Manufacturing · Forging & Metal Forming
We draw cups and shells that nobody else will touch, and buyers think we only make steel utensils.
Deep drawing is a skill with a long learning curve: draw ratio, annealing between stages, lubricant, wrinkling. A shop that has solved a hard part has an advantage that a buyer cannot see from the outside.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Deep drawing pulls a flat sheet blank into a die to form a hollow shape with no welded joint, such as a cup, can, shell or housing, in stainless steel, aluminium, brass or mild steel. GullySales helps deep drawing shops show the depth, diameter and materials they handle, so buyers of hollow parts know to send them a drawing.
The shop knows what it can draw. The buyer, searching for a shell or a housing, does not know it exists. That gap is where the sales work lies.

Who it is for
This is written for you if deep drawing is what you make or sell.
- Deep drawing shops making stainless steel, aluminium and brass hollow parts
- Units supplying kitchenware, pressure vessels, lighting and electrical housings
- Shops with multi-stage drawing presses and in-house annealing
- Units that spin, trim, polish or weld the drawn part
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A shop that outsources all tooling and annealing and cannot control the process
- A unit seeking pressure-vessel work without the certifications the buyer will ask for
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of deep drawing.
Depth, diameter and wall thickness
The engineer's first check is whether the part is drawable by your presses. A table of the deepest and widest draws you have made answers it.
Material and annealing
Stainless, aluminium and brass behave differently. The buyer asks what grades you draw and how many stages the part needs.
Surface finish and polishing
Kitchenware and lighting buyers want a clean surface with no draw marks. They look at the sample first.
Tooling cost across stages
Multi-stage dies add up. A buyer wants the number of dies, their cost and who owns them.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell deep drawing.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“We only sell to utensil makers and it is a crowded field”
The shop has capability for industrial shells and housings but no buyers there.
“Customers want the sample before they pay for tooling”
The shop cannot afford to make samples for every enquiry. It has no rule for which ones are worth it.
“A hard part we drew is not on our website”
The shop's best evidence sits in a drawer. No buyer can see it.
The scope
The work we would propose for deep drawing.
Measured on qualified enquiries, quotation requests, follow-up on each quotation, trial orders won and repeat orders. Anything here that needs a platform, directory or tool we have not used with you is confirmed with you before it goes in the scope.
- A draw-capability pageThe deepest, widest and thinnest-walled parts drawn, by material, with a photograph of each.
- Prospecting among industrial buyers of shells and housingsLighting, pump, filter, electrical and process-equipment makers who buy drawn parts.
- A sample policy for enquiriesA short rule for which enquiries justify a sample: drawing received, annual quantity stated, buyer's role known.
- Quotation follow-up through the sample stageA call plan that runs from first quote to sample approval.
- Listings by part shapeCups, shells, cans and housings, each with material and size range.

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before we talk.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Press list and stages available
- Hardest part drawn and how many stages it took
- Materials and platings handled
- Photographs of parts, before and after finishing
- Recent enquiries and the ones that were declined
Export and new regions
Selling deep drawing beyond your home market.
Where you sell decides standards, documents, payment terms and freight. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new region we start from your own enquiries, your existing buyers and the directories you already use.
Importers of drawn components
Overseas makers of lighting and process equipment buy drawn shells from India through agents. Your export enquiries tell you whether you are in this channel.
Samples and freight
Samples of hollow parts are bulky to ship. Agree who pays before you make them.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
