Eterna Global Solutions LLP manufactures sheet metal enclosures, server racks, telecom cabinets, and custom fabricated assemblies that are export-ready — built to international quality standards, packed in ISPM-15 compliant export-grade crating, and supported by the documentation that overseas buyers and customs authorities require. If you are an equipment company, system integrator, or distributor outside India looking for a reliable manufacturing source for precision sheet metal products, Eterna provides the combination of Indian cost advantage with internationally competitive quality.
India’s position as a global manufacturing source for sheet metal enclosures is strengthening every year. The raw material base is strong (established steel and aluminium mills), the fabrication skill base is deep (decades of domestic and export manufacturing experience across the industry), and the cost structure is competitive with China while offering geopolitical supply chain diversification that many international buyers are actively seeking. Eterna is positioned to serve this growing demand from our vertically integrated facility in Noida, located within easy reach of Delhi’s international freight corridors, Inland Container Depots (ICDs), and air cargo terminals.
Whether you need a production partner for white-label enclosures under your brand, a contract manufacturer for a specific product line, or a component supplier for sub-assemblies that feed your overseas assembly operation, we are set up to deliver internationally with the packaging, documentation, and communication standards that cross-border trade demands.
India offers a compelling cost position for precision sheet metal fabrication. Raw material costs (CRC, GI, stainless steel) are competitive with global benchmarks. Labour costs for skilled fabrication, welding, and assembly are significantly lower than Western markets and increasingly competitive with China. Our vertically integrated model — all processes under one roof — eliminates the multi-vendor markups and logistics costs that inflate pricing in fragmented supply chains. For international buyers, the ex-works cost from Eterna, combined with competitive ocean freight from Indian ports, typically delivers a meaningful landed-cost advantage over domestic production in Europe, North America, Australia, and the Middle East.
Many international equipment companies are actively diversifying their manufacturing sources beyond China — driven by tariff exposure, geopolitical risk, supply chain resilience strategy, and the lessons of recent global disruptions. India is the most commonly chosen alternative for sheet metal fabrication because the skill base, material availability, and infrastructure already exist. Eterna provides a ready-made, proven manufacturing capability that international buyers can qualify through our NPI process — from drawing review through prototype, first-article approval, and ongoing production — without building anything from scratch.
India+1 / China+1 strategy: If you currently source enclosures from China and want to qualify a second source in a different country, Eterna is well-positioned to serve as that alternative. We can produce to your existing drawings, match your current supplier’s quality, and provide a qualified backup production source in a different geopolitical zone.
What ISPM-15 requires: All solid wood packaging materials (crates, pallets, dunnage) used in international trade must be heat-treated (HT) or methyl-bromide-treated to kill pests, and stamped with the ISPM-15 compliance mark. Non-compliant shipments are rejected at port of entry by customs authorities in most countries.
What we provide: Export crating built from ISPM-15 heat-treated plywood or HT-stamped solid timber. Each crate and pallet carries the ISPM-15 mark from our certified packaging supplier. Compliance is standard on every export shipment — you never have to worry about port rejections due to packaging non-compliance.
Plywood vs solid timber: Plywood is inherently ISPM-15 exempt (as a processed wood product), so we prefer plywood crating for export shipments where practical — it avoids any ambiguity about solid-wood treatment marks and is lighter, reducing shipping weight. For heavy products requiring solid-timber skids or bearers, HT-stamped timber is used.
Moisture protection: Sea containers experience temperature cycling during ocean transit, causing condensation (container rain) that can damage unprotected metal products. We protect against this with:
— VCI (Vapour Corrosion Inhibitor) paper or film wrapping for bare metal surfaces
— Desiccant sachets inside sealed inner packaging to absorb moisture
— Polyethylene stretch wrap for an additional moisture barrier
Physical protection: EPE foam corners and edge protectors prevent transit damage to powder-coated surfaces. Bubble wrap for glass, acrylic, or display panels. Custom timber cradles for heavy or unusually shaped enclosures.
Container loading plan: For full-container-load (FCL) shipments, we provide a loading plan showing how units are arranged inside the 20ft or 40ft container, with weight distribution, stacking, and bracing details. This maximises container utilisation and prevents shifting during transit.
Palletisation: Products palletised for forklift handling at port and at destination. Pallet dimensions and weights designed to comply with destination country handling standards.
Commercial Invoice: Detailed invoice with product description, HS (Harmonised System) code, quantity, unit value, total value, Incoterms, and payment terms. Formatted per your customs broker’s requirements.
Packing List: Item-by-item list with dimensions, weights (gross and net), serial numbers, and package identification numbers. Matches the commercial invoice line-by-line.
Certificate of Origin (COO): Issued through the appropriate Indian chamber of commerce, certifying that goods were manufactured in India. Required for preferential tariff treatment under trade agreements (e.g., India-ASEAN FTA, India-UAE CEPA, India-Australia ECTA, India-Japan CEPA).
