Algerian Designer Visits BLOSSOM CHEER to Discuss Aluminum Door Material Import Plans
This Designer focused on understanding materials and component sourcing options for local production, as the client is considering importing aluminum alloy profiles and hardware from China to support their next product direction: aluminum casement doors.
Discussion Focus: Aluminum Alloy Profiles and Hardware
During the meeting, the client shared a clear plan to start with standardized door sizes to match local market preferences. The proposed configuration included a fixed width of 900mm, with multiple height options such as 2200mm, 2400mm, and 2800mm, which the client indicated are widely accepted in Algeria.
Rather than purchasing finished door products, the client’s approach is to import key materials and essential hardware components for in-house production. The Designer therefore centered on practical feasibility, supply scope, and how different combinations of profiles and hardware could support aluminum casement door manufacturing.
Import Considerations and Local Manufacturing Plan
A key topic raised by the Designer was the difference in import duties between raw materials and finished products. Based on the client’s current understanding of local policy, importing materials from China may offer more favorable tariffs, while importing complete finished doors can lead to significantly higher costs.
This consideration plays an important role in the client’s decision to develop production locally, and it shaped the direction of the discussion toward component-level sourcing and manufacturing preparation.
Communication on Custom Requirements and OEM Manufacturing
Although the client plans to begin with standardized dimensions, the conversation also reflected early-stage custom considerations related to product implementation. The discussion remained aligned with a manufacturing-focused approach, covering how aluminum alloy profiles and hardware could be supplied for OEM manufacturing needs, supporting the client’s intended assembly and fabrication workflow.
For BLOSSOM CHEER, such exchanges are part of typical project-based communication, where product structure, material selection, and supply boundaries are clarified before moving into deeper technical alignment.
Building Mutual Understanding Through On-Site Visits
As a first visit to China, the client used this opportunity to gain a direct impression of product sourcing options and to communicate the intended production direction face to face. Such visits help both sides better understand project requirements and manufacturing capabilities.
