Serving tray sourcing from India.
Serving trays overlap retail-décor and hospitality-FF&E programmes. Formats run from everyday mango-wood trays with brass handles to premium marble pieces for luxury-table styling. Asia Sourcing covers both — retail SKU development and hospitality contract runs under the same operation.

Food-contact and finish-safety
Serving trays carry food-contact spec requirements that decorative trays don't. Food-safe lacquers on wood, food-safe interior finishes on brass (tin-lining for serving-to-hot-food), LFGB / EU 1935 declarations attached per PO. We clarify at brief whether a SKU is served-food-direct or served-food-via-plate — the two drive different finish specs.
