Chinagama innovatively uses RPET material to manufacture salt and pepper mills, making them recyclable and more environmentally friendly -

Chinagama has been my partner ever since we first met at the Frankfurt Trade Fair in 2016. At first, I wasn’t very interested in them because our company already had a reliable supplier. Although we weren’t working together, I still frequently received greetings and their latest product catalogs from them—even when I hadn’t placed an order for some time, not even a sample order. It wasn’t until 2019, when our original supplier could no longer guarantee quality and delivery times, that I immediately thought of Chinagama. They quickly confirmed my sample order, and the subsequent mass production went very smoothly. We remain steadfast partners to this day.

There’s not much more to say. I think the fact that I’ve chosen Chinagama as my company’s pepper grinder supplier for nine years speaks for itself. During that time, they’ve helped me address issues such as product updates, packaging changes, and shipping efficiency. Most importantly, I truly admire their innovative capabilities.

Q1: Do your pepper and salt grinders meet food safety standards?
Yes, Chinagama products are certified by LFGB, FDA, BRC, and CE. If you need food-grade certifications for other regions, we can also provide them. -
Q2: What materials are available for OEM salt and pepper grinder manufacturing?
We work across a full range of materials — single or multi-material combinations — depending on your target market, usage setting, and price point:
Stainless steel (18/8 food-grade): premium, modern aesthetic — ideal for hospitality brands and everyday durability
Wood (beech, acacia): warm, classic styling — preferred for European gourmet, gifting, and homeware ranges
Glass (high-borosilicate): visibility and contemporary appeal — especially popular for paired sets and premium gifting
Plastic / Acrylic (food-grade PMMA/PC): budget-friendly, customizable color finishes — suited for high-volume retail and promotional programs
For grinding mechanisms, we offer three options — ceramic, high-carbon steel, or POM — each with different performance profiles and price tiers. Share your target customer and positioning, and we'll recommend the right combination. -
Q3: Can you develop fully custom grinder designs?
Custom OEM design is our core business. With over 400 patents and a dedicated 17-person R&D team, we support the entire customization process—from structural design and 3D engineering modeling to mold development and pilot production. We provide products that are truly unique to your brand, not generic off-the-shelf items. -
Q4: Do you offer single mills, sets, or multi-piece formats?
We offer all three. We develop single grinders, sets, and multi-piece collections—depending on your brand positioning and sales strategy. -
Q5: Can you develop matching kitchen products beyond grinders?
Yes. If you’re building a broader kitchen or tableware collection, we can develop complementary products based on our existing product lines—including oil and vinegar dispensers, manual coffee grinders, spice grinders, and more—ensuring the entire collection remains consistent in design language, materials, color schemes, and brand style. -
