How a quote works

  1. You email the item. Tow title, paper gsm/CU, or rod size — plus quantity and destination plant.
  2. We indent from Hong Kong. Confirmed order: deposit or LC, origin stated, docs and freight arranged.
  3. You run production. We stay on the shipment until the lot is on the water and the papers match.

Plants we quote first

  • Vietnam — filter and rod plants upgrading supply
  • Indonesia — volume tow and paper programmes
  • Thailand — export factories with tight specs
  • Other destinations on a named enquiry

We do not sell used machinery on this site.
