Company Profile

If you’re a collector of U.S. historic memorabilia, one of your prized “finds” could well be enamel cookware in the distinctive “Polar White” color that originally gave our company and our early products their name - POLAR WARE. Your oldest treasure would date back to 1907, the year the Polar Ware Company was founded and began making the first in a proud line of quality-crafted products.

Our family-owned business continued to grow as we expanded our technologies and services to meet the increasing demands of our customers. In 1926 Polar Ware became one of the pioneering companies in the industry to manufacture deep-drawn stainless steel products.

Four generations and nearly a century later, we are now an international company with a global distribution network. Today the Polar Ware name, featuring our traditional “Polar Bear” logo, is the mark of enduring quality and strength for our customers worldwide.

Polar Ware’s products range from steam table pans and covers, chafers, stock pots, mixing bowls, bain maries and insets, kitchen utensils, sinks, medical smallwares, instrument trays and covers, along with many other original equipment components.

Our products are used by various food service and medical industry professionals. The majority of our stainless steel products are NSF listed or certified with other professional organizations.

Polar Ware takes great pride in the excellent quality you will receive with each piece of stainless steel equipment purchased. The Polar Ware Company is proud of the professional service you will receive from our customer service department. When calling to order a product or ask a question, our customer service team will always be quick to help or find an answer for you.
