First-tier manufacturing specifications designed for premium architectural and commercial projects globally.
In modern commercial architecture and high-end residential kitchen design, the structural integrity of plumbing fixtures is paramount. 16 Gauge stainless steel (approximately 1.5mm in thickness) represents the gold standard for heavy-duty sink manufacturing. Compared to thinner alternatives such as 18 Gauge (1.2mm) or 20 Gauge (0.9mm), 16 Gauge steel delivers 25% more thickness, providing exceptional resistance to denting, thermal shock, and acoustic resonance.
Our company, Henan Yigen Kitchen & Bathroom Co., Ltd., is a leading comprehensive supplier focusing on the manufacturing and global export of handmade stainless steel sinks, pull-out baskets, faucets, and integrated kitchen solutions. Our 50,000 square meter facility employs advanced manufacturing processes to deliver unmatched precision, reliability, and cost-efficiency to our global trade partners.
Not all stainless steels are created equal. The foundational chemical composition dictates the product's lifespan and corrosion resistance. We source premium SUS304 Stainless Steel, configured to meet or exceed strict international material standards:
By combining 16 Gauge thickness with certified SUS304 composition, our factories produce sinks with superior tensile strength and resistance to acid-based food compounds, household chemicals, and mechanical stress.
The global construction and remodeling supply chains require absolute reliability, scalability, and adherence to production schedules. At Henan Yigen, we operate under the principles of **Industry 4.0**, utilizing automation to balance high throughput with micron-level tolerance management.
Our facility features fully automated laser cutting systems, robotic arm welding stations, and CNC pressing machinery. By replacing manual tolerances with digital precision, we maintain consistent R10 and R0 corners on all handmade sinks, reducing the possibility of micro-fissures or thin spots in the steel.
By working directly with tier-one domestic steel mills, we secure stable access to high-grade steel coils. This protects our customers from volatile market pricing and ensures every sheet utilized meets uniform density and chemical composition profiles.
This level of vertical integration allows us to achieve scale efficiencies that optimize costs for B2B buyers without sacrificing material quality. With over 700 production workers and 25 R&D staff, we easily adapt to large-scale municipal, hospitality, and residential procurement runs.
The kitchen sink has evolved from a basic utility basin to a highly integrated culinary workstation. Our engineering roadmap focuses on three technological frontiers:
Explore our focused product lines engineered for durability and contemporary design aesthetics.
Daily life starts from the kitchen. Our handcrafted series of premium 16-gauge stainless steel sinks and matching utility baskets are built to deliver structural permanence. Utilizing satin and brushed finishes, our products easily resist standard wear while maintaining an elegant, high-tech aesthetic.
Our comprehensive technical pipeline ensures your specifications translate flawlessly into bulk production.

6. Sample Testing
7. Mass Production
In international distribution, achieving a stable product supply relies heavily on strict compliance frameworks and localization logistics. B2B procurement professionals must navigate varied domestic building codes and quality assurance requirements.
All 16 Gauge stainless steel products manufactured for North American export undergo testing aligned with ASME A112.19.3/CSA B45.4. This guarantees that parameters such as material gauge, lead content in faucets, and drain sizing meet UPC and cUPC codes. Similarly, European markets are supported with full CE compliance certification.
We employ multi-layer, drop-tested packaging (ISTA 3A standards) designed specifically to handle container vibrations and multiple handling points. Every shipment features custom styrofoam casing, edge protectors, and individual heavy-duty carton packing to eliminate transport damage, protecting bottom-line margins for distributors.
