional spaces. The clients were visibly impressed, praising the project as a testament to Dorian's unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. They commented that seeing such a large-scale, successful project provided them with immense confidence in Dorian’s ability to deliver on their factory in Plovdiv.

Currently, Dorian dedicated engineering team is diligently working on the detailed proposal drawings for the this project. Dorian are incorporating all the feedback and specific requirements discussed during the visit to ensure the final design is perfectly tailored to the client's needs. Dorian promptly submitted the three proposals and corresponding quotes to the client within three days following the client's return to Bulgaria. Currently, Dorian are awaiting feedback and anticipate visible progress and the next steps to unfold this year.
