Stainless Steel Gastronorm

Our stainless steel Gastronorm pans are made from 18/10 gauge metal for excellent heat conduction and long‑term durability. Available in sizes from GN 1/9 to GN 1/1, you’ll also find perforated versions for steaming, draining or cooling. Ideal for ovens, grills or heated display units.

Clear and Black Polycarbonate Gastronorm

Designed for cold food storage and display, our clear polycarbonate containers allow quick identification and attractive viewing. The black polycarbonate options are stylish and practical for buffet and front‑of‑house use. Available with airtight lids for long‑term freshness.

Araven range: Containers and lids

We feature the Araven brand of stackable food containers and matching silicone or polypropylene lids. These are perfect for chilled storage and transport—airtight, robust, and clearly labelled.

Flexepan Silicone Gastronorm

For flexible storage and baking, our Flexepan silicone Gastronorm trays are heat‑resistant, non‑stick, and easy to clean. Ideal for pastry prep, portioning or display. They fit standard Gastronorm racks and ovens.

Gastronorm Racks & Stands

Our selection of Gastronorm racks and stands includes countertop pan‑holders and multi‑level stands in stainless steel. Options include enclosed racks and open designs for efficient storage, transport or buffet presentation.

Gastronorm explained: sizes and benefits

The Gastronorm standard allows modular planning of kitchen workflows. A full-size GN 1/1 tray can be replaced by combinations of smaller GN pans (eg GN 1/2, GN 1/3, GN 2/3 etc) to maximise space and flexibility. 

Common depths range from 20 mm (shallow) to 200 mm (high capacity), meaning the same footprint can serve various portion or volume needs.

This interoperability means your containers, lids, racks and kitchen appliances all stay compatible, saving time and minimising waste. Our clear product labelling and range of accessories ensure you can mix and match sizes confidently.
