OEM & Contract Manufacturing for Insulated Drinkware
HYV produces insulated stainless steel drinkware under other companies' brands alongside its own range. If you need bottles, tumblers or coffee mugs manufactured to your specification in India, this is the route.
What HYV actually is
HYV manufactures insulated stainless steel drinkware in India at 50,000+ pieces per month, sells its own range direct, and produces under other brands. That combination matters when you are choosing a partner: a company that ships its own product to consumers carries the quality risk itself, which is not true of a trading house that only fulfils other people's orders.
The range in production covers 470 ml to 2 litres across bottles, tumblers and coffee mugs, with screw, sipper, chug, flip, straw and MagSafe magnetic lids. HYV makes BIS-certified bottles, under IS 17526:2021, India's standard for vacuum insulated stainless steel containers.
What contract manufacturing involves that branding does not
A specification, not a selection. Capacity, wall construction, lid mechanism, finish, packaging. Where you do not have a view, we will propose one from what is already in production — which is usually the faster and cheaper answer than starting from a drawing.
Tooling, where the product is genuinely new. A new lid or an unusual body shape carries a one-time cost and a lead time before the first unit exists. Adapting something already in production avoids both, and is worth exploring before committing to bespoke.
Certification is per product. If your specification differs materially from a certified model, the certificate does not travel with it. This is worth settling early rather than discovering at launch — it changes what you can claim on your own packaging.
Volume sets the price, and the honest minimum is higher than for branding: 500 units per SKU under your own brand, against 25 for your logo on an HYV product. Timelines are quoted on brief because they depend on the spec.
The routes, from lightest to heaviest
| Route | Whose brand | What changes | Minimum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logo engraving | Yours, on our product | The mark only | 25 units |
| Co-branded | Both marks | Branding, packaging | 25 units |
| Custom colourway | Yours | Brand-matched colour on an existing body | 1,000 units |
| White label | Yours alone | Our product, your identity throughout | 500 units per SKU |
| OEM / contract | Yours alone | Your spec, your tooling decisions | 500 units per SKU |
Worth saying plainly: most enquiries that open with "contract manufacturing" are better served by the first two rows. If your product does not need to differ from what is already in production, branding an existing model gets you to market in a fortnight instead of a quarter.
How to check any manufacturer, including this one
Ask what they reject, and why. A manufacturer has a rejection rate and a reason for it. A trading house has a supplier it can forward the question to. This single question sorts the field faster than any certificate.
Ask to see the line, or a video of it. Directories are full of listings that are three photographs and a phone number.
Ask what the lead time becomes in October. Everyone quotes a quiet-season figure. Festive congestion is where sourcing plans actually fail.

Product, volume, target cost and timeline. If a spec sheet exists, mention it and we will ask for it. We reply within 4 business hours.
Insulated and stainless steel water bottle manufacturing — and why the search term matters
If you searched "water bottle manufacturer in India" and landed here, it is worth knowing that the phrase mostly returns a different industry. Bare "water bottle manufacturer" is dominated by PET and packaged water — blow-moulding plants, preform suppliers and people pricing filling machinery, concentrated around Noida, Kanpur, Agra and Indore. None of that is this.
Add one word and the industry changes. Insulated water bottle manufacturers and stainless steel water bottle manufacturers return the metal-engineering clusters — Rajkot, Coimbatore, Chennai — where double-walled vacuum drinkware is actually made. That is the business HYV is in.
What we manufacture, stated as a specification rather than a claim: double-wall vacuum insulated 304 (18/8) stainless steel, bottles, tumblers and coffee mugs from 470 ml to 2 litres, with screw, sipper, chug, flip, straw and MagSafe magnetic lids, at 50,000+ pieces per month. HYV makes BIS-certified bottles, under IS 17526:2021, the Indian standard written specifically for vacuum insulated stainless steel containers. Certification does not travel to a materially different specification.
What we do not make, so nobody wastes a call: PET or plastic bottles of any kind, glass-lined thermoses, and pour-spout carafe flasks. Those are different materials on different tooling. If your brief is packaged water or a banquet carafe, we are the wrong factory.
Vacuum flask manufacturing
A vacuum flask and an insulated bottle are the same thing described two ways: two walls of stainless steel with the air drawn out between them, so heat has nothing to travel through. If you have been searching for a flask manufacturer in India, that is what this production line is.
We manufacture vacuum flasks in bottle, tumbler and coffee mug formats from 470 ml to 2 litres, in 304 (18/8) food-grade steel, with screw, sipper, chug, flip, straw and magnetic lids. HYV makes BIS-certified bottles, under IS 17526:2021, the Indian standard written specifically for vacuum insulated stainless steel containers.
What we do not make, so nobody wastes a call: pour-spout carafe flasks and glass-lined thermoses. Those are a different construction on different tooling. If your brief is a tea-and-coffee carafe for a hotel banquet, we are the wrong factory; if it is a personal-carry insulated bottle, tumbler or mug, we are the right one.
