These parts are manufactured overseas and supplied to our customer on a blanket as-released purchase order basis. We originally supplied this 10 X 1/2 phil pan hi-lo in plain 316 stainless steel material but at some point our customer needed additional corrosion resistance in their application. At that point we had our inventory supply barrel plated to the pictured chrome finish and all future imported parts would come in already chrome plated. Domestic chrome finish, whether barrel plated or individually racked, typically has a much brighter finish than the finish found on large volume imported parts.