Shipping Bill and Bill of Lading / Airway Bill: Coordinated with the freight forwarder for smooth customs clearance at origin.
IEC (Import Export Code): Eterna holds a valid IEC issued by DGFT, required for all export transactions from India.
Material Test Certificates (MTCs): Mill test certificates for the raw material used in the shipment, showing material grade, chemical composition, and mechanical properties. Traceable to the specific production batch.
Quality Certificate: Eterna-issued certificate confirming that the products in the shipment have been manufactured and inspected per the agreed quality plan and product specification.
Inspection Report: Dimensional inspection data, coating test results (DFT, adhesion), and IP test certificates (for IP-rated products) — provided at the serial-number level for full traceability programs.
Test reports per customer spec: If your product requires third-party testing (salt spray per ISO 9227, impact resistance per ISO 6272, seismic qualification, or other specific tests), we coordinate with accredited Indian laboratories and include the reports in the shipment package.
Photographs: Pre-shipment photographs of finished products and export packing available on request — common practice for international buyers who want visual confirmation before the container is sealed.
Our manufacturing processes and quality controls align with international standards commonly specified by overseas buyers:
Enclosures: IEC 62208 (empty enclosures for power switchgear), IEC 60529 (IP ingress protection), EIA-310-E (19″ rack rail spacing). Products manufactured and tested against these standards.
Welding: Weld quality per AWS D1.3 (structural welding — sheet steel) visual acceptance criteria. Welders trained in MIG, TIG, spot, and fiber laser welding processes applicable to export-quality sheet metal products.
Powder coating: Outdoor polyester coatings (Interpon, Asian Paints PPG, Jotun) with DFT, adhesion (ISO 2409), and flexibility (ISO 1519) testing per coating manufacturer’s specifications. Pre-treatment (degrease, phosphate, passivate) per standard practice for the coating system specified.
Material grades: We source material to IS (Indian Standard) grades that have direct international equivalents — IS 513-D (equivalent to EN 10130 DC01), IS 277 (equivalent to EN 10346 DX51D+Z), AISI 304/316 stainless — so your engineering team can verify material compatibility with your design specifications.
First-Article Inspection: Every export product goes through our NPI and FAI process. The FAI report format is familiar to international procurement and quality teams — every dimension measured, every result recorded, every tolerance flagged as pass/fail. Your quality team reviews and approves before production begins.
DFM review: Our DFM engineering review ensures that your design is optimised for our specific equipment and Indian material grades. If a specified material or component is not available locally, we flag it during DFM and propose equivalents with documented specifications.
Communication standards: We understand that international OEM relationships require clear, timely, and documented communication. Order acknowledgements, production progress updates, pre-shipment notifications, and documentation packages are provided in English and follow structured formats. We are comfortable working across time zones with email, video calls, and shared document platforms.
Factory audit ready: International buyers routinely audit manufacturing partners before placing orders. Our facility is audit-ready and we welcome inspection visits. If travel is not feasible for initial evaluation, we can arrange a live video factory walkthrough.
Container options: 20ft containers (~28 CBM, ~22,000 kg payload) for smaller shipments or heavy products; 40ft and 40ft HC containers (~67–76 CBM) for larger volume or bulky enclosures. Open-top containers for oversized products that cannot be loaded through standard container doors.
Loading from factory: Containers loaded at our Noida facility. We manage the container loading per the approved loading plan, with photographs of the loaded container before sealing. Container seal number recorded on shipping documents.
Major ports: Nhava Sheva (JNPT, Mumbai) and Mundra are the primary export ports for shipments from Delhi NCR, routed via ICD Tughlakabad or ICD Patparganj. Transit to port typically 3–5 days by rail from ICD. Sailing times to major destinations: Middle East 7–12 days, Southeast Asia 10–18 days, Europe 18–25 days, East Africa 10–15 days, Australia 18–22 days.
Air freight: For urgent prototype shipments, first-article samples, or small quantities where speed outweighs cost. Dispatched from Delhi IGI Airport cargo terminal (~55 km from factory). Delivery to most international destinations within 3–7 days door-to-door.
LCL (Less than Container Load): For shipments that don’t justify a full container. Products palletised and delivered to a consolidation warehouse for groupage shipping. Cost-effective for small-to-medium batch sizes. Slightly longer transit time than FCL due to consolidation and deconsolidation at each end.
Freight coordination: We work with experienced freight forwarders who handle sheet metal and industrial equipment shipments regularly. Eterna manages the export process up to the agreed Incoterm point (typically EXW or FOB). For CIF/DAP, our forwarder provides door-to-door logistics including customs clearance at destination if required.
Marine transit insurance: We recommend cargo insurance for all export shipments. Our freight forwarder can arrange marine insurance, or you can insure through your own broker. Insurance details coordinated during order confirmation.
