GNEE New Material Completes 900-Ton CRGO Electrical Steel Order To South Korea

This year, GNEE New Material secured and began fulfilling a large-scale export order of 900 metric tons of prime Cold Rolled Grain-Oriented (CRGO) electrical steel for a customer in South Korea. The order covers three distinct grades of grain-oriented silicon steel, each engineered for transformer core manufacturing and high-efficiency electrical equipment applications:

The 0.23mm ultra-thin gauge across all three grades places this order in the high-efficiency electrical steel category, suitable for distribution transformers meeting modern energy-efficiency standards. Grades B23R075 and B23R080 represent low-core-loss CRGO steel ideal for premium transformer cores, while 23Q110 serves cost-sensitive applications within the same product family.

The contract terms specified split delivery, meaning the 900-ton order would be shipped in multiple batches rather than a single consignment. This approach allows both GNEE New Material and the buyer to manage warehouse capacity, production scheduling, and cash flow more efficiently across the delivery period.

For the B23R080 / 23RK080 grade alone (450 tons ordered), the split delivery was organized into at least three separate batches:

The total for the 23RK080 grade comes to 508.750 tons, exceeding the contracted 450 tons due to the +5% / -0% delivery tolerance clause in the sales contract, which permits over-delivery to ensure the buyer receives sufficient material for their production planning. Additional batches for the B23R075 (400 tons) and 23Q110 (50 tons) grades are being coordinated under the same split delivery framework.

Each coil in this 900-ton CRGO order ships with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) documenting its electromagnetic properties. The quality parameters tracked for every individual coil include:

All material is packaged in standard seaworthy packing with pallets for ocean container transport, protecting the surface quality of the electrical steel coils during the Shanghai-to-Busan voyage. The mill's inspection is accepted as final, and original MTC documents accompany every shipment.

All batches are loaded at Shanghai Port - one of the world's busiest container export hubs - and shipped in containers to the Port of Busan, South Korea. This route is a well-established corridor for Chinese CRGO steel exports, offering reliable transit times and efficient customs clearance for South Korean transformer manufacturers and steel distributors.

The choice of container shipping (rather than bulk vessel) reflects the premium handling requirements of prime CRGO electrical steel, where surface condition and coil integrity directly impact downstream transformer core performance. Each container is loaded, sealed, and tracked from the forwarder's yard through to the destination port.

Payment terms for the order include a 10% advance T/T payment with the 90% balance settled after cargo trucking to the forwarder's yard, providing security for both the buyer and GNEE New Material throughout the split delivery cycle.

This 900-ton multi-grade CRGO order demonstrates GNEE New Material's end-to-end capability as a grain-oriented electrical steel supplier serving the global transformer and electrical equipment industry:

GNEE New Material manages the full supply chain for large-volume electrical steel orders: mill production coordination, custom slitting to specification, individual coil weighing and quality tracking, seaworthy packaging, container loading at Shanghai Port, and multi-batch delivery scheduling. Whether you need 50 tons of a single grade or 900+ tons across multiple grades, the same coil-level traceability and MTC documentation apply.

The company works with buyers across the transformer manufacturing, power distribution, and electrical equipment supply chain, offering grades including but not limited to B23R075, B23R080, B23R085, B23R090, 23Q110, 23Q120, 30Q120, 30Q130, 35Q135, and other standard CRGO and CRNGO (non-oriented) electrical steel grades in thicknesses from 0.23mm to 0.50mm.
