DURABLE FOOD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT

Our food slicing and assembly equipment performs and stands up to the rigors of repeated, heavy use. The same focus goes into our OEM band blades and spare parts that keep our equipment running in top form for decades.

Durable equipment and parts heighten food processors' ROIs with increased uptime, production, and yield—not to mention improved and consistent quality.

Reliable 20-Year-Old Slicer, Helpful and Prompt Service

We have been using our Grote slicer to slice about 1 million slices of pepperoni weekly for the last 20 years. After this heavy use, it is still extremely durable and reliable with no major issues. Everyone is very helpful and prompt when we need a part or service. We are very satisfied with Grote Company.

We have a complex project that is not done, but I would consider it successful. Grote's field service and customer service teams keep going above and beyond to understand and reach my goals. Each person I work with is pleasurable and excellent at what they do. I look forward to working with your company for many years to come.

Phenomenal Service From Beginning to End

From my first interaction to our final installation and training, Grote Company was a pleasure to work with. The customer service I received was nothing short of phenomenal. And I have peace of mind going forward that they are only a phone call, text, or email away.
