What we learned from working with a supplier in China: Contracts, schedules, and translations

Description:
At Metal Duct, we've learned that doing business internationally isn't easy. When we decided to import machinery from China, we encountered several challenges: The time difference forced us to hold meetings at odd hours, contracts had to be reviewed in great detail to avoid misunderstandings, and HVAC technical translations became a challenge.

We received entire manuals in another language, and we knew that a misinterpretation could be costly. It was a process of patience and learning, where the support of specialized interpreters and the use of digital tools proved key.

Conclusion:
Overcoming these barriers allowed us to access cutting-edge technology that today makes a difference in the quality of our products. Remember, China offers all kinds of quality products. Let's forget the idea that products made in China are not quality-conscious.
