Crown Steam Group a Division of the Middleby Corporation

Crown, a division of the Middleby Corporation, is recognized as a global leader in heavy-duty, commercial cooking equipment. With perpetual new equipment innovations in the areas of energy savings, cooking speed, automation and safety, Crown products are considered the best in the industry by chefs, consultants and industry experts. In the mid 90’s, Southbend’s operating company in Canada (Escan) shifted its production of steam vessels to Crown Foodservice Equipment. At the same time, Crown purchased and improved the gas kettle designs from Southbend (Escan). This was the beginning of the long tenured relationship that existed between Crown Foodservice and Middleby. Crown now had a complete line of both gas and electric vessels to offer the marketplace.
