Highly customized, AS/NZS compliant kitchen and bathroom solutions designed to elevate spatial utilization and durability.
Our footprint spreads far beyond domestic markets. Leveraging state-of-the-art automation and advanced metallurgy, we service thousands of overseas buyers, commercial developers, and hardware wholesalers. We integrate engineering precision with architectural insight to design and export kitchen solutions that specifically comply with international structural guidelines, including the strict AS/NZS codes of Australasia.
An authoritative analysis on structural performance, compliance, and material engineering in New Zealand's construction sector.
Under New Zealand's Medium Density Residential Standards (MDRS), residential layouts are rapidly shifting towards smart, compact, multi-level townhouses. This spatial compression has placed intense pressure on the kitchen and scullery design. Standard, unoptimized sink installations no longer fulfill developer demands. Integrating multi-functional drain baskets within compact single and double bowl systems provides critical extra food preparation and drying space, optimizing horizontal surfaces.
Much of New Zealand's residential and commercial infrastructure is built within high-salinity coastal bands (complying with AS 4312 atmospheric corrosivity categories). Standard commercial grades of stainless steel degrade rapidly under these conditions. Our drain baskets utilize premium, high-nickel SUS304 or optional SUS316 austenitic stainless steel, coupled with advanced passivated finishes, mitigating micro-pitting and rust-formation in Wellington, Christchurch, and coastal Auckland environments.
Ensuring compliance with the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) Clauses G12 (Water Supplies) and G13 (Foul Water) is non-negotiable for project specifiers. Drain systems must operate cleanly to prevent foul water back-up. Our workstation sinks and drain baskets are dimensioned to interface flawlessly with local standard 90mm waste outlets and waste disposal units, ensuring sanitary, fast-draining operations that pass building inspector sign-off easily.
Historically, the kitchen sink was viewed as a basic utility vessel. In modern architecture, particularly across Auckland and Queenstown luxury builds, it has evolved into a central food-processing workstation. This functional shift requires a specialized selection of accessories that fit securely onto the sink ledge. An engineered drain basket acts as the bridge. By incorporating precise wire-bending tolerances and silicone bumper systems, our baskets fit securely without scratching high-end PVD colored surfaces. This structural synergy ensures that rinsing, draining, chopping, and waste sorting occur within the perimeter of the sink bowl, significantly lowering moisture damage on composite stone and timber countertops.
Procuring kitchen and bathroom assets requires robust predictability. Leveraging our 50,000 square meter facility in China, we manage every step of the supply chain, from sourcing raw ingots to finishing procedures. This closed-loop fabrication minimizes delays. For our Kiwi distributors and commercial buyers, we coordinate container shipments directly to major hubs, including the Port of Tauranga, Lyttelton Port, and Ports of Auckland. Our logistics pipeline integrates custom clearance paperwork and localized packaging, ensuring that construction schedules are strictly maintained without delay.

Forging exquisite craftsmanship and sharing quality life starts with meticulous attention to detail in wet zones. Our premium drain baskets feature fine structural mesh or rigid laser-cut plate designs that drop perfectly into workstation ledges. Equipped with high-density anti-sliding buffers, these baskets accommodate everything from large vegetable prep to delicate crystal glassware protection, matching modern open-plan Kiwi lifestyles.
Henan Yigen Kitchen & Bathroom Co., Ltd. is a premier, comprehensive manufacturing company focusing on the design, trade, and engineering of handmade sinks, pull-out wire baskets, drain baskets, premium sanitary toilets, and high-performance showerheads. Our overarching objective is to provide developers, architects, and wholesalers with an integrated product ecosystem that minimizes supply chain friction.
By purchasing complete sink, tapware, and drainage accessory packages from a single manufacturing source, developers secure absolute structural compatibility, consistent aesthetic matching (such as identical PVD gunmetal gray or satin gold tones), and significantly reduced administrative overhead.

Select from our range of structural components, PVD color-matched basins, and sanitary hardware.
Focusing on material endurance, structural noise damping, and sanitary surface optimization.
Our upcoming generation of drain baskets and sinks utilizes Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) to fuse a micron-thin ceramic layer directly with the stainless steel substrate. This creates a surface hard enough to resist abrasive scratch damage from heavy pots while ensuring long-term color retention that coordinates perfectly with modern kitchen trends.
To address acoustic reverberation issues in open-plan homes, our sink units feature 3mm extra-thick rubber soundproof undercoats combined with moisture-absorbing condensation barriers. This keeps scullery zones exceptionally quiet, even during intensive high-pressure cleaning cycles.
By treating steel meshes with hydrophobic, oil-resistant coatings, we ensure that water droplets bead and run off rapidly. This treatment prevents hard water spot build-up and limits biofilm accumulation on kitchen organizers, significantly reducing cleaning requirements.
