Kitchen furniture to Oman: Stainless steel + wood combinations, bulk purchase prices

Turkish manufacturers exporting kitchen furniture to Oman have seen significant opportunities, particularly in recent years, driven by the growing demand for tourism infrastructure, educational institutions, and new housing projects. This has led to a surge in demand for commercial kitchen furniture used in hotel kitchens, hospital dining halls, university canteens, and luxury residences in developing regions like Muscat, Salalah, and Duqm, the capitals of Oman. Companies based in Turkey, particularly in Kocaeli, Bursa, and Istanbul, are developing solutions focused on both aesthetics and functionality by offering stainless steel and natural wood combinations in this market. Among the leading exporters are Stainless Kitchen Inc., Proline Mutfak, Kitchener, Marmara Mutfak Sistemleri, and Nova Steel. These companies collaborate with private construction companies and furniture distributors on Oman's government projects. Stainless Kitchen Inc. specializes in stainless steel production and uses AISI 304 grade stainless steel. Proline Mutfak specializes in modular systems and exports these systems on a project-by-project basis. Kitchener offers OEM production capabilities and custom-manufactures for Omani brands. Marmara Mutfak Sistemleri is known for its high production capacity for large-scale projects. Nova Steel specializes in metalworking and cutting. These companies share a common ground: they place great importance on stainless steel and wood combinations. Omani customers particularly prefer hygienic, durable, and aesthetically pleasing kitchen furniture. Therefore, manufacturers use a combination of AISI 304 stainless steel with natural wood veneer or laminate MDF. Stainless steel is preferred for under-cooker cabinets, sink units, worktops, and refrigerators because it is hygienic, easy to clean, and resistant to moisture. Wood, on the other hand, is used for cabinets, wall units, and exterior finishes because it adds a warm touch and aesthetic value. This combination complements both modern and traditional architecture. Products are generally manufactured in modular systems and exported flat-packed. This packaging reduces transportation costs by 35 to 45 percent. All products are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001 quality standards and undergo a hygienic surface treatment. In addition, some projects require BS 5852 fireproofing test and hygienic surface certificate. Bulk purchasing prices are as follows as of 2025: Stainless Steel Worktop (120x70x85 cm): Between 330 and 410 USD for single piece purchase Under-Stove Cabinet (60x60x85 cm): Price per piece is 190 to 260 USD Sink Unit (90x60x85 cm): Between 270 and 360 USD Wood + Stainless Steel Cabinet (100x50x200 cm): Between 580 and 720 USD Modular Kitchen Set (6 units): Between 2,400 and 3,100 USD for bulk purchases. Prices are applied with an 18 to 25 percent discount for bulk purchases (50 pieces and above). Some companies offer extra discounts or provide installation support for project-based purchases. Additionally, a free sample product or an Arabic user manual is included with your first order. Sea transportation is the preferred logistics method. Products are loaded from the ports of Kocaeli or Istanbul and delivered to the ports of Muscat or Salalah within 10 to 14 days. Required documents for export include a certificate of origin, a health report, Arabic labeling, a customs declaration, and project approval. Additionally, some government projects require an ISO 9001 quality certificate and a hygienic surface certificate. In terms of consumer preferences, Omani customers prioritize hygienic construction, durability, aesthetic design, and modular systems. Their color preferences include high-gloss stainless steel, light wood tones, and beige. Application areas include hotel kitchens, hospital cafeterias, school canteens, restaurants, and private residences. For manufacturers wishing to export, focusing on stainless steel and wood combinations, collaborating with local distributors, and using flat-pack packaging offers significant advantages. Turkey's quality and export experience in kitchen furniture production provide a strong foundation for establishing a permanent presence in this market.
