Plan: tell us what you need
What the piece is for, the sizes or a drawing, and where it will stand.
Design: we size the piece
Dimensions, sheet thickness, frame, fittings and finish, designed for easy cleaning.
Quote: everything in writing
Your quotation states the model, materials (including the steel grade), branding, delivery, installation and warranty terms.
Build: fabrication in Ruiru
Stainless sheet and tube are cut, bent and welded in our workshop, and fittings such as taps, wheels, motors or burners are fitted.
