Why Brands Choose Us

Built for the First 500, Not the Last Container

Inside the Foundry

Six Lines, a Danish DISA Molding Core and a QC Gate at Every Step

The Danish DISA automatic molding line produces consistently hard, precise sand molds, which is where surface quality and batch-to-batch uniformity start. From there, every order passes a fixed quality route before packing.

  • Molding and casting on six production lines, DISA automatic molding for the core sand molds.
  • Demolding, polishing and edge finishing with precision grinding before any coating.
  • Seasoning or enamel glazing with salt-spray and rust protection checks, plus enamel pinhole and thermal shock tests on glazed lines.
  • Resting and inspection through the full cast, coat and settle route; standard runs finish in 35 to 55 working days, complex custom in 45 to 60.
  • Pre-shipment proof: full inspection photo and video set before loading, SGS or CCIC third-party inspection on request (1 to 2 days, book ahead).
  • Packing: moisture-proof inner bags, drop-tested outer cartons and pallets with clear marks and batch numbers for warehouse scanning.

Manufacturer FAQ

Terms, Timelines and Compliance, Answered Up Front

What is the MOQ for custom cast iron cookware?

Fully custom designs on a new mold start at 500 pcs. Standard public-mold items and light customization such as your logo, color box or hangtag on an existing mold start at 1,000 pcs. The 500 pcs threshold is built for startups and small brands launching their own line.

How do mold fees and confirmation samples work?

If a new mold is needed, the mold fee is prepaid with the order and includes 2 free confirmation samples. Small tooling starts at $150 and a new mold takes about 30 days. Your exclusive molds and Pantone formulations are stored at the factory free of charge, and repeat orders carry no additional mold fee.

What are the sample and production lead times?

Custom samples on a new mold take 25 to 35 working days. In-stock samples ship within 3 days, or up to 15 days when an item is not in stock. Standard mass production runs 35 to 55 working days, and complex custom orders 45 to 60 days. Third-party inspection adds 1 to 2 days when booked in advance.

What are your payment terms?

T/T: 40% deposit to start production and 60% balance against the bill of lading copy, released after you confirm the pre-shipment inspection photos. Any new mold fee is prepaid together with the order.

Which certifications and inspections do you support?

Products are tested to FDA and LFGB food-contact standards, with reports supplied for your compliance file. The factory is BSCI-audited. SGS or CCIC third-party inspection is supported on request, and every order ships with a full inspection photo and video set.
