Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical lead time?
Standard production takes 3-5 working days depending on complexity and quantity. Sample lead time is 3 days; large-volume or deeply customized orders add about 5 days. Your exact schedule is confirmed in the quotation.
Do you offer powder coating?
Yes, we offer powder coating services in various colors and finishes for non-food-contact surfaces.
Do you handle both cutting and bending in-house?
Yes – laser cutting and CNC bending are both done in our factory, so sheet metal parts move from cutting to forming to welding without outsourcing. See our laser cutting and bending services.
Can you prototype before batch production?
Yes. Samples are ready in 3 days, so you can validate a design before committing to volume – see our custom order and lead time page.
What is the minimum order quantity?
One unit. Prototypes, single replacements, and small batches are all accepted – at every customization level.
Do you ship sheet metal products internationally?
Yes – worldwide shipping with DDP door-to-door to the US and EU. Our packaging and shipping page covers how sheet metal parts are packed for export.

Our Sheet Metal Fabrication Process
Automatic welding station for repeat parts.
Zibo Cook’s sheet metal fabrication service covers the complete manufacturing process from flat sheet to finished product. We start with material selection, helping you choose the right grade and thickness for your application. Our inventory includes common stainless steel grades in various thicknesses, allowing us to start production quickly once the design is finalized.
The fabrication process typically involves several steps: laser cutting or shearing the sheet to size, CNC bending to form the required shapes, welding to join components, and finishing operations such as grinding, polishing, or brushing. We coordinate these steps efficiently to minimize handling time and ensure consistent quality throughout the production run.
Design Support for Sheet Metal Parts
Not every client comes with complete engineering drawings. We frequently work with clients who have a general idea of what they need but require technical assistance to develop the design. Our team can help with material selection, gauge recommendations, bend allowance calculations, and design for manufacturability. We can work from sketches, samples, or verbal descriptions to create parts that meet your requirements.
For clients who need custom enclosures, panels, brackets, or other sheet metal components, we offer design assistance to optimize the part for efficient fabrication. Small changes in design can sometimes significantly reduce production costs without affecting functionality, and we are happy to share our manufacturing expertise.
Finishing Options
We offer a range of surface finishes for sheet metal parts, including #4 brushed finish, mirror polish, satin finish, and powder coating. The choice of finish depends on the application and aesthetic requirements. For commercial kitchen equipment, #4 brushed finish is most common as it provides a good balance of appearance, cleanability, and cost. We can also apply protective films for parts that need surface protection during transport and installation.
We understand that every project is unique, which is why we take a flexible approach to sheet metal fabrication. Our team works with you to understand your requirements and develop a fabrication plan that meets your specifications, budget, and timeline. Contact us to discuss your sheet metal fabrication needs.
