Forcasteels International is a relatively new enterprise owned and managed by experienced engineers and based in Sheffield, a world centre for steel and metal plant. The prime purpose of the company is to provide a seamless service in the provision of equipment and steel forgings and castings from a variety of proven and qualified manufacturers in China. The Company has the European Sales Agency for the products of China Erzhong as well as other smaller companies specializing in quick turnaround spares for capital equipment. The directors are widely experienced in the requirements of the industry and also have a good working knowledge and first-hand experience of the Chinese metals industry.
We look forward to receiving enquiries that we can translate into regular business using our experienced international business colleagues so that language and potential cultural barriers do not complicate business deals.

David came to UK in 1993 as a university student where he gained his engineering degree. He has worked in various disciplines including CAD for several organizations and is now an experienced operatorable to link Western engineering company cultures with operations in Chinese society and culture. His mother tongue is Mandarin so he is able to translate client requirements into the capabilities of our Chinese suppliers, not only linguistically but across cultures, thus enabling smooth and effective communication down the supply chain to lead to dedicated successful business.
