Case Overview
In 2026, our company successfully delivered a repeat bulk order to a metalworking client in the Dominican Republic: 10 tons of 1060-O aluminum strip, sized 2.5mm x 25mm, supplied specifically for grounding wire production. This project reflects our strength in supplying soft, highly conductive aluminum strip with tight dimensional tolerances for electrical earthing applications.
Client Background
The buyer is a metal processing and electrical component manufacturer based in the Dominican Republic, serving the local construction, power distribution and telecom industries. They supply grounding and earthing systems for substations, towers and industrial facilities, and require a reliable, consistent source of soft aluminum strip that can be formed and installed without cracking.

Why 1060-O Aluminum Strip for Grounding Wire
1060 pure aluminum contains more than 99.6% aluminum, giving it outstanding electrical conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance. The O (soft) temper makes the strip highly flexible, so it bends and shapes easily around terminals and structures without cracking — an essential property for grounding conductors that must follow complex installation paths. The precise 2.5mm x 25mm cross-section also delivers a stable current-carrying capacity, making it ideal for earthing and lightning protection systems.
Delivery & Results
After confirming the free sample and approving the alloy and temper, the client placed a 10-ton order. Our factory produced the strip with strict thickness and width control, completed in-house inspection, and shipped the coils on seaworthy wooden pallets. The batch was delivered within the agreed lead time and passed the client's incoming inspection with no dimensional or surface defects.
- 10 tons of 1060-O strip 2.5mm x 25mm delivered on schedule
- Consistent conductivity and flexibility verified by the client
- Zero quality complaints; repeat orders expected
Customer Feedback
After receiving the shipment, the client confirmed that the 1060-O strip performed exactly as required: it formed cleanly during grounding wire fabrication, showed no edge cracking during bending, and maintained stable conductivity across the whole batch. They highlighted our responsive communication, accurate dimensions and competitive factory direct price as the main reasons for choosing to continue the partnership.
Looking Forward
This Dominican Republic grounding wire project demonstrates our capability to serve the Latin American electrical and construction markets with factory direct pricing, free samples and reliable bulk supply. For buyers seeking 1060-O aluminum strip for grounding, earthing or other conductive applications, we welcome the opportunity to quote and supply.
