Sheboygan-based Vollrath Co. has announced the acquisition of cooking equipment manufacturer Anvil America, Inc. of Asheville, N.C.
The acquisition allows Vollrath to enter into a number of new product segments, as Anvil produces more than 90 foodservice equipment products, ranging from griddles and sandwich grills to heavy-duty mixers and slicers.
The deal also reinforces the company’s commitment to providing customers with a broad combination of foodservice equipment, company officials said.
“Combining Anvil’s countertop foodservice equipment product offering with Vollrath’s existing portfolio, strong manufacturing reputation and channel management experience further solidifies our position as a leader in the marketplace,” said Tom Belot, Vollrath’s president and chief executive officer, in a written news release.
