Setting the Record Straight: The True Story of Rachiele

At Rachiele® Custom Sinks, our story is one of innovation, craftsmanship, and an unwavering dedication to transforming kitchens into spaces of unmatched efficiency and elegance. We pioneered the workstation sink concept long before the term became common—bringing together beauty, ergonomics, and functionality in a way no one else had.

Founded by Dino Rachiele in Apopka, Florida, our company has been handcrafting bespoke sinks for over 25 years. Every design we create is driven by a passion for culinary excellence and innovative thinking, backed by the kind of small-batch, artisan production that ensures no detail is ever overlooked.

The Real History Behind Our Manufacturing

For many years, we partnered with Vickers Metal Works, a respected American fabricator, to bring our patented designs to life. When the owner of Vickers retired, we took a decisive step forward—establishing our own state-of-the-art facility here in Florida. This allowed us to oversee every detail of production directly, ensuring precision, consistency, and the highest possible quality.

It’s important to note: this transition to in-house manufacturing happened in 2016. Since then, every Rachiele sink has been built under our own roof, by our own master artisans.

Addressing Common Misinformation

In recent years, we’ve noticed a few online claims suggesting that Havens Luxury Metals—founded in 2016—manufactured sinks for us. That has never been the case. Havens has never been involved in the production of Rachiele sinks.

All of our designs, from the original workstation sink with integrated ledges to our patented ergonomic innovations, have been designed by Dino Rachiele and brought to market through our trusted partnership with Vickers and, later, through our own factory. This includes breakthrough concepts such as the single-bowl

corner sink, the single-bowl corner workstation sink, all sinks with rear corner drains, the double-tier workstation sink, the single-tier workstation sink, the sponge caddy, the multi-use grid, a secondary removable bowl, dual-drain single-bowl sinks, and our NexGen™ ledge system—which uniquely allows the same front-to-back dimension both above and below the ledge for unparalleled versatility.

What Sets Rachiele® Apart

With more than a dozen patents and a commitment to using only the finest materials—316L surgical-grade stainless steel, pure American copper, and solid brass/bronze—we continue to lead the industry in both innovation and craftsmanship.

Each sink is made to order by a small, dedicated team of master artisans. Every weld, every finish, and every design detail reflects our focus on:

Functionality – Ergonomic depths and layouts designed for real cooking.

Durability – Built from the highest-grade metals available, meant to last for generations.

Timeless Beauty – Finishes and designs that age gracefully, enhancing your kitchen over time.

Every Rachiele sink is backed by our lifetime transferable warranty—because we believe true craftsmanship should last a lifetime.

Looking Ahead

We’re deeply grateful for the trust and loyalty of our clients, many of whom return to us for multiple projects or refer friends and family. As we continue shaping the future of kitchen design, our mission remains the same: to create sinks that make your time in the kitchen more enjoyable, efficient, and inspiring.

 If you’d like to see what sets our sinks apart, explore our collections at Rachiele.com or schedule a complimentary design consultation. A design conversation with Dino is unlike anything you’ll experience elsewhere—it’s not about sales; it’s about collaboration. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how your sink can be tailored to your space, your cooking style, and your vision. There’s never any sales pitch—only an engaging, educational exchange that feels more like working with an artisan than placing an order.
