Core Cooperation Information

Phase One: Customer Introduction from Ecuador Installation Team

This project began when the Colombian customer was introduced to HIGHTOP by an installation team in Ecuador.

Why did the Ecuador installation team recommend HIGHTOP to the Colombian customer?

The answer is simple: they had personally seen HIGHTOP’s product quality during previous installation projects.

Before this Colombia project, the Ecuador installation team had already completed four HIGHTOP poultry farm projects, including:

• 30,000 birds H type automatic layer cage project
• 40,000 birds H type automatic layer cage project
• 40,000 birds A type automatic layer cage project
• 40,000 birds A type automatic layer cage project

After repeatedly installing HIGHTOP equipment, the team became highly familiar with:

• Equipment structure precision
• Hot-dip galvanization quality
• Cage installation efficiency
• Automation system stability
• Long-term equipment durability

Most importantly, they directly witnessed the actual operational performance of HIGHTOP poultry equipment on commercial poultry farms.

Because of this experience, they confidently recommended HIGHTOP to the Colombian customer.

For poultry farming projects, recommendations from experienced installation teams are often more convincing than advertising because installers directly understand the real quality level of the equipment.

Phase Two: Confirming Client Needs

Old Chicken Coop Renovation Planning

After receiving the inquiry, HIGHTOP engineers first focused on confirming the customer’s poultry house conditions and production requirements.

This project involved an old chicken coop renovation, so detailed engineering planning was especially important.

Step 1: Measuring Poultry Shed Dimensions

The customer carefully measured the poultry shed dimensions, including:

• Poultry house length
• Poultry house width
• Poultry house height
• Structural layout

Accurate dimensions are extremely important for automatic cage projects because they directly affect equipment layout and installation precision.

Step 2: Confirming the Number of Chickens

The customer wanted to maximize poultry house utilization while maintaining efficient operation and management.

After technical discussions, the target capacity was confirmed at more than 75,000 layer chickens.

Step 3: Confirming the Cage System Solution

Based on the poultry shed dimensions and stocking target, HIGHTOP engineers recommended:

• 5-tier H type automatic layer cage system
• 6-row layout design
• Automatic feeding system
• Automatic drinking system
• Automatic manure removal system
• Central egg collection system

The final design successfully achieved a capacity of 75,456 birds.

Step 4: Central Egg Collection Line Design

The central egg collection system became one of the most technically difficult parts of the project.

The engineering team repeatedly revised the layout drawings to optimize:

• Conveyor line routing
• Equipment spacing
• Egg transfer efficiency
• Worker operating convenience

After multiple revisions, the final egg collection line reached approximately 78 meters in total length.

The customer was highly satisfied with the final design result.

Step 5: Confirming the Manure Processing Machine

To improve poultry house hygiene and manure management efficiency, the customer also confirmed the manure processing equipment configuration.

Phase Three: Building Customer Trust

A Three-Month Communication Process

Large poultry farming projects require strong trust between supplier and customer.

This project involved approximately three months of continuous communication before the order was officially confirmed.

Demonstrating Product Quality

To help the customer fully understand HIGHTOP equipment quality, detailed product information was introduced.

Key quality advantages included:

• Cage mesh hot-dip galvanization after welding
• Zinc coating exceeding 400g/m²
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy sheet materials
• Longer service life compared with ordinary galvanized steel

For poultry farms operating in humid environments, corrosion resistance is extremely important because equipment durability directly affects long-term operating costs.

Demonstrating After-Sales Service Capability

The customer also paid close attention to after-sales support capability.

HIGHTOP introduced its international after-sales service system and explained that regular farm visits are arranged after project completion.

For this project, HIGHTOP already planned a future after-sales service visit in August 2026.

This long-term support commitment significantly increased customer confidence.

Demonstrating International Industry Presence

HIGHTOP also shared its international exhibition participation experience.

The company participates in approximately 4–6 international agricultural exhibitions every year, helping customers understand HIGHTOP’s global market presence and industry reputation.

For many international customers, participation in international trade shows is an important indicator of supplier strength and long-term stability.

Fast Communication Despite Time Difference

Although China and Colombia have approximately a 12-hour time difference, HIGHTOP maintained rapid communication throughout the project process.

Fast response speed greatly improved customer experience and accelerated project confirmation.

Phase Four: Contract Signing & Prepayment

After technical confirmation and project approval, the customer officially signed the contract and arranged the prepayment.

However, for HIGHTOP, confirming the order is only the beginning of the service process.

The company immediately arranged:

• Production scheduling
• Material procurement
• Quality inspection
• Packaging inspection
• Delivery coordination

Every production process was carefully controlled to ensure product quality and shipment accuracy.

Phase Five: Shipment Delivery

Before shipment, HIGHTOP carefully confirmed all product names with the customer to ensure smooth customs clearance in Colombia.

To guarantee transportation safety and improve unloading efficiency, the shipment process included:

• Strict packaging inspection
• Combined large and small package arrangement
• Clear package labeling system

The labeling system helped workers quickly identify and transport products during unloading and installation.

Phase Six: Colombia Customs Clearance Process

The customs clearance process in Colombia was relatively complex.

The packing list needed to be revised multiple times because Colombian customs regulations require extremely detailed product descriptions.

Even assembly tools needed to be individually listed on the packing documents.

Fortunately, through close cooperation between HIGHTOP and the shipping agent, the customs clearance process was completed successfully.

This is also one of HIGHTOP’s advantages in international poultry farming projects. Besides equipment production, we also help customers solve practical shipment and customs clearance problems to ensure projects proceed smoothly.

Phase Seven: Installation Process

After the equipment arrived in Colombia, the customer hired a local Colombian installation team.

This installation team performed exceptionally well throughout the project.

During the entire installation process, they raised only a few technical questions, demonstrating both the team’s experience and the high installation precision of HIGHTOP equipment.

The complete project installation took approximately 50 days.

Efficient installation not only reduced labor costs, but also allowed the poultry farm to begin operation earlier.

Phase Eight: Chicken Loading

After installation completion, the customer completed chicken loading within only two days.

The customer expressed strong satisfaction with:

• Product quality
• Cage structural stability
• Automatic system performance
• Overall project execution

The successful operation further strengthened the customer’s confidence in HIGHTOP.

Phase Nine: New Inquiry for Six Additional Poultry Sheds

Following the successful completion of the first project, the customer soon requested quotations for six additional poultry sheds.

The new inquiry includes:

• Automatic cage systems
• Steel structure poultry houses
• Additional poultry automation equipment

Procurement is expected in August.

This repeated cooperation fully demonstrates the customer’s recognition of HIGHTOP’s product quality and project capability.

An Unexpected Cooperation Opportunity

This project not only received strong praise from the customer, but also brought HIGHTOP a new cooperation opportunity with the Colombian local installation team.

Besides installation services, this team is also a local poultry cage manufacturer and cage supplier in Colombia.

As professionals in automatic poultry equipment, they understand every detail of cage structure, component quality, and production standards.

After participating in this project, they gave HIGHTOP equipment extremely high praise from a professional perspective.

Future Cooperation Opportunities

It is worth mentioning that the owner of the Colombian installation company has already shown strong willingness for future cooperation with HIGHTOP.

Over the past three months, HIGHTOP has already completed five quotations for this partner.

This new cooperation opportunity is a direct reflection of HIGHTOP’s product quality and professional service capability.

HIGHTOP firmly believes that reliable quality creates trust, and trust creates long-term cooperation opportunities.
