About Grote Company Family of Brands

The Grote Company Family of Brands has provided food processing equipment, parts, and services for decades. We work together to give food manufacturers a team of experts in their corner—with hundreds of employees in nine global locations dedicated to providing more complete solutions and unwavering support. We ensure food plants run optimally with construction and mechanical services, sanitary conveyance, best-in-class processing equipment, and a robust lifecycle program featuring aftermarket parts and millwright and maintenance services. We have skilled engineering, controls, robotics, project management, and field service teams ready at a moment’s notice. Nearly 400,000 square feet of domestic manufacturing capacity enables more OEM solutions and faster lead times. Our businesses operate on the principles of doing the right thing and treating others how they’d like to be treated. From the first inquiry to when our equipment needs to be replaced decades later, we are committed to supporting food operations and won’t stop until your machines and teams are running right. We call it our “enduring commitment.” The brand family started in 1972 with Jim Grote inventing the Peppamatic pepperoni slicer and founding Grote Company. His other endeavors include Donatos Pizza and The Edge Innovation Hub, which share a campus with our headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. Jim’s nephews Bob (CEO) and Jack (COO) have led the companies since 2008, keeping our family-owned and operated legacy. The third generation of the Grote family now helps lead the charge into the future. Our family of brands has since grown to include the following divisions: Grote Company McCabe’s Mechanical Services PFI ProFab SPI Automation Vanmark
