Engineered to optimize visual shelf space, structural durability, and maximize customer flow pathways.
Founded in 2016, Dongguan Dingguan Metal Products Co., Ltd. (DirectRack) is a technology-driven warehouse and supermarket retail equipment enterprise located in Dongguan, Guangdong Province—the heart of global precision manufacturing. Leveraging 10 years of industry expertise and 8 years of international export background, the company operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant covering 25,000 square meters of building area.
Our annual export revenue consistently exceeds $18 million USD, supplying premium cold-rolled steel storage systems and high-density modular supermarket gondola shelving to worldwide logistics networks and retail enterprises. By operating as a direct-to-enterprise manufacturer, we eliminate intermediary markups, ensuring our clients receive top-tier structural solutions optimized for space utilization, load safety, and long-term wear resistance.
Our core competency lies in our integrated production approach. Unlike regional distributors, DirectRack controls every stage of the product lifecycle—from basic steel shearing and automated punching to electrostatic powder coating and high-precision welding. This continuous quality custody allows us to maintain strict tolerances, deliver consistent custom sizing, and offer global trade and supply chain benefits unmatched in the retail logistics industry.

Why sourcing direct from our industrial facility in Dongguan ensures superior product durability and cost margins.
We source premium Q235B grade carbon structural steel, noted for its excellent balance of ductility, yield strength, and weldability. Unlike cheaper hot-rolled substitutes or recycled scrap metal, cold-rolled sheets provide higher mechanical stress limits. This prevents shelf bowing under high load density and maintains structural integrity across deep grocery displays.
Our upright columns feature high-frequency punched keyhole and teardrop punchings, allowing seamless adjustability without sacrificing the column's lateral load capacity. By using computerized CNC punch lines, we guarantee that pitch spacing remains perfect down to the millimeter, minimizing friction and mechanical instability during multi-tier structural installation.
Prior to electrostatic painting, every steel component undergoes a multi-stage chemical wash and physical shot-blasting process. This strips micro-scale rust, oil, and mill scale, forming a rough profile on the metal surface. The subsequent dry powder application and high-temp curing results in a thick, continuous protective barrier that resists impact scratches and environmental humidity.
DirectRack maintains strict quality governance enforced by 28 specialized QC inspectors. Our quality control framework adheres to international AS4084 (Australian Steel Storage Racking Standard) and OSHA safety standards. We employ structural finite element analysis (FEA) during design phases to predict fatigue points and ensure failure-proof setups.
Our standard product inspection methods include:
By enforcing testing at three critical nodes—raw material arrival, fabrication weld-seam checking, and post-coating batch sampling—we eliminate field alignment failures. This systematic approach guarantees that every double-sided gondola or light-duty pegboard rack meets strict tolerances, eliminating standard commercial liabilities for high-traffic retail environments.
Our automated welding bays run continuous seam tracks, preventing thermal warping and ensuring structural load beams distribute forces evenly across upright frames. Whether storing light cosmetics or heavy dry foods, our systems minimize dynamic shear forces and eliminate vertical collapse hazards.
Unlocking logistics efficiency and offering bespoke modular designs to support high-growth retail operations.
Utilizing a seamlessly integrated OEM/ODM trade background, DirectRack has established strategic alliances with 650 supply chain partners across raw steel sourcing, precision casting, and automated surface treatment industries. This massive resource network gives us structural cost advantages that we pass directly to our international clients.
Spearheaded by 35 senior R&D engineers, DirectRack provides dynamic structural calculation models and fully bespoke modular storage designs. Our team designs custom shelf depth/height ratios, multi-tier mezzanine configurations, anti-seismic bracing for high-risk zones, and custom RAL color palettes to match modern corporate identities.
Our primary export markets include Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. We cater to diverse business scales, from regional supermarket distributors and automotive parts warehouses to commercial FMCG wholesale hubs. Last year alone, we successfully introduced 42 new product designs to accommodate automated warehouse and display setups.
Modern supermarket design relies on maximizing floor area productivity. High-performance retail shelving systems do not merely store inventory; they establish traffic patterns, control customer dwell time, and visually group product segments to cross-promote FMCG lines.
DirectRack provides optimized layout advice using our modular configurations:
Our modular shelf configurations are engineered to prevent grid misalignment. Upright posts accept varying bracket lengths, allowing stores to construct stepped-depth displays that angle products toward the shopper’s natural eye level.
By integrating wire dividers, hooks, and acrylic front risers directly into our systems, stores can reduce shelf restocking times by up to 35%, simultaneously improving visual merchandising coherence and inventory tracking.
Tailored shelving architectures optimized for distinct retail formats, environmental factors, and category demands.
Requires lightweight, modular systems with clean hygienic coatings. Our pharmacy gondolas integrate pegboards and fine-wire hook accessories for hanging merchandise, ensuring high visibility for compact medical packaging.
Demands heavy load limits (up to 150 kg per shelf tier). We provide reinforced double-sided cold-rolled steel gondola racks with dual reinforcement ribs underneath the shelf panels, preventing dynamic stress fractures.
Combines wood-grain aesthetics with high-strength metal framing. Our single-sided and double-sided wood-metal display units blend natural aesthetic warmth with rigid backing panels, perfect for premium organic goods.
Relies on durable pegboards and secure wire grids. Our multipurpose flooring metal pegboard displays handle heavy tools, diagnostic machines, or accessories, keeping high-value stock organized and accessible.
The supermarket shelving sector is transforming rapidly to meet the demands of omni-channel retail. Modern designs must support more than just physical merchandise—they are turning into interactive, data-collecting nodes that optimize the supply chain.
Key technological and ecological developments driving the market include:
DirectRack is committed to helping retail brands achieve net-zero targets. Our manufacturing process uses up to 30% recycled cold-rolled steel scrap, and our electrostatic lines capture and recycle overspray powder to achieve a 98% material utilization efficiency.
Our long-lasting powder coat protection extends the typical hardware lifespan to 15+ years, drastically lowering replacement frequency and overall commercial waste.
In-depth structural and commercial answers to optimize your procurement pipeline and retail layout planning.
We use premium Q235B cold-rolled steel exclusively. Compared to hot-rolled options, cold-rolling refines the steel's grain structure, increasing both yield strength and tensile strength. This ensures our shelf frames do not bend under heavy loads and support consistent retail configurations.
We perform physical loading and deformation tests on both beams and panels in our facility. Every design must achieve a 1.5x safety multiplier relative to its rated capacity before approval, complying with AS4084-2012 steel racking guidelines and OSHA structural rules.
Our electrostatic powder coats maintain a thickness of 60 to 80 microns. The steel undergoes physical shot-blasting beforehand to clear all rust and mill scale, allowing the polyester coating to cure evenly for high scratch and rust resistance.
Yes, our R&D engineering division can custom-engineer dimensions to match unique layouts. We offer comprehensive design services, custom sheet metal thickness specifications, and RAL color-matching to fit your corporate visual guidelines.
All upright posts and steel shelves are packed using multi-layer bubble wrap, edge-protection boards, and heavy-duty shrink wrap. We secure items with cross-strapped wooden pallet crates for sea freight, ensuring everything arrives scratch-free.
Standard production takes 20 to 30 days once design configurations are finalized. Lead times can vary depending on customization requirements, batch volume, and current steel raw material sourcing queues.
