The Middleby Corporation

The Middleby Corporation is a global leader in the design, manufacture, marketing, distribution, and service of commercial cooking equipment, industrial processing equipment, and residential appliances. Headquartered in Elgin, Illinois, the company's mission is to provide customers with advanced industry solutions across these sectors.

The company operates through three primary segments: Commercial Foodservice Equipment, Food Processing Equipment, and Residential Kitchen Equipment. Its extensive product portfolio includes a wide range of solutions for food preparation, cooking, refrigeration, and beverage, such as conveyor ovens, fryers, combi ovens, and industrial processing machinery. Middleby serves a diverse customer base, including quick-service and full-service restaurants, institutional kitchens, food processors, and luxury residential markets, offering innovative solutions like IoT-enabled equipment and air purification systems.

Timothy FitzGerald has served as the Chief Executive Officer since February 2019, and Brittany Cerwin was appointed Chief Financial Officer in March 2026. The Middleby Corporation is currently undergoing a significant strategic restructuring, which includes the sale of a 51% controlling interest in its Residential Kitchen business to 26North Partners LP and a planned spin-off of its Food Processing division into a separate publicly traded company by early 2026. This strategic move aims to enhance focus and unlock value across its core operations.
