Heavy-duty commercial kitchen equipment manufactured for global distributors, wholesale importers, and hospitality procurement teams requiring high thermal efficiency and extreme durability.
Founded in 1974 by Shri J. Bhawarlal Bohara and expanded globally under Managing Director Mr. Rakesh Bohara, BOHARA Group stands as an authoritative pioneer in high-grade stainless steel cookware manufacturing and global distribution.
Equipped with state-of-the-art heavy hydraulic presses, multi-layer impact bonding technology, and automated surface polishing lines, our manufacturing infrastructure produces over 500+ commercial SKUs designed to endure the extreme thermal and chemical demands of busy restaurant kitchens.
An authoritative analysis on metallurgical advancements, energy-saving bottom constructions, and global supply chain dynamics for commercial kitchenware procurement managers.
Traditional single-ply cookware suffers from severe thermal hot spots that scorch delicate commercial sauces. Modern procurement trends heavily favor 3-Ply and 5-Ply clad materials (SS 304 interior + Pure Aluminum core + SS 430 magnetic exterior). This structural sandwich delivers rapid heat conductivity (up to 50% faster thermal spread) while retaining heavy-gauge durability needed for continuous 18-hour daily restaurant shifts.
With global commercial kitchens transitioning away from gas lines due to rising energy costs and indoor ventilation regulations, magnetic induction-ready cookware has become mandatory. BOHARA integrates high-permeability AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel encapsulation discs onto stockpot bases, reducing electric induction energy consumption by up to 32% compared to standard cookware.
Commercial longevity is defined by joint integrity. Commercial restaurant buyer specifications now demand high-tensile stainless steel double/triple riveting combined with hollow cast handles that dissipate heat, keeping handle grip temperatures below 45°C during prolonged boiling. Smooth interior rivet heads eliminate food particle traps to maintain strict HACCP standards.
Selecting the appropriate steel alloy is critical to optimizing equipment lifespan, corrosion resistance, and total cost of ownership (TCO) in commercial foodservice environments.
| Steel Alloy Grade | Composition (Cr / Ni) | Corrosion Resistance | Induction Magnetism | Thermal Conductivity | Recommended Commercial Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AISI 304 (18/8 - 18/10) | 18% Cr, 8-10% Ni | Exceptional (Acid/Salt Resistant) | Non-Magnetic (Standard) | 16.2 W/m·K | Stockpots, Sauce pans, Steamers, Hotpots, Storage Containers |
| AISI 316 (18/10+Mo) | 18% Cr, 10% Ni, 2% Mo | Maximum (High Chloride/Brine) | Non-Magnetic | 16.3 W/m·K | High-saline cooking pots, seafood boilers, pharmaceutical equipment |
| AISI 430 (18/0) | 18% Cr, 0% Ni | Moderate (Standard Moisture) | High Magnetic | 26.1 W/m·K | Encapsulated bottom bases for induction cooktops, exterior cladding |
| AISI 201 (15/1) | 15% Cr, 1% Ni, High Mn | Basic (Indoor Dry Use) | Non-Magnetic / Slight | 15.0 W/m·K | Budget tableware, decorative candy dishes, dry buffet trays |

Answers to critical technical, chemical, logistical, and OEM manufacturing questions asked by global commercial cookware buyers.
Our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom-branded or custom-stamped commercial cookware is 500 units per SKU. For catalog stock items with standard BOHARA branding, we accommodate trial orders starting from 200 units per SKU to support market testing for regional distributors.
AISI 304 stainless steel contains 18% Chromium and 8-10% Nickel, rendering it highly resistant to chemical oxidation, organic food acids, and high-saline liquids. In contrast, 201 stainless steel substitutes manganese for nickel; while cheaper, 201 steel is prone to pitting, rust, and surface degradation under intense commercial washing and acidic cooking environments.
We utilize high-pressure 1,500-ton friction impact bonding to fuse a 4.0mm - 6.0mm pure aluminum disk between the 304 stainless steel pot body and a magnetic 430 stainless steel protector plate. This seamless weld prevents air pockets, ensures 100% flat contact with induction hobs, and eliminates base separation even under extreme thermal shock.
Yes, BOHARA offers complete OEM/ODM engineering services. Our in-house tooling division can develop custom deep-drawing dies, specialized handle molds, and custom laser-engraved branding within 20 to 30 working days from technical drawing sign-off.
Our products comply with international food contact regulations, including FDA 21 CFR 175.300, EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, LFGB standards, and CE certification for all electrified commercial water boilers and heating equipment.
Each commercial cookware piece is individually wrapped in scratch-resistant polybags, enclosed in heavy-duty custom-molded EPE foam buffers, and packed into 5-ply double-wall corrugated export master cartons. Palletized shipments are stretch-wrapped and corner-protected to guarantee 0% transport damage.
Standard lead time for a full 20ft or 40ft High Cube container shipment is 30 to 40 calendar days after deposit receipt and final artwork approval. Expedited production slots are available for recurring OEM contract partners.
We implement a strict 4-stage Quality Control pipeline: Incoming Material Spectroscopy (IQC), In-Process Stamping & Weld Testing (IPQC), Surface Polish Inspection (FQC), and Pre-Shipment Container AQL 2.5 Sampling (OQC).
