Custom Wire Airpot Racks
Angola Wire manufactures custom airpot racks for coffee service providers, beverage brands, and foodservice equipment companies that need hundreds or thousands of identical units. Each wire airpot rack is engineered around your airpot model, compartment count, and counter footprint, then formed, welded, and finished in our U.S. plants. Production runs are where our process does its best work, and where the per-rack price makes the most sense.
Planning an Airpot Rack Rollout?
Send us your airpot model, the number of compartments you need, and your target quantity. Our team will review the design and return a quote for your production run.
A Rack Built for Your Airpots, Not the Closest Catalog Size
Most stock airpot racks are designed around one equipment brand’s pot diameter, so a different airpot sits loose or won’t drop in at all. A custom airpot rack starts with the pot you actually serve from. We size each compartment to its base and height, account for push-button or lever-style pumps, and set the spacing so staff can lift and return a full pot without catching the one beside it.
Single-row racks keep a low profile on a buffet line. Two-tier racks lift the back row so every brew label stays visible on a self-serve counter. We build either one, or a layout matched to a cabinet cutout or service window your locations already have.
Drip trays can be formed from sheet steel and designed to lift out for cleaning. If your accounts already use a standard tray, the rack can be sized to sit over it instead.
An airpot display rack in a lobby or break room is also a sign. Laser-cut header panels, holders for brew labels, and a powder coat color chosen to fit your brand turn the station into part of your program instead of generic equipment.
Most wire airpot racks are formed from carbon steel wire and powder coated for a hard, wipeable surface. Zinc plating suits settings where bright metal fits the look, and stainless steel wire is an option for operators who want bare metal that holds up to constant cleaning.
Why Custom Airpot Racks Make the Most Sense at Volume
Most of the cost in a custom rack sits at the front of the job: engineering the design, building forming and welding fixtures, and approving the first production pieces. After that, every additional rack runs through the same setup. That is why we focus on production quantities. A larger run spreads the upfront engineering across more units and brings the per-rack price down to where a custom design competes with a stock one.
Volume also protects consistency. When racks are headed to 400 office break rooms or 60 hotel lobbies, every unit has to hold the same airpots the same way. Fixture-based production gives you that repeatability across the full order and the reorders that follow.
The buyers we build custom airpot racks for usually look like this:
- Office coffee service providers outfitting client break rooms with one standard station.
- Coffee roasters and beverage brands placing branded airpot display racks with wholesale accounts.
- Foodservice equipment brands sourcing a private-label rack to sell alongside their airpots, through our OEM manufacturing work.
- Hotel, convenience store, and restaurant groups rolling out a single station design across many locations.
If your first order is modest but a larger rollout is planned, share both numbers when you request a quote so we can price the program as a whole.
How We Build a Custom Airpot Rack Order
Design and production happen in the same plant, so questions about fit and finish get answered by the people making the rack.
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Specification | Send the airpot model or a sample pot, the compartment count, target quantity, and any branding requirements. |
| Engineering | Our engineering and design team turns that into a production drawing and confirms fit before any wire is formed. |
| Forming & Welding | CNC wire forming bends each wire to the same profile, and resistance welding joins the frame. |
| Finishing | Powder coating or zinc plating is applied in-house. |
| Inspection & Shipping | Racks are checked against the approved design, then packed for delivery, with fulfillment support available for programs that ship to more than one location. |
An American Airpot Rack Manufacturer Since 1960
Angola Wire has formed and welded wire products in Angola, Indiana, since 1960, with a second production location in Keosauqua, Iowa. That work includes retail fixtures, foodservice wire forms, and custom wire and steel shelving for commercial kitchens and cold storage. The details that matter on a coffee station, such as how a loaded wire shelf carries weight and whether a finish survives daily wipe-downs, are familiar ground for our team.
Domestic production also keeps the relationship simple. You talk directly with the people engineering and building your racks, and reorders are scheduled with the same plant that ran the first order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We size each compartment to the base diameter, height, and pump style of the airpot you use. Sending a sample pot or the manufacturer’s dimensions is the fastest way to confirm fit before production.
Custom airpot racks are built for production quantities, because the engineering and fixturing behind each design are spread across the full run. Larger orders bring the per-rack cost down. Contact our sales team with your target quantity and we will quote it.
Powder coating is the most common finish, giving a durable, easy-to-clean surface in a range of colors. Zinc plating is available for a bright metal look, and racks can also be built from stainless steel wire.
Yes. Branded header panels, holders for brew labels, and a powder coat color chosen to fit your brand can all be built into the design. These details are settled during engineering, before production starts.
Lead times depend on the design and the size of the order. Our sales team provides an estimated lead time with your quote so you can plan your rollout around it.
