Merrychef traces its roots to 1950, when the business began as Max-Arc & Electrics, and it later became part of Enodis plc and then Manitowoc Foodservice. The company's history includes early commercial microwave ovens, convection and combination microwave ovens, and its patented Planar Plume Technology for rapid cook ovens.

Its product lines include the eikon and conneX ranges of high speed ovens, with the conneX models designed to be ventless and compact, along with accessories such as cavity liners, trays, bowls and containers. Customers can use an online oven selector, an energy cost calculator and a Ready Recipes platform with step-by-step guides and recipes that can be uploaded to the oven. The compact eikon e2s model is designed for cafés, coffee shops, sandwich bars and delis, and the company has supplied speed ovens to Subway.
