Industrial Procurement & Turnkey Projects in China
China is the world's largest industrial producer and consumer market — with deep capability across manufacturing, food processing and renewable energy.
How do you source industrial equipment for a project in China?
Define the product, process and target capacity first, then convert that into a single comparable equipment scope. Issue that identical scope to qualified manufacturers — including origins that affect financing eligibility — and compare the responses on technology, capacity, lead time, installation, commissioning, spares and payment terms rather than headline price. In China the strongest current project areas are manufacturing, aquaculture, food processing, cold chain. Financing, where required, is screened in parallel rather than after award, because equipment origin and project structure determine which routes are open.

Project types we coordinate in China
Global B2B Group works at integrated-project level — complete lines, plants, equipment packages and special-purpose machinery. Highly specialist single-equipment requirements are routed to the appropriate specialist desk rather than handled generically here.
Complete production line
One integrated line, one capacity basis, multiple equipment groups from potentially different manufacturers.
Turnkey facility
Process equipment, utilities, installation and commissioning coordinated as a single project scope.
Capacity expansion
Additional lines or equipment groups integrated into an existing operating plant.
Modernisation / retrofit
Replacement or automation of specific stages inside a line that must keep running.
Multi-supplier equipment package
Several equipment packages procured together so interfaces and responsibilities stay defined.
Special-purpose machinery
A machine for a process with no standard catalogue category, developed with a suitable machine builder.
The procurement workflow
- 1
Requirement
Product, process, target capacity, site constraints and timeline are captured in buyer language — no supplier involvement yet.
- 2
Technical scope
The requirement is converted into a comparable equipment scope: process stages, capacity basis, automation level, utilities and interfaces.
- 3
Supplier identification
Qualified manufacturers are shortlisted against that scope, including origins that affect financing eligibility.
- 4
Quotations
The same scope is issued to every shortlisted supplier so the responses can actually be compared.
- 5
Comparison
Technical and commercial comparison across scope, capacity, technology, warranty, lead time, installation, commissioning, training, spares and payment terms.
- 6
Financing
Where relevant, financing pathways are screened in parallel — export credit, development finance, commercial lending or vendor credit.
- 7
Project progression
Award, delivery, installation and commissioning coordination against the agreed scope.
CAPEX planning
Total project cost in China is rarely the equipment price alone. Freight, insurance, duties, installation, commissioning, civil works, utilities, engineering and contingency all move the number — and they move it differently depending on equipment origin and site readiness.
Financing pathways
- China Development Bank
- China EXIM (Sinosure)
- Commercial banks
- Vendor finance
Screening is preliminary only. Financing is subject to buyer, project, country, equipment origin, insurer/ECA and lender approval — no route is guaranteed, and no rate is quoted before a lender does.
