ASEAN's kitchenware supply base
Thailand has supplied global houseware brands with stainless steel cookware and utensils for decades. Vietnam adds ceramics, bamboo and wooden kitchen products. Malaysia contributes silicone and plastic kitchenware with strong process control. For retailers and DTC brands, the region offers food-contact-capable factories without China concentration.

Food-contact compliance is the entry ticket
EU 10/2011, LFGB and FDA 21 CFR food-contact testing must come from accredited labs, per material and per production change. For ceramics, lead and cadmium leaching tests are the classic failure point. For wooden products, moisture control and food-safe finishes determine whether stock arrives mould-free and compliant.
