A Kenyan distributor opened an inquiry with us on July 12, 2026. Five weeks later they had placed two separate purchase orders for color coated steel coil (PPGI), 226 tons each, and the second payment just 15 days after the first payment. The trigger for that second order was simple: the first batch came off the line, the customer’s appointed third-party agency ran the mandatory PVOC/COC inspection, and it passed. This post walks through the full specification, the RAL color mix, why the gauges are thin, what Kenya’s PVOC/COC actually checks, and why a clean inspection result turns into a repeat order faster than any sales pitch.

I. Project Overview: A Customer’s Third Order in 2026 In July 2026, a Beirut-based steel distributor placed their third order with Wanzhi Steel: 297 tons of RAL 9002 PPGI color coated steel coil, specified at 0.6 mm thickness, 600 mm width, JIS G3312 SGCC grade. We’d already shipped this customer twice in 2026. First a 255-ton RAL 9003 PPGI coil batch, then a 320-ton mixed order of RAL 9003 PPGI coil and galvanized steel pipe. So this third order wasn’t a trial run. It was a returning buyer coming back for more, and asking for a different color this time. The color switch is the interesting part. Moving from RAL
