What Sets Us Apart
Ningbo Fulei Metal Products Co., Ltd. was founded in 2016 with a clear mission: deliver OEM sheet metal fabrication that meets the same standards our customers apply to their own products. We don’t run our own brand. We exist to make your products — to your drawings, your tolerances, your finish specs.
Our 5,200 m² facility in Ningbo runs three laser cutting machines (including a Trumpf fiber laser), four CNC press brakes, ten welding stations, and full surface treatment partnerships. Every step from raw sheet to finished, packed part happens under one roof. No outsourcing. No handoffs. No surprises.
Where We Work
We export to brands in the United States, United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, Germany, France, Spain, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Long-term partners include Hog Slat (USA’s largest livestock equipment supplier) and CNClib (Korea’s library furniture brand). Most of our customers started with one trial order and stayed for five or more years.
Our export team handles CE / UKCA documentation, MSDS sheets, fumigation-free wooden crates, FOB Ningbo / CIF / DDP terms, and OEM-neutral labeling. We ship 40HQ containers monthly.
How We Work
Send us STEP, DXF, PDF, or even a hand sketch. We respond with a manufacturability review, a firm quote, and a realistic lead time — usually within 24 hours. Engineering changes mid-project are common; we accommodate them with a redlined drawing and a revised quote before any tool moves.
Communication runs on WhatsApp, email, and WeChat. Your project gets a dedicated sales engineer who follows it from RFQ to delivery. No ticket numbers. No call-center routing.
7 Steps from Drawing to Delivery
A streamlined, transparent workflow that ensures quality at every stage —
from your initial drawings to finished products at your warehouse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about OEM sheet metal manufacturing, lead times, materials, and shipping from our Ningbo factory.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For laser cutting and bending, MOQ is typically 100 pieces per part number. For welding, assembly, or surface-treated parts, MOQ is 200 pieces. We accept smaller pilot orders (50 pieces) for new customers to validate quality before scaling. Tooling and fixtures have separate one-time charges.
What materials do you work with?
Cold-rolled steel, hot-rolled steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel (304 / 316 / 430), aluminum (5052 / 6061 / 7075), copper, and brass. Material thickness range is 0.5 mm to 25 mm for steel, up to 12 mm for stainless, and up to 10 mm for aluminum. We source mill-certified raw material from Baosteel, Tisco, and Chinalco.
What tolerances can you hold?
Standard tolerances are ±0.1 mm for laser cutting on materials up to 6 mm thick, ±0.2 mm for 6–12 mm, and ±0.3 mm for thicker stock. CNC bending holds ±0.5° on angle and ±0.2 mm on bend position. Tighter tolerances (down to ±0.05 mm) are achievable for machined components with prior engineering review.
What surface treatments do you offer?
Electro-zinc plating (white / yellow / blue / black passivation), hot-dip galvanizing (ISO 1461), anodizing (clear / black / custom colors), powder coating (any RAL color, smooth / texture / matte), wet spray painting, and polishing / brushing for stainless steel. We also offer assembly, hardware insertion, and laser engraving.
What are typical lead times?
Prototypes: 7–10 working days. Small-batch production (under 1,000 pieces): 15–20 working days. Full production runs (over 5,000 pieces): 20–35 working days depending on complexity and surface treatment. Surface treatment adds 5–7 days. Sea freight from Ningbo to US West Coast is 14–18 days; to Europe is 28–32 days.
Do you handle export documentation and shipping?
Yes. We prepare commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin (Form E, Form A, Form F, RCEP), mill test certificates, fumigation-free wooden crates, and customs declarations. We ship EXW, FOB Ningbo, CIF, or DDP. Our export team handles CE / UKCA documentation, REACH / RoHS compliance, and OEM-neutral labeling for distribution customers.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes. We routinely sign one-way and mutual NDAs before reviewing customer drawings. Send us your standard NDA or we can provide ours. All engineering files are stored on access-controlled servers with limited personnel access. We do not advertise our customers or use their drawings in marketing without written permission.
How do you handle quality control?
Incoming material inspection (mill cert verification, dimensional check), in-process inspection at each manufacturing stage (first-article, patrol, and final), and pre-shipment inspection against your drawing and approved sample. We use calipers, height gauges, pin gauges, surface roughness testers, and a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for complex parts. Inspection reports and photos are shared before shipment.
