New geometry not previously produced?
Many OEM programs begin with new geometry. With 60+ owned molds, 200+ customer molds under management, multi-pass deep drawing capability, and DFM review, we assess whether your stainless shell can progress from sampling to serial production.
RFQ package should include:
- Engineering drawing or dimensional sample photos with critical dimensions
- Annual volume tiers and target delivery window
- Material grade, thickness, surface finish, and compliance market
- Critical mating and quality features: hub interface, weld load capacity, rim circularity, or cosmetic acceptance criteria
SGS / RoHS / REACH documentation available on request for qualified OEM programs.
Program overview
Surface finish defines how a stand mixer bowl looks on shelf and how it cleans in use. We run spray coating, brushed (hairline), electrolytic polish, mirror polish, matte/frosted, and water transfer print on deep-drawn stainless bowls — specified per zone when food-contact and exterior cosmetics differ.
Finish routes we support
- Spray coating — exterior color or protective coats aligned to your brand palette and durability notes
- Brushed / hairline — controlled directional grain for retail stainless aesthetics
- Electrolytic polish — bright, cleanable surfaces with process control for consistency
- Mirror polish — high-reflectivity cosmetic tiers for premium SKUs (often interior or select faces)
- Matte / frosted — low-glare satin look for fingerprint-friendly exteriors
- Water transfer print — pattern or decorative layers where your artwork and adhesion spec allow
Call out food-contact vs exterior requirements in the RFQ. We can combine routes (for example brushed exterior + polished interior) when the drawing and sample board define zones.
Sampling finishes before volume Finish disputes are costly after launch. Prefer a signed sample panel or T1 cosmetic board with the agreed grade. Same bowl geometry can carry different finish SKUs for private-label lines.

| Handle options | Single handle, dual handles, custom handle geometry + weld route | Material | SS201 / 304 / 316 per program |
| Program type | Existing-tooling variant or new-tooling from your drawing |
Compliance & documentation
We support appliance and HORECA OEM programs with ISO 9001-aligned QC, material traceability, and third-party tests (LFGB, FDA-oriented food contact, RoHS, REACH) coordinated per purchase order. See our Quality & compliance section for the full documentation matrix.

Drawing-based OEM programs — not retail or ex-stock catalog parts.
- Can this part be ordered as shown from inventory?
- No. Each page is a reference program that documents forming capability on comparable tooling. Your part is evaluated from the engineering drawing or sample — geometry, depth, and mating interfaces may differ.
- Can you manufacture a geometry you have not produced before?
- Yes. Many OEM programs begin with new geometry. We assess DFM, tooling route, and whether the stainless shell can progress from sampling to serial production.
- What inputs are required for a quotation-ready RFQ?
- Engineering drawing or dimensional sample photos, annual volume tiers and target delivery window, material grade / thickness / finish and compliance market, plus critical mating and quality features such as hub interface, weld load capacity, rim circularity, or cosmetic acceptance criteria.
- How are MOQs and lead times determined?
- MOQs and schedules are program-specific. Provide volume tiers and required delivery windows so we can align cavity count, tooling, and production planning.
- Do you provide compliance documentation?
- SGS / RoHS / REACH and food-contact oriented tests can be coordinated per qualified program and purchase order. Request the documentation matrix applicable to your target market.
- Is this website intended for household retail purchasers?
- No. We serve appliance brands, sourcing companies, and B2B importers on OEM deep-drawing and stamping programs.
