Third-party inspection at a Chinese factory

Home/About/Our team

Buyers, not traders.

Every person who specifies, inspects or expedites your equipment ran projects, engineering or regional sales for an international equipment major before joining SBCCO-China. They read a specification the way the engineer who wrote it intended.

Roger Beman, President and Owner — SBCCO-China
President

Roger Beman

Founded TriAm Industries in Tucson, Arizona in 1988. Since 2006 he has made more than 150 trips to Chinese factories, around ten a year, to make sure suppliers understood what the customer had actually specified — not what was convenient to build. Fluent in English, Spanish and French, which is how three continents of customers ended up dealing with the same person. He is President and Owner of Crimar Industrial and majority owner of Shijiazhuang Beman Commercial Co. Ltd. The difficult orders still come across his desk.
Quality first, quality second, on-time delivery third — and only once all three are met do we talk about price.
