Reliova connects U.S. industrial buyers with vetted Chinese manufacturers — backed by hands-on engineering evaluation, U.S.-based support, and accountability you can reach by phone.
Three things that separate a technical partner from a general trading intermediary.
We evaluate products at the technical level — datasheets, tolerances, certifications — before we ever introduce a supplier to you.
Reliova operates as the U.S. point of contact for a manufacturer my own family has run since 1991 — not a third-party broker adding a markup layer. You get the same factory economics as buying direct, plus local language, time zone, and accountability.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area. When there's a question, a problem, or a warranty claim, you're talking to a local team, not a general inbox overseas.
Reliova is run by an engineering delivery leader, not a trading desk. Over 14+ years managing cross-border product execution — including building a China-based engineering delivery team from the ground up and running ODM/OEM vendor relationships for a U.S. technology company — I bring the same discipline to Reliova: rigorous vendor vetting, clear quality gates, and direct accountability from order to delivery.
On the product side, the domain expertise comes from where it should: a manufacturer my family has operated since 1991, producing precision oilfield equipment for over three decades — mechanical, electronic, and software systems, including controller boards, communication modules, host software, and a cloud monitoring platform. The electronics and software layer is where my own background lines up directly: 14+ years leading delivery for embedded, connected-device, and cloud-managed products. My role is making sure that expertise translates cleanly to U.S. buyers — no miscommunication, no dropped details, no surprises.
We identify and technically qualify Chinese manufacturers for your specific application, reviewing specs, certifications, and production capability before recommending a fit.
Ongoing support after the sale: troubleshooting, documentation, and communication with the factory on your behalf, in your time zone.
For Chinese manufacturers: U.S. market entry support, including local representation, English technical documentation, and direct buyer introductions.
The manufacturing partner holds a 90%+ share of China's domestic wellhead and casing torque instrument market, built on proprietary non-marking connection technology, multiple patents, in-house precision sensors and actuators, and multiple drive options (hydraulic and electric). Full end-to-end systems — mechanical, electronic, and software — spanning torque instruments, test benches, weighing & length measurement systems, and explosion-proof (Ex-rated) equipment for hazardous environments. Backed by over 30 years of manufacturing experience and a loyal repeat-customer base.
| Market position | 90%+ share of China's wellhead & casing torque instrument market |
| Product range | Torque gauges & tongs, test benches (torque, pull, tension), tubing/casing weighing & length measurement systems, explosion-proof (Ex-rated) instruments |
| Mechanical innovation | Proprietary non-marking (tooth-free) grip technology; hydraulic & electric drive options; sensors & actuators manufactured in-house |
| Electronics & software | Controller boards, local & long-distance RS-485/RS-232, wired & wireless communication, graphical host software, reporting, database, and a torque-instrument cloud platform |
| Customization | Mechanical, electrical & controls — non-standard specs on request |
| IP | Multiple patents on mechanical and connection technology |
| Standards | Designed to API-compliant specifications; specific U.S. project requirements assessed case-by-case |
| Target region | Permian Basin & U.S. Gulf Coast — independent tubular running service companies |
The non-marking connection technology alone protects premium pipe and thread surfaces that standard tongs can damage — one of several patented innovations behind the manufacturer's dominant position in its home market. From explosion-proof instruments for hazardous zones to full testing and measurement systems, every unit is evaluated against real oilfield operating conditions, not just a datasheet.
Talk to a Technical ContactSeven equipment categories, from handheld torque gauges to full automated production lines. Below is the range; the oilfield torque control line above is where Reliova currently focuses U.S. sales.
Tubing/casing tong torque recorders, make-up machine torque recorders, and calibration recorders — from handheld gauges to touchscreen and laptop-integrated systems.
Non-marking hydraulic power tongs, tubing/casing coupling make-up machines, and multi-drill-pipe combination pre-tightening machines.
36° rotating and continuous-rotating drill pipe/tool handling racks, plus mobile racking units sized from 7" to 20"+.
Tubing and casing end swaging (sizing) machines for precise end-form preparation.
Hydraulic power stations sized for field deployment and fixed shop installations.
Full tubing and casing automated production lines for OEM and mill-scale processing operations.
An extensive catalog of mechanical and electrical components and spares — not a limited parts list, but ongoing support for equipment already in the field.
Products in use across major Chinese oilfields and tubing/casing mills, with exports to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, Japan, and the United States.
This is a manufacturing partner with 30+ years and a broad catalog — if your application falls outside the oilfield torque line, ask. We'll tell you honestly if it's a fit.
Send your specs, application, and timeline. No account required, no obligation.
We check certifications, tolerances, and production capability against your requirements.
One U.S.-based point of contact for questions, updates, and warranty issues.
The manufacturer holds a 90%+ share of China's domestic wellhead and casing torque instrument market, built over 30+ years with a loyal base of repeat customers — market leadership at that level doesn't happen without consistent quality. Every product Reliova recommends is also technically evaluated against datasheets, tolerances, and specifications before it reaches you.
Lead time depends on the product and order volume. Standard torque and tubular handling equipment typically ships within 4-8 weeks of order confirmation. The manufacturer also takes on custom mechanical, electrical, and controls work for non-standard applications — those timelines depend on scope and we'll give you a specific estimate after reviewing your requirements.
You contact Reliova directly, in the U.S. — not the factory overseas. We handle troubleshooting, documentation, and warranty coordination on your behalf, in your time zone.
No. Reliova isn't a third-party broker adding a markup on top of factory pricing — we operate as the U.S. point of contact for a manufacturer my own family has run since 1991. You get factory-level pricing, plus the parts that are hard to get buying direct: English-language communication, U.S. business hours, and someone accountable on this side of the ocean.
Reliova is a U.S.-based technical sourcing agent. We work directly with a Chinese manufacturer — including a family-operated precision equipment factory established in 1991 — to give U.S. buyers engineering-level evaluation and local accountability without the markup of a multi-layer broker network.
Yes. The product line includes explosion-proof (Ex-rated) torque instruments designed for hazardous-zone oilfield environments, alongside standard equipment. Let us know your area classification requirements and we'll confirm fit.
Yes. Beyond standalone gauges, the manufacturer offers a torque-instrument cloud platform with graphical host software and reporting, plus local and long-distance connectivity (RS-485/RS-232, wired and wireless) for field deployments that need remote visibility.
Yes. For serious inquiries, we can arrange an in-person factory visit or a live video walkthrough of the production floor. We'd rather you see where the equipment is made than take our word for it.
Oilfield tubular handling and torque control equipment is our current focus and the area where we have the deepest direct manufacturing relationship. We're open to discussing other industrial equipment categories on a case-by-case basis — reach out to see if it's a fit.
