About Grote Company
Grote Company is a family-owned manufacturer of industrial food slicing and assembly equipment based in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1972 by Jim Grote, the company began as a specialist in food processing machinery and has remained under family ownership for over five decades. The company designs and builds three primary equipment lines: pizza topping lines that automate sauce depositing, pepperoni slicing, and cheese or IQF ingredient application; sandwich assembly lines that combine fixed equipment and robotics for depositing, slicing, assembling, aligning, and cutting; and a range of food slicers from multi-purpose offline models to high-speed multi-lane industrial units. Beyond hardware, Grote provides parts and blade ordering, training, equipment health assessments, field service, reconditioning, and replacement support, and operates demo facilities for customer product testing. Grote serves food processors worldwide, including frozen pizza manufacturers, sandwich producers, meat processors slicing pepperoni and other proteins, jerky makers such as Las Vegas Jerky's, and bakery operations. Reference customers cited include Kunzler & Company and Martel Foods, which automated sandwich lidding with Grote robotics. The company emphasizes an enduring commitment to service, citing durable equipment built to last, 50 years of application-specific expertise, and a partnership model that supports customers through every project phase. This people-first approach, rooted in the founder's original vision, remains the stated differentiator.
