Browse our selected range of industrial-grade kitchen mixers, smart thermostatic shower structures, and high-performance sealing materials designed to meet the rigorous specifications of global commercial markets.
In contemporary architectural plumbing and global supply chains, the choice of material for kitchen fixtures defines the longevity, sanitation safety, and life-cycle cost of the project. Stainless steel, specifically AISI 304 and 316 alloys, has emerged as the definitive benchmark for premium kitchen faucet configurations. Unlike traditional brass faucets that require electroplating—which can break down over time and release trace heavy metals—stainless steel faucets provide a lead-free, non-toxic, and corrosion-resistant fluid path.
AISI 304 contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, providing exceptional resistance to oxidation and chemical sanitizers. For highly saline environments or coastal real estate developments, AISI 316 with 2% molybdenum is deployed to mitigate pitting corrosion. Under ODM pipelines, validating raw chemical composition via Spectro-analysis ensures the structural integrity of the casting.
Stricter regulations like California's AB1953 and NSF/ANSI Standard 61 mandate that the wetted surface of pipes and fixtures contain less than 0.25% lead. Solid stainless steel components intrinsically meet these requirements, bypassing complex copper alloy smelting processes and eliminating chemical leaching risks.
FUJIAN UNIK INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD is situated in Nan’an City, widely recognized as the preeminent hometown of water heating and plumbing hardware in China. Operating our own high-capacity faucet factory alongside a specialized PTFE thread seal tape manufacturing plant, we run optimized production lines designed to support bulk customization (ODM/OEM) for global distributors.
Our technical expertise spans product development, visual design, custom mold engineering, and rigorous pressure testing. Through vertically integrated manufacturing facilities, UNIK delivers:
Nan'an, located in Fujian Province, represents the largest sanitary ware cluster in China. Sourcing kitchen and bath hardware from this region provides global buyers with structural supply chain advantages that go beyond lower unit costs:
The Nan'an cluster hosts a highly specialized ecosystem of metal refineries, stamping factories, toolmakers, and packaging facilities. This dense concentration allows manufacturers to source high-grade raw materials (like AISI 304 ingots) and technical components (like Neoperl aerators or Kerox cartridges) locally, minimizing transit delays and supply shocks.
With access to CNC machinery, 3D metal prototyping, and automated mold design, manufacturers can translate a conceptual CAD layout into a cast-metal, high-pressure tested prototype in 15 to 21 working days.
By utilizing robotic multi-axis polishing and automated Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) chambers, factories reduce human error in finishing, improve color uniformity, and output millions of units annually to keep pricing competitive.
Unit prices vary based on materials, certification marks (CUPC, CE, WRAS), custom packaging, and order volumes. Below is a detailed technical reference price sheet for procurement planning.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Single-Lever Mixer | AISI 304 Stainless Steel, Brushed Finish | 35mm Ceramic Disc (500,000 runs) | 500 | $12.50 - $16.80 |
| Pull-Out Commercial Faucet | AISI 304 + Nylon Braided Pull-out Hose | Sedal (Spain) / Neoperl Aerator | 300 | $22.00 - $29.50 |
| Touchless Smart Induction Tap | AISI 304 + Solenoid Valve + Sensor Box | Bi-stable Solenoid (6V Battery pack) | 200 | $38.50 - $48.00 |
| Marine Grade Acid-Resistant Tap | AISI 316 Premium Grade Steel | High durability Kerox Cartridge | 100 | $45.00 - $60.00 |
| Zinc-Alloy Economic Series | Zinc Outer Body, Brass Waterway insert | Local Ceramic Core Option | 1000 | $6.80 - $9.20 |
The global sanitary industry is moving toward smart, resource-efficient, and aesthetically diverse products. Understanding these shifts helps procurement managers and brand owners position their inventory for high margins:
While classic brushed steel remains popular for its fingerprint resistance, demand is growing for PVD matte black, gunmetal gray, brushed gold, and rose gold. PVD coatings provide excellent scratch resistance, maintaining their finish under harsh cleaning chemicals.
Modern kitchens often utilize a single fixture for hot, cold, and filtered drinking water. This dual-waterway system prevents filtered water from mixing with unfiltered tap water, keeping counters clutter-free and simplifying installation.
Motion sensors and touch activation reduce water waste and help limit the spread of kitchen contaminants. Upgraded ODM designs also incorporate temperature-responsive LED displays that indicate water temperature to prevent accidental scalding.
Kitchen faucets must perform reliably across different environments. We design and manufacture our hardware to meet the specific demands of diverse installation scenarios:
In modern residential projects, fixtures must match overall interior design trends. Pull-out sprayers with dual-mode sprays (stream and sweep) are standard features. We ensure our residential faucets install quickly with stabilizing deck plates and standard plumbing connections.
Commercial settings require durable construction and quick maintenance. Our commercial models feature reinforced coil springs, heavy-walled steel castings, and easily replaceable cartridges, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Salty ocean air and high humidity accelerate corrosion. In these environments, standard brass or lower-grade steels can fail quickly. We utilize premium AISI 316 stainless steel to ensure long-term corrosion resistance for marine installations.

UNIK products are manufactured under ISO 9001 systems and meet international safety, environmental, and mechanical performance standards, facilitating smooth customs clearance and local market acceptance.
Successful plumbing sourcing depends on consistent product quality, reliable delivery schedules, and clear regulatory compliance. UNIK supports international buyers through structured B2B service workflows:
We offer laser logo etching directly onto faucet bodies, as well as customized master cartons and drop-test-approved internal packaging. We can also print localized user manuals and barcoded retail boxes to match your brand requirements.
Every batch undergoes critical inspection steps: composition analysis of incoming steel, high-pressure air leak tests (0.8 MPa), hydro-pressure cycle tests, and post-polishing thickness measurements to ensure reliable performance.
Our factory near Xiamen port supports FOB Xiamen, CIF, DDU, and DDP shipments. We help optimize container space by coordinating mixed shipments of faucets, angle valves, and PTFE tapes to reduce your shipping costs.
