The workshop
Inside the Gujranwala workshop where every Pasban mug, jug and water set is pressed and packed.
Pressed, polished and packed in Gujranwala
Everything we sell is made in one building. The steel arrives as flat sheet, is pressed on the same machines we have run since 1998, and leaves as a mug, a plate or a water set. Nothing is bought in and rebadged.
We work in 304 and 202 stainless. 304 — often called 18/8 — is the food-grade alloy used for anything that holds a drink or a meal, because it does not pit, does not hold a smell and does not pass anything into what is in it. Where a piece is structural rather than in contact with food, we use 202, which is harder and cheaper, and we say so on the product page rather than letting you assume.
Every piece is finished by hand. A machine can press a mug in seconds; it takes a person to see that the rim is clean and the base sits flat. That is the step most factories skip, and it is the reason a Pasban mug does not rock on a table.
