Jack Lu works on international marketing and industry content at ReachTop. He writes about container building products, manufacturing, factory quotations and sourcing from China, with a focus on the questions project buyers and dealers ask before placing an order.
His experience includes overseas sales, handling customer enquiries and working on the factory floor. Having worked with both buyers and production teams, he has seen how a customer’s request becomes a manufacturing requirement—and where misunderstandings can arise along the way.
Time in the workshop has also shaped his attention to materials, assembly details and workmanship. These observations help him explain why buildings that look similar in photographs can differ in specification, price and the work required after delivery.
Jack draws on factory observations, product information and conversations with ReachTop’s sales and production teams when preparing articles. His writing covers practical subjects such as comparing container building structures, understanding what a quotation includes, choosing configurations and planning transport and installation.
