When it comes to the global construction industry, modular buildings are becoming an increasingly popular solution. The U.S. market, known for its demand for high-quality, efficient, and scalable modular solutions, presents both challenges and opportunities. Chengdong has successfully navigated these challenges, emerging as a trusted supplier in the American market. Through its partnership with Williams Scotsman (WS) and the GMF project, Chengdong has demonstrated its exceptional ability to meet international standards and cater to the specific needs of American customers.

The collaboration between Chengdong and WS began in 2014, marking the start of a productive and mutually beneficial relationship. Since then, nearly a thousand container houses have been exported to the U.S., significantly contributing to key sectors such as construction, military, education, and energy. With a proven track record, Chengdong has solidified its reputation as a reliable modular building supplier, making it one of the most sought-after Chinese suppliers in North America.

Why the U.S. Market Was a Key Opportunity for Chengdong

The United States has long been known as the most developed economy in the world. With its well-established modular building industry, the U.S. also serves as a benchmark for global construction standards. Entering this market is no small feat. It requires meeting stringent quality control standards, understanding the local demands, and ensuring that products align with the high expectations of American customers.

However, the high manufacturing costs of local and European suppliers opened the door for Chengdong. The world’s largest modular building operator, Williams Scotsman (WS), headquartered in the U.S., recognized the potential of Chinese suppliers, and after years of research and evaluation, Chengdong stood out from the competition. Its strong product development capabilities and exceptional quality were key factors that made Chengdong the ideal partner for WS in their quest for cost-effective modular building solutions.

Building Trust through Consistent Delivery and Product Quality

One of the primary reasons why Chengdong has achieved success in the American market is its unwavering commitment to quality. This commitment has been reflected in the GMF products that have been used across various sectors. From the military and education to construction and energy, Chengdong’s modular homes have been integral in supporting critical infrastructure development in the U.S.

Chengdong’s attention to detail, rigorous quality control measures, and its ability to adapt to the specific needs of the American market have played a significant role in the growing demand for its products. The GMF products, though still in the early stages of promotion in the U.S. market, have been well received by both operators and end customers. With the continued maturation of GMF products, the recognition and demand in the U.S. are expected to increase steadily.

A Visit to the Project Site: Enhancing Customer Experience and Customization

In late 2017, Chengdong's team made an important visit to the U.S. to gain deeper insights into customer needs and experiences. The trip included a visit to the headquarters of AS, a key player in the modular building market, located in the beautiful coastal city of Baltimore. The purpose of the visit was to understand the challenges and opportunities in the U.S. market and to directly engage with the customer to ensure that Chengdong’s products and services met their expectations.

During the meeting, AS management shared their feedback on Chengdong's operations in North America and discussed the issues encountered during previous projects. These candid discussions allowed Chengdong to better understand the specific needs of American customers and provided valuable insights into potential improvements for future projects.

The Growth Potential of GMF Products in the U.S. Market

At present, GMF products make up a small portion of AS’s portfolio in North America. However, AS has plans to gradually increase the proportion of GMF products as the market for modular homes grows. The visit to the Cherry Hill Assembly Center provided a deeper understanding of the current state of GMF products in the U.S. market. Although the assembly center’s size is relatively small, Chengdong was impressed by the efficient layout and impressive assembly capabilities.

It became clear that while GMF products are still in the primary promotion stage, their potential for future growth in the U.S. market is substantial. The visit reinforced Chengdong’s confidence that as GMF products continue to evolve, market recognition will significantly increase, leading to a broader customer base and greater market penetration.

The Role of Chengdong in Shaping the Future of Modular Construction
