Grote Company

That one time we made 1,800 pizzas for a FAT. When we say "enduring commitment," we mean it. It's all hands on deck until a project is complete and our customers are satisfied. For this FAT, we ran our pizza line for 1.5 hours, making over 1,800 pizzas. We ran until we were all happy with the sauce, cheese, and topping application and lay down. Kudos to our team for living our promise, day in and day out. 💪 #customerappreciation #teamappreciation #foodequipment #foodproduction

The start-up of a new machine or line is a whirlwind. There are so many moving parts—commissioning, integrations, hookups, training, testing (and more testing.) We set you up for success beyond the chaos with parts and service packages that start at commissioning and last up to the first two years. From commissioning and training to parts kits and carts, extended warranties, and follow-up visits at regular intervals. Keep your team and new machines performing with pre-packaged support from our dedicated teams. We got this—together. 🤝 #foodprocessing #foodequipment #foodproduction #maintenance

Did you know you can deliver, commission, and run a new slicer in less time than it takes to find, hire, and train a new worker? ⌛ It takes 36-42 days to fill the average food production worker role. ⌛ Then, another 12 weeks for a new hire to reach full productivity. Our 613 Multi-Slicers have a 30-day lead time. We offer training videos and documentation to support in-person commissioning by our technicians to get and keep running optimally. In less time than it takes to onboard another new worker, you could be bulk slicing, stacking, and shingling meat, cheese, vegetables, plant-based foods, jerky, and more—up to 90 strokes per minute per lane. What are you waiting for? #foodproduction #foodprocessing #foodequipment

Congratulations to our customer MyFOREST Foods on their recent feature in The Washington Post, "Mushrooms are now becoming leather, packaging, bacon, and more."

What could a Grote robot do for you? #foodproduction #foodprocessing #foodequipment #robotics

Like many food processors, The Sandwich King couldn’t find enough workers to handle its high-volume production line. A new Grote depositor for its egg salad sandwiches solved that while increasing output and reducing food waste. “We found the Grote model much more maneuverable and simpler to use than what we’d tried in the past,” said Jason Hirst, operations and production manager at The Sandwich King. “We were sold after about five minutes of running the machine during the trial.” Thank you to ProFood World for featuring this case study.
