Stainless Metalware, Holloware & Buffetware
Commercial-grade stainless steel holloware — tea and coffee pots, creamers, sugar bowls, chafing dishes and buffetware — built for daily galley use on aircraft and in airline lounges.
AMKO's stainless metalware and holloware range covers the full complement of serving vessels used in airborne and lounge dining: coffee and tea pots, creamers, sugar bowls, sauce boats, bread baskets, ice buckets, chafing dishes, and carving stations. These are fundamentally functional objects — they must pour without drip, stack or nest efficiently in the galley for pre-flight loading, withstand the thermal cycling between chiller and hot-box service, and survive repeated commercial dishwash without deforming or losing their surface finish. AMKO manufactures in both 18/10 and 18/0 stainless, with gauge and wall thickness selected for the specific piece: thicker walls on thermal vessels to maintain beverage temperature across a long-haul service, lighter gauge on bread baskets and display items where weight saving matters. Handles are designed with ergonomics suited to gloved cabin-crew operation, and spouts are precision-formed to control pour rate — relevant for tea service in turbulence. The buffetware and carving-station line is equally suited to airline lounge catering, hotel operations and cruise-ship galleys, giving procurement managers an opportunity to harmonise their ground and airborne serviceware programmes through a single supplier. For GCC carriers that operate first-class and Majlis-style cabin experiences, AMKO's holloware provides the weight and visual solidity consistent with a premium beverage ceremony.
