What Macrodyne Needed Confirmed
Macrodyne Presses & Automation manufactures heavy-duty hydraulic presses and automation systems for industrial clients across North America. Their press frames and platens require large-format, custom-dimensioned structural steel plates — often exceeding 150mm in thickness — with strict dimensional tolerances and verifiable ASTM A36 material compliance.
Finding a Chinese fabricator capable of delivering at this specification, with genuine mill-traceability and reliable custom cutting capability, requires more than a supplier profile. Macrodyne engaged Luckee to physically verify the supply chain from raw steel coil to finished custom-cut plate — confirming that the material, the fabrication process, and the documentation were all genuinely in place.
The audit covered three stages of the supply chain in a single visit: the raw material yard (Wuxi steel coil inventory), the CNC flame cutting workshop, and the finished custom plate warehouse — with live XRF chemical testing conducted on-site on representative samples from the production batch.
