At ITW Food Equipment Group, people and food are our passion. We believe great food brings people together,

and the relationships we share feed our inspiration to be the best we can be for one another. As a food equipment manufacturer and service provider, we’ve been dedicated for more than a century to supporting those who are not only passionate about creating great food, but are inspired by the people they serve and come to know on a daily basis. Likewise, it is our mission to provide food equipment that foodservice and food retail professionals can trust to work hard and deliver quality, consistent results day in and day out, empowering them to focus on what they love most—creating great food for great people.

The company's product developments include infrared technology in charbroilers and griddles, finless condenser coils in refrigerators and deliming systems in commercial dishwashers. Across its brands, the company offers nearly 600 ENERGY STAR certified products. Hobart's Advansys energy recovery system captures heat and steam that would otherwise escape as exhaust from commercial dishwashers and uses that energy to reheat incoming water. The SmartConnect365 suite of apps lets operators monitor connected kitchen equipment remotely, with real-time data and alerts. Hobart operates nearly 200 offices, and the group also maintains a dealer and sales network around the world.
