Vollrath Acquires Anvil America


With more than 90 foodservice equipment products ranging from griddles and sandwich grills to heavy duty mixers and slicers, Anvil's product line enables Vollrath to enter into a number of countertop equipment segments with a complete product offering.  This acquisition also reinforces Vollrath's commitment to providing its customers with the broadest combination of smallwares and foodservice equipment available in the industry.  In addition, incorporating Anvil's superior technical service capabilities will enhance Vollrath's unparalleled customer service, the company said in its announcement.

“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, president and ceo of The Vollrath Company.
