Q:What is Your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
This is an excellent and practical question. We understand that every project, from large-scale infrastructure to specialized industrial applications, has a unique scope and material requirement.
At Allland Steel, our goal is to be a flexible and accessible partner. While we are fully equipped for large-tonnage orders, we also recognize the need for smaller or more specialized quantities.
Our General MOQ Guidelines
As a general guideline, our Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is typically determined on a per-specification basis. For most standard production runs, our MOQ is:
- 20 to 25 tons per single specification.
A “single specification” refers to a specific combination of outer diameter, wall thickness, and steel grade (e.g., 610mm OD x 12.7mm WT, API 5L X70 PSL2).
Why We Have an MOQ
From a manufacturing perspective, an MOQ is necessary to ensure an efficient production run. Setting up our mill for a specific size and grade of pipe is a complex process. An MOQ allows us to optimize this setup, manage raw material procurement effectively, and in turn, offer you the most competitive pricing for that item.
We Are Flexible: Discuss Your Project With Us
While the 20-ton guideline is our standard, we firmly believe in finding solutions for our clients. We recognize that certain situations require a different approach.
We encourage you to contact us even if your requirement is below our standard MOQ, especially for:
- Trial Orders: If you are a new partner or are testing a new product application.
- Specialized or High-Value Projects: Where the required quantity is naturally smaller due to the specific nature of the project.
- Ongoing Supply Agreements: Where smaller, regular deliveries are part of a larger, long-term supply plan.
In these cases, our sales and production teams will work together to review your requirement and explore all feasible options. It may be possible to combine your order with an existing production run or to develop a custom solution.
The Allland Steel Approach
Our primary objective is to build long-term partnerships. Don’t let a quantity requirement prevent you from starting a conversation with us. We are always open to discussing your project’s unique needs and are committed to finding a way to support you.
