Useful Facts for an Overseas Buyer or Supplier Auditor
This page separates published company information from project-specific documents that should be checked during onboarding.
| Buyer question | Doing Metal / Fulei Metal information | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Who is the supplier? | Ningbo Fulei Metal Products Co., Ltd.; Doing Metal presents the trolley-focused product and export direction. | Identifies the legal manufacturing party behind the product website. |
| How long has the company operated? | Company materials state the business was founded in 2016; the 2026 Bureau Veritas audit records the registration date as 27 July 2016. | Gives buyers a starting point for checking company history and continuity. |
| Where is the manufacturing base? | Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. The 2026 Bureau Veritas audit (Report No. MIC-ASR263630) recorded the audited site at No. 18, Zhenxing South Road, Qijiashan Street, Beilun District, Ningbo, separately from the registered address. | Helps with supplier records, logistics planning and factory communication. |
| What factory scale was recorded? | The 2026 Bureau Veritas audit (MIC-ASR263630) recorded a company area of 2,500 m2, 28 employees with 22 in the production department, 1 R&D engineer and 1 quality staff member. | Gives a buyer a dated, third-party reviewed starting point instead of an unsupported factory-size claim. |
| What equipment was recorded? | The 2026 Bureau Veritas audit listed 3 laser cutting machines, 8 bending machines, 4 welding machines and 4 riveting machines, plus drilling and punching equipment across four production lines. | Shows the documented production route while keeping current machine models and limits subject to confirmation. |
| What does the export record show? | The 2026 Bureau Veritas audit confirmed a valid import and export licence, 165 customers, ten years of export experience, and Ningbo Port and Shanghai Port as the nearest loading ports. | Confirms the export side of the business with audited figures rather than marketing claims. |
| What is the current commercial fit? | Standard MOQ is 50 units. For large-size or heavy-duty trolley projects, quantities from 10 units may be discussed after structure and cost review. | Helps qualified buyers decide early whether the program matches their purchasing plan. |
| What still needs project confirmation? | Current certificates, permits, employee records, inspection formats, laser model and envelope, material limits, tolerance, lead time and final quotation should be confirmed for each project. | Prevents a general website statement from being mistaken for an approved supplier file. |
History and Growth
From Sheet Metal Fabrication to a Trolley-Focused Export Site
Fulei Metal's company materials describe a business founded in 2016 and developed around metal products and sheet metal fabrication. Doing Metal gives the trolley product line its own buyer-facing structure so a customer looking for a platform cart, cage trolley or custom handling frame can see both the product and the manufacturing route behind it.
The growth story is intentionally practical: more product families, more application-specific design questions, and a clearer connection between the first RFQ and the next repeat order. For buyers, that means a conversation about the actual cargo, route, environment and packing plan instead of a generic catalogue photo.
Broader fabrication system
Cutting, forming, welding, finishing, assembly, inspection and packing are connected around custom metal projects.
Repeatable trolley supply
Product drawings, approved wheels, finish references, labels and packing records should support future orders.
Equipment and People
Who Owns the Work at Each Stage
Professional supply is a chain of responsibilities. The exact equipment list, staffing and records should be verified during a buyer audit, but the manufacturing conversation should cover these owners from the beginning.
Engineering / RFQ Review
Reviews cargo, load, route, floor, shelf or cage layout, wheel choice, critical dimensions, material and finish. This is where a photo becomes a buildable requirement.
Production Team
Operates the cutting, bending, tube, welding, finishing and assembly steps needed for the approved trolley structure. Fixtures and work instructions should follow the released drawing.
Quality / Export Team
Checks dimensions, frame squareness, caster and brake function, finish, accessories, labels and packing. Records and photos can be discussed according to the buyer approval process.
Laser Cutting
The 2026 Bureau Veritas audit recorded three laser cutting machines, including the TRUMPF unit added in June 2026; model, working envelope, material limits and tolerance are confirmed per project.
Review laser capability
CNC Bending
Press brake forming supports trays, shelf lips, channels, guards, drawer bodies and reinforcement parts.
Review bending capability
Welding and Assembly
Frames, handles, cage panels, caster plates and accessories need fit-up, welding, assembly and functional checks.

What a Trolley Order Actually Passes Through
Buyers rarely get to see the floor before the first order, so here is the route in photographs: stocked material, cut blanks, formed parts, assembled units, finished goods and packed cartons leaving by pallet.
Assembly — frames, shelves and accessories are fitted before inspection.
Material storage — tube and sheet stock held by grade and thickness.
Cut blanks staged for bending and welding.
Aluminium parts for a build-to-print order.
Finished units staged before packing.
Packed cartons moved out by pallet jack.
Current Capability Update
What Changed in 2026
The latest update is stated separately from the dated audit record so buyers can tell what is historical evidence and what is a current company statement.
Additional TRUMPF laser machine
Fulei Metal added a TRUMPF laser cutting machine in June 2026 to support more demanding sheet-metal work. The exact model and cutting envelope are available for project confirmation.
Capability matched to the drawing
Material grade, sheet thickness, part size, hole and slot geometry, edge requirement and downstream bending or welding are reviewed together before a laser parameter is promised.
Documents available by review
Buyers can send their supplier questionnaire. Company registration, audit evidence, inspection formats and current certificates are separated and shared only after internal verification.
Responsible Supplier Review
Environmental, Social and Governance Questions We Should Answer With Evidence
For a sheet metal factory, responsibility is visible in permits, work practices, records and corrective action. Buyers can send their supplier questionnaire before quotation so the right documents are prepared and unverified claims are not published as facts.
Environment
Questions: How are powder-coating fumes, wastewater, dust, scrap metal and other production waste controlled? Which licensed or documented treatment routes apply?
Evidence to review: relevant permits, waste-transfer records, environmental inspection records and site practice. Current availability: confirm project by project.
Social responsibility
Questions: Are machine safety, PPE, training, incident reporting and injury management controlled? Does the supplier prohibit child labor and forced labor?
Evidence to review: safety training, PPE records, risk assessments, incident process and labor policy. Current availability: confirm through supplier audit.
Governance
Questions: Can the supplier issue proper contracts and invoices, keep quality records, manage sub-suppliers, control drawing changes and follow anti-bribery expectations?
Evidence to review: business registration, contract/invoice samples, quality records, supplier evaluation and change-control documents.
Supplier Approval Pack
What to Send Before We Prepare a Serious Trolley Quote
The fastest way to reduce uncertainty is to share your own approval format early. We can then separate what is already available, what is project-specific and what needs internal confirmation.
