Steel Tube and Sheet Fabrication for Furniture Frames
Zhangzhou is described in Wanhao's own company record as the hometown of metal furniture, and steel fabrication is what the plant is built around. The factory photographs on this site show the press shop, the assembly conveyor and the coating line.
How This Runs
Eight stages, each with a decision that belongs to the buyer as much as to the factory.
Material intake
Steel tube and sheet received against the specification for the model.
Cutting and notching
Parts cut to the drawing so the joint closes cleanly.
Bending and forming
Tube bent and sheet formed to the frame geometry.
Pressing
Press shop work on sheet components.
Welding and assembly
Joints made where the drawing places them, then dressed.
Surface preparation
Prepared before coating so the finish holds.
Powder coating
Coated on the line, colour to the approved sample.
Frame inspection
Checked flat and square before it meets the panel or glass parts.

Steel Frame Fabrication — Questions
What tube sizes do you work with?
Tube size is specified per model. Ask the sales team what is already tooled before you specify a new size.
Do you powder coat in house?
Yes, coating is part of the plant. The coating line appears in the factory photographs on this site.
Can you match a RAL colour?
Send the RAL reference or a physical sample and we confirm the match on a pre-production sample.
Do you supply salt-spray test results?
Test coverage is confirmed per order. Tell us the hours your market expects and we confirm in writing.
