(Philipian Friend) did come across two very reliable companies suppying Bronze Ingots and Brass/Copper Strips thru the Alibaba platform. These two companies have been our regular suppliers for a number of years now. Ironically, both suppliers are from India not China. Ironic, because here in the Philippines there is a prevailing sentiment to not trust the Indians, as they are very wily businessmen. (There is even a running joke advising that should you come across an Indian and a snake in the desert, you should kill the Indian first, then kill the snake. Reason: The snake is more trustworthy). My apologies to our Indian colleagues here, that was merely to illustrate the point. However, that notion is being erased now as Indians at present are coming across as very serious in doing business and in establishing a foothold in major world markets. In fact, I am surprised to learn most Indian steel mills are employing world-class European technology to make the manufacturing process more efficient, and the products of better, if not of excellent quality.
