Wholesale 201 Stainless Steel Pan 3.0mm Heavy Gauge
- Base Thickness: 3.0mm Heavy-Duty
- Application: HORECA & Commercial Kitchens
- Induction Disc: Full Bonded Stainless Steel
Engineered for high-efficiency induction cooktops, Scandinavian retail requirements, and heavy-duty HORECA commercial applications.
Norway represents one of the world's most ecologically discerning, quality-demanding cookware import markets. Driven by stringent environmental directives from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) and European Chemical Agency (ECHA) updates regarding REACH Annex XVII restrictions, commercial procurement officers and retail brand managers across Norway (from Oslo to Bergen and Trondheim) face a monumental shift in supply chain compliance. Legacy nonstick coatings featuring perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including PFOA, PFOS, and GenX compounds, are undergoing rapid phase-outs across Scandinavian retail shelves.
As a global Tier-1 cookware manufacturer operating across 3,500+ specialized factory personnel with over three decades of OEM/ODM export history, our industrial facilities provide Norwegian importers, B2B distributors, and HORECA suppliers with certified non-stick solutions. By bridging high-pressure die-cast aluminum engineering, tri-ply stainless steel metallurgy, and advanced Sol-Gel mineral ceramic coatings, our manufacturing framework delivers maximum thermal efficiency alongside absolute regulatory safety.
To meet the safety expectations of Scandinavian consumers and the commercial durability needs of Norwegian professional kitchens, our production lines adhere strictly to multi-jurisdictional testing frameworks:
100% silica-based inorganic mineral coatings cured at 400°C, offering thermal stability up to 450°C without toxic fume release (PTFE/PFOA/PFOS-free).
Certified compliant with European Food Contact Materials Regulations (EC) No 1935/2004 and German LFGB 30 & 31 heavy metal leaching limits.
Full documentation traceability for Norwegian import clearance, ensuring zero chemical migration during acidic food cooking (salmon marinades, berry sauces).
In Norway, residential and commercial kitchens rely almost exclusively on high-efficiency induction cooking infrastructure driven by renewable hydroelectric power. Standard stamped aluminum frypans frequently suffer from base warping, thermal hotspots, and inductive acoustic humming when subjected to high-wattage Scandinavian induction hobs (2,500W to 3,700W boost zones). To solve these technical bottlenecks, our manufacturing plants utilize specialized metallurgical bonding technologies.
Selecting the optimal substrate determines the thermal conductivity, mechanical longevity, and weight profile preferred by Scandinavian end-users:
| Substrate Type | Metallurgical Composition | Base Thickness Range | Induction Efficiency Index | Primary Norwegian Target Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Die-Cast ADC12 | High-density molten aluminum alloy | 5.0mm – 7.0mm cast base | 98.5% Full Surface Diffusion | Premium Retail Chains & Gourmet HORECA |
| Forged Aluminum 3003 | High-purity wrought aluminum alloy | 3.5mm – 4.5mm forged base | 94.0% Impact Bonded Disc | Mass Retail & Supermarket Brands |
| 3-Ply Tri-Ply Stainless | 304 SS (Interior) + Alum + 430 SS (Base) | 2.5mm – 3.0mm clad wall | 99.2% Direct Clad Conduction | Commercial Kitchens & Industrial HORECA |
| Commercial Cast Iron | High-carbon gray cast iron | 4.0mm – 6.0mm solid cast | 96.8% High Thermal Retention | Steak & Seafood Searing Institutions |
To eliminate bottom deformation under sudden thermal shock (such as rinsing a 200°C hot pan under cold 10°C Norwegian tap water), our automated presses utilize high-tonnage friction-welded 430 magnetic stainless steel plates. This process embeds the stainless steel disc directly into the aluminum substrate structure, guaranteeing:

Addressing compliance, minimum order quantities (MOQ), shipping timelines, and technical customization for Norwegian procurement teams.
Yes. All our non-stick coatings are engineered to comply fully with Norwegian Mattilsynet standards, EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, and REACH Annex XVII chemical safety guidelines. We offer certified 100% PFAS-Free Sol-Gel ceramic coatings as well as PFOA/PFOS/GenX-free PTFE multi-layer systems. Complete laboratory test reports from accredited third-party labs (SGS, TÜV, Intertek) are provided with every batch.
For standard die-cast or forged aluminum non-stick frypans with custom exterior colors and private label retail packaging, our standard MOQ starts at 1,000 units per size/color. For 3-ply stainless steel or commercial cast iron cookware, flexible MOQs of 500 units per SKU are available to accommodate specialized Norwegian B2B distributors and boutique retail collections.
Our frypans feature heavy-gauge friction-welded 430 magnetic stainless steel induction discs (4.5mm to 6.0mm total base thickness). This engineering guarantees 98%+ induction energy transfer efficiency, zero bottom bowing or warping under high temperature (up to 280°C), and silent thermal operation without high-frequency inductive humming on hobs from Miele, Electrolux, or Bosch.
Typical manufacturing lead time for standard OEM orders is 30 to 40 days following sample approval. Maritime transit from our export ports to Port of Oslo, Larvik, or Bergen averages 28 to 35 days.
