01 · Services

One accountable US partner on both sides of the order

Buying fabricated equipment from overseas usually fails on the details: unclear scope, missed code requirements, inspection gaps, freight surprises. We close those gaps with people in New York and on the shop floor in Gujarat.

For US buyers

Engineering firms, OEMs, plant owners

  • RFQ packaging and supplier matching against your code, material and schedule requirements
  • Shop qualification: code stamps, welder qualifications, past work in your class of equipment
  • Inspection planning with your chosen third-party agency, from material receipt to final hydrotest
  • Export packing, ocean freight coordination and documentation through to your dock
  • A US-based contact who answers in your time zone
For Indian manufacturers

Coded shops ready for US work

  • Qualified introductions to US buyers who need your capability
  • Help aligning quotes, drawings and documents with US buyer expectations
  • Commercial support through negotiation, award and the first shipment
  • Receivables financing on US invoices through Obsidian Finance, our trade-finance affiliate

04 · Process

From drawing to dock

Every order follows the same sequence, with a named owner at each step.

01

Scope

Send datasheets, drawings, code and material requirements. We confirm what is missing before anything goes out.

02

Match

We put the RFQ in front of shops qualified for that equipment class and code stamp.

03

Quote

You get comparable bids with clear scope, exclusions, schedule and Incoterms.

04

Build

Inspection and test plan agreed up front. Your TPI witnesses the hold points; we send progress reports.

05

Deliver

Export packing, freight and the full data book: MTCs, NDT, hydrotest records and U-1 forms.

05 · Why India

Capacity where US shops are full

Lead time

Open shop slots

Large US fabricators often quote long backlogs for heavy-wall and alloy work. Coded Indian shops can usually start sooner.

Codes

Built to your standard

The shops we work with hold ASME stamps and build to ASME, TEMA and API, inspected by the agencies you already use.

Supply chain

A second source

Adding an India-based supplier spreads risk away from a single country or a single domestic shop.

Trade finance

Terms that work on both sides of the ocean

Indian fabricators often need cash at shipment. US buyers want standard net terms. Through Obsidian Finance, our trade-finance affiliate, suppliers on approved orders are paid when goods ship and buyers keep their normal net terms. Obsidian already finances a recurring export program from our anchor partner to a US equipment OEM.
