Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
1 unit. Material and fabrication orders follow the same low-threshold policy as our finished equipment.
How fast can you deliver?
Standard production runs 3-5 days for most material and fabrication orders; large batch or special-finish jobs add about 5 days.
Do you provide material certificates?
Yes – mill test certificates are available for every grade we supply, documenting composition so your quality team can verify on arrival.
Which grade should I choose between 201, 304, and 316?
201 for budget indoor dry use, 304 as the food-service standard, 316 for salt and acid exposure. Our guides on 201 vs 304 and 304 vs 316 cover the trade-offs in detail.
Do you ship to the USA and Europe?
Yes – we ship worldwide with DDP door-to-door service to the US and EU. Customs clearance and duties are handled by us before delivery.
Are your materials certified for food contact?
Our 304 and 316 stock conforms to food-contact composition requirements, and we do not claim plant-level certifications for fabricated items. If your audit requires NSF-certified equipment, production can be arranged through our partner factory that holds NSF certification; terms are confirmed in the quotation.
