Premium Commercial Cookware
Time Tested. Chef Approved.
At our very core, we are a cookware company. Many things have changed over the last 150 years, but one hasn't: Vollrath's commitment to producing some of the finest commercial cookware in the world.
Lightweight yet durable, our aluminum cookware provides professional performance at a lower price point for the best value.
Our Wear-Ever ® and Wear-Ever ® Classic Select lines are constructed of 3004-Series aluminum that is fortified with manganese and magnesium for impact resistance that far surpasses that of your average aluminum cookware. The Arkadia ™ line is built from heavy-gauge 3000 aluminum.
When it comes to heat conductivity, aluminum cookware shines – pulling heat up the sides of the pot or pan quickly and evenly.

Carbon steel handles high heat better than aluminum and conducts heat more rapidly than stainless steel. Chefs love it for its versatility — it’s compatible with ovens, broilers, grills and all cooktops, including induction.

Choose Vollrath for quality craftsmanship, renowned durability, and legacy earned through a century and a half of excellence.
Built to the Highest Standards. Yours.
Serious chefs hold their cuisine to a high level of expectations. After all, each dish that leaves their kitchen is a representation of them. We view our cookware the same way.
Each piece of Vollrath cookware is born only from materials that meet our strict standards. Thoughtfully designed and built to last, our products have become synonymous with quality. And we've earned that reputation from those who have to earn theirs.
The Start of Something Spectacular
Creating a memorable dish can be painstaking work. From sourcing ingredients to dialing-in technique, every last component is scrutinized until it is perfected. After investing all that time and energy into recipe development, settling for a one-size-fits-all piece of cookware just doesn't make sense.
You need the right tool for the job – a piece of cookware that feels like it was made for you. That's why we have taken the time to produce wide-ranging lines of cookware that incorporate a host of materials, sizes, finishes, and price points, giving you the freedom to select a piece of cookware that specifically fits your application.
The Pans That Built the Brand
It's difficult to find a company with a century and a half of staying power. That's because it's even harder to find products that stand the test of time like ours.
Since 1874, we have been honing the craft of constructing reliable cookware that excels in professional kitchens.
A lot of trends have come and gone in the last 150 years, but Vollrath has remained.
