Prior to the 2020 pandemic, China's top-tier manufacturing companies Zoomlion exclusively relied on drag-chain cables produced by Igus, a leading German supplier renowned for its exceptional quality. These manufacturers placed a premium on quality and reliability, and they had traditionally been hesitant to consider Chinese suppliers for such critical components.
However, the pandemic disrupted global supply chains, causing significant price increases and extended lead times for Igus products. These challenges created a pressing need for Chinese manufacturers to identify alternative suppliers who could deliver comparable quality at a more competitive price and with shorter delivery times.
ECHU wire & cable, a Chinese manufacturer of high-quality drag-chain cables, recognized this opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities to a new market segment. Our company had invested heavily in advanced manufacturing technologies and quality control processes to ensure its products met or exceeded international standards.
To meet the specific needs of these top-tier Chinese manufacturers, ECHU took a proactive approach:
Rigorous Quality Assurance:
The company implemented stringent quality control measures at every stage of production, from raw material selection to final inspection. This ensured that its drag-chain cables matched the performance and reliability of Igus products.
Reliable Delivery:
The company prioritized timely delivery by optimizing its supply chain and logistics operations. This ensured that customers received their orders on schedule, even during periods of global supply chain disruption.
The combination of top-tier quality, competitive pricing, and reliable delivery proved to be a compelling value proposition for China's leading manufacturers. As a result, ECHU successfully secured contracts with several of these companies, replacing Igus as their preferred supplier of drag-chain cables.
By choosing ECHU, these manufacturers realized several significant benefits:
Cost-Effective:
They significantly reduced their procurement costs without sacrificing quality, improving their overall profitability.

The partnership with ECHU has been instrumental in maintaining our production timelines. Their commitment to quality and timely delivery, has made them a reliable supplier for us.
