India → United States · Process equipment sourcing
Coded fabrication from India, delivered to American plants.
Northbound Industrial connects US engineering firms, OEMs and plant owners with qualified Indian fabricators of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, skids and machined components. We manage the RFQ, the inspection and the shipment, and stay your US point of contact from award to delivery.
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.

- 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
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

04 · Process
From drawing to dock
Every order follows the same sequence, with a named owner at each step.
Scope
Send datasheets, drawings, code and material requirements. We confirm what is missing before anything goes out.
Match
We put the RFQ in front of shops qualified for that equipment class and code stamp.
Quote
You get comparable bids with clear scope, exclusions, schedule and Incoterms.
Build
Inspection and test plan agreed up front. Your TPI witnesses the hold points; we send progress reports.
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
Open shop slots
Large US fabricators often quote long backlogs for heavy-wall and alloy work. Coded Indian shops can usually start sooner.
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.
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.
