About
A trading company
hungthaicoils exists because the hardest part of buying steel coil internationally is not finding steel. It is making sure the steel that arrives is the steel you specified, from an origin you can clear, with documents that hold up.
We are a steel coil trading company. We do not own mills, we do not run rolling lines, and we do not hold speculative stock positions. What we hold is a network of qualified mills across eleven countries and the working knowledge to match an order to the right one.
The company trades six coil families — hot-rolled, cold-rolled, galvanized, galvalume, pre-painted and stainless — into 34 markets, from a head office and trading desk in Ho Chi Minh City with supporting desks in Singapore and Dubai. Our customers are fabricators, roll-formers, roofing manufacturers, steel service centres and industrial buyers who need a specification met reliably rather than a spot tonne bought cheaply.
Why independence matters
A mill has one set of capabilities and a rolling schedule to fill. That is not a criticism — it is what a mill is. But it means a mill’s answer to your enquiry is bounded by what it produces, and its incentive is to sell you the nearest thing it has.
Because we have no tonnage of our own to defend, our incentive is different. If your specification is better served by a Korean mill at a premium than a Chinese mill at a discount, that is what we will tell you — and if the cheaper origin is genuinely fine for your application, we will tell you that too. We are paid on the trade, and repeat trades are worth considerably more than one-off margin.
What we are careful about
Steel coil is unforgiving in specific ways. Coating class chosen by habit rather than exposure. Orders written on total coated thickness so the steel content moves with the coating. Origin declared from the coating plant rather than the melting mill. Certificates of origin issued on the wrong form, killing a preferential duty rate that cannot be recovered afterwards. Insurance under CIF that turns out to be a restricted named-perils cover.
None of these are exotic problems. They are the ordinary failure modes of the trade, and most of them are caught by asking the right question before the contract is signed. That is the substance of what we do, more than any single sourcing relationship.
How we are structured
Four functions sit behind every order — trading, quality and documentation, logistics, and trade finance. You deal with one point of contact on the trading desk, and that person can reach the other three directly. There is no chain of intermediaries between your enquiry and the mill.

How we operate
Four things we hold to
Not values on a wall — the specific behaviours that determine whether a coil order goes well.
01
Say the difficult thing early
If a coating class will not survive the environment, if an origin carries duty exposure, if a lead time is not credible — you hear it at enquiry stage. A quote that wins the order and loses the customer is a bad trade.
02
Specify precisely, then contract to it
BMT not TCT. Named port and Incoterms edition. Coating mass with triple-spot results. Ambiguity in a contract always resolves against somebody, and usually against the buyer.
03
Own the problem
We hold the mill relationship, so we handle the claim. Our customers should not have to litigate a coating result across a language barrier and eight time zones.
04
Be the same on the second order
Specifications, mills, batch references and packing preferences are recorded. Repeat orders start from a known-good baseline instead of from scratch.
Structure
Four functions behind every order
One point of contact on the trading desk, with direct access to the three functions that make an order actually work.
Trading desk
Specification review, mill enquiry and pricing, offer preparation and negotiation. This is where an RFQ lands and where the commercial decisions are made.
Quality & documentation
MTC verification against contract, inspection coordination, certificates of origin and preferential-origin forms, and the document set that has to satisfy customs.
Logistics
Booking, loading supervision, container versus breakbulk decisions, discharge port capability, and demurrage exposure management.
Trade finance
L/C structuring and checking, payment terms, and the banking coordination that keeps documents and money moving in step.
