JKG Co., Ltd. (CEO Jae-Gyu Lee), a leading specialist in kitchen drains and sink bowls, will launch its new ‘OKEE All-Stainless Coated Drain’ at the end of July. Known for its OKEE square sink bowl and BELLAGO brands, JKG has over three decades of expertise in developing and manufacturing kitchen drainage systems. With this new product, the company sets a new standard for premium drains by enhancing hygiene, durability, and design.

A key feature of the ‘OKEE All-Stainless Coated Drain’ is the full application of an advanced anti-fouling coating, fundamentally addressing the corrosion and contamination issues that have plagued conventional drains. All components, including the upper cover and strainer basket, are made from pure 304 stainless steel and finished with this protective coating, meaning the product retains its hygiene and structural integrity even after extended use. Unlike many other products on the market which use ordinary stainless steel and accumulate stains or are difficult to clean, this new drain significantly minimizes water scale and dirt adhesion, making it much easier to keep clean. Water marks and foreign substances on the surface are easily wiped away, reducing daily maintenance concerns for busy households.

The standardized modular design allows compatibility with a range of kitchen sink bowls, supporting simple installation and replacement. The drain is manufactured through precision machining for robust assembly and a high degree of sealing performance, while a sophisticated metallic finish and premium design aesthetics ensure seamless integration with various interior styles. Consumer interest in kitchens has shifted in recent years, placing increasing value not only on functionality but also on visual appeal and ease of maintenance. JKG is focusing on products that excel in practicality, design, and hygiene to meet these evolving expectations.

The global kitchen and drainage market has witnessed steady growth in recent years. Demand for top-quality, durable, and beautiful products is consistently rising, with premium materials such as stainless steel, advanced coatings, and modern design now in the spotlight. Demand for high-end drains with easy maintenance is expanding rapidly in new construction, remodeling sectors, hotels, and restaurants. Industry trends include the introduction of smart features, eco-friendly materials, and customizable designs. JKG continues to strengthen its product competitiveness in line with these trends.

CEO Jae-Gyu Lee stated, “The OKEE All-Stainless Coated Drain thoroughly addresses the inconveniences of previous products that lacked coating. It sets a new benchmark for premium drains that meet the highest standards for hygiene, durability, and design.” He added, “We will continue to expand our premium built-in kitchen lineup and focus on quality-driven product development.”

JKG plans to keep introducing a wide range of built-in kitchen products tailored to consumer needs, steadily expanding its presence in domestic and international markets through a commitment to quality and reliability.
