The Middleby Corporation filed a Form 8-K describing leadership plans for its previously announced spin-off of its Food Processing business into an independent public company targeted for the second quarter of 2026. Mark Salman, currently President of Middleby Food Processing Group, will become Chief Executive Officer of the standalone Food Processing company upon completion of the spin-off, while Mark Bowie will serve as Chief Operating Officer.
Under Salman’s leadership, the Food Processing segment generated $850 million in revenue in 2025, up from $390 million in 2018, driven by 16 strategic acquisitions representing about $300 million in combined annual revenues and strong organic growth. Middleby describes the spin-off as part of a strategic portfolio transformation aimed at creating three focused, industry-leading businesses and enabling the Food Processing business to pursue its own capital allocation strategy and growth investments.
