On October 12, 2026, Ryan, Sales Manager, together with Engineers Shang and Peng from Dorian Company, departed for San Salvador, embarking on a two-month business trip to El Salvador. The objectives of this mission include resolving technical challenges for clients, providing after-sales services to existing partners, offering on-site assistance with installation works, conducting site surveys, and revising design schemes as required for projects.
While in San Salvador, the Dorian team paid a visit to Logística Panamericana. Dorian and Logística Panamericana have maintained a sound partnership over the past three years. Beyond client visits, after-sales follow-ups and incorporating customer feedback to optimize our fabrication processes, the two sides also discussed new demands for steel structure warehouses and next year’s cooperation plans. The communication was constructive and productive.
The team also visited Industrias Vértice S.A. de C.V. Earlier this year, the client purchased from Dorian a steel structure warehouse measuring approximately 3,000 m² with a height of around 10 m, which incorporates a second-floor office with a total area of nearly 3,000 square meters. A lift for the second floor was also supplied by our company. Our engineers provided on-site guidance to the client’s construction workers, covering civil works, foundation construction, precise connection of steel columns and beams, installation of roof and wall panels, fitting of ancillary components, as well as key precautions for bolted connections. This support aims to help the client complete installation safely and efficiently.
The Dorian team also paid a visit to Energía del Istmo S.A. de C.V., a powerful local energy equipment supplier in El Salvador with the slogan “Tu respaldo en energía”. The company specializes in the sales of diesel generators and related energy equipment across the region. We presented our proposal for a 20m × 50m × 7m steel structure warehouse equipped with a 5-ton overhead crane. This building is designed into two separate zones: the front section is a two-story office area, while the rear section serves as storage space for their diesel generators. A loading dock lift platform will be installed at the warehouse entrance, a popular option among our clients to facilitate container loading and unloading operations. The two sides exchanged in-depth views on steel structure projects for power-related facilities. We introduced our solutions for industrial warehouses and power plant auxiliary buildings, and discussed potential cooperation opportunities. The meeting laid a solid foundation for future collaboration.
The team then visited the warehouse of AB InBev El Salvador. This Budweiser warehouse in El Salvador has been in operation for more than 20 years, and the client is now carrying out an expansion project. The expansion work involves drainage and foundation design for the existing warehouse, shared steel columns and beams between the new and old structures, partial demolition of the original building including wall panels, as well as maintenance and structural reinforcement of the existing facility. The extension design also needs to reserve adequate storage space and truck access zones, with full consideration given to ventilation and drainage requirements. The Dorian team completed on-site dimension measurement and structural survey of the old building. We will prepare the design and quotation for this extension project after returning, and provide on-site installation guidance for the client at a later stage.
The team traveled to another major city in El Salvador to visit Grupo Campo Verde. This highly renowned Salvadoran enterprise boasts a large scale with a nationwide network of restaurants across the country, running a full industrial chain covering broiler breeding, slaughtering, cold storage, as well as subsequent food processing and catering. We discussed customized solutions for their breeding farms, cold storage facilities and storage warehouses. In addition, we exchanged ideas on the design of steel-framed restaurants for Avícola Valle Verde S.A. de C.V., together with the design and construction plan for the group’s five-story steel structure hotel.
The Dorian team also visited Panadería La Montaña S.A. de C.V., a well-established local bakery and pastry brand in El Salvador. We discussed their demand for steel structure workshops and storage warehouses for food production. Our team collected on-site project information and communicated technical requirements for food-grade facilities. Both sides held positive discussions and explored potential cooperation opportunities.
The Dorian team also visited Distribuidora Plástica Central, a prominent local plastic goods distributor and wholesaler in El Salvador. We held in-depth discussions regarding their warehouse renovation project. The client owns an aging steel warehouse built decades ago. Under their plan, most parts of the existing building will be removed while only the original steel columns are retained. Accordingly, we will design the new warehouse based on these preserved steel columns. Referring to the drawings of the old structure, our team has completed detailed design and optimization for the new warehouse, to guarantee the safety and cost-effectiveness of the overall solution.
The team also paid a visit to Valle Norte Group. The group operates a large industrial park in El Salvador, which hosts numerous existing steel structures for garment manufacturing and export. Several factory buildings within the park are leased to Hansae Co., Ltd. (Hansae Group), a prominent South Korean listed apparel manufacturer and exporter. As a global leading OEM & ODM clothing supplier, Hansae serves well-known international fashion brands and runs a widespread production network across Central America. Its garment processing workshops in El Salvador are located within this Valle Norte industrial park. We held constructive communications with the client regarding their factory expansion plans for the coming year.
